The Classic Truck
If style, flexibility and being lightweight are your requirements for a truck of your choice, then the best one to get is the Ford F-150. The F-series of Ford has received numerous acclaims on its ability to be not only "a truck" but "the truck" of choice for most truck enthusiasts. Its classic look enhances its powerful engine that can carry almost everything you can think of.
To describe the Ford F-150 as lightweight may be contradictory to its capacity and yet it is quite true of this truck. It is considered to be the lightest in the family of F trucks by Ford. You can choose from a couple of trims, both XL and XLT, with the latter being more sought after because of its better deal in options.
The Ford F-150 comes in several cab sizes: the biggest is SuperCrew Cab, then SuperCab, and the normal sized one, Regular Cab. There are also several choices as to engine power and size. First is a 6-valve 4.2 liter engine that can produce 202 horsepower. Next is an 8-valve 4.6 liter engine capable of producing 231 horsepower. The last is an 8-valve 5.4 liter engine that can produce 300 horsepower. It can also be driven with 2x4 or 4x4 wheels, using a four speed automatic transmission. But for those who like reaching the maximum speed of a truck, there is also the 5 speed manual transmission.
The Ford F-150 is a truly a charmer, an all around truck for the well rounded guy, including grandparents as well.
