Used 2008 Ford F-150 for Sale

I am not what somebody would call a "truck person". I find myself drawn to sporty, little cars that can zip around town and get good gas mileage and provide style and comfort while I'm at it. My husband was the one who insisted on a pickup truck, and I have to say, I am really glad he did. We bought our Ford F-150 from a dealership when it was about a year old, and I fell in love the first time I slid behind the wheel. I love the feeling of being up higher than most other vehicles on the road. It gives me a greater sense of control as I drive. When I thought about driving a truck before, I always thought of a rough ride that was uncomfortable and bumpy. But I was sorely mistaken and greatly misled with this assumption. The ride is as smooth as in a car, and the seating and maneuverability are just as good as a regular car. The engine size of the F-150 is bigger than anything I have ever had in a vehicle. As a result, it is more powerful than anything I had ever driven. It accelerates quickly and smoothly, yet is light enough to brake as effectively as a smaller vehicle. The suspension is really good, which makes for a smoother ride than my previous vehicles, as well. And of course, the versatility of the pickup truck is second to none. Not only can we use it to pull our camper, but I can use it to take the kids back and forth to school, do all of my grocery shopping, and make a quick jaunt to the mall. It performs well in EVERY aspect. The downside is definitely the size of it. It is LONG. That makes it a little more difficult for me to park, and backing out of a tight parking lot is always frustrating. The engine size is both a pro and a con--it helps give the vehicle power, but it also means it uses more gas and has a bigger gas tank.

I like the fact that my truck requires little maintenance with 125,000 miles on it. I like the fact that my truck is reliable and dependable. It gets me to my destination every time and has never left me on the side of the road yet. I also like that it has the full tow package which has come in handy quite a few times (towing trailers, pulling people out of ditches, etc.). My truck rides nicely for it's age and the interior has held up well to the miles and years put on the truck.
