Experience the 2009 Motor Trend Truck of the Year at Ricart Ford




This truly is a festive time of year at Ricart Ford. There are decorations everywhere. The smell of fresh baked cookies wafts from the break room. Motor Trend announced the new Ford F150 as its 2009 Truck of the Year. People seem a bit happier. Did I mention the new Ford F150 has been announced as Motor Trend’s 2009 Truck of the Year? It bears repeating you know, especially since the new 2009 F150 not only beat out the revamped Dodge Ram, but the critics at Motor Tend have heralded the new 2009 F150 as the best F150 ever, and that’s saying a whole lot!
Sure, I could tell you about the 12% fuel economy increase for the 2009 F150, or the benefits of the best in class rigidity, pay-load capacity, and tow ratings, but will instead let you read it from Motor Trend here. It always seems to mean a bit more when you hear it from unbiased vehicle experts doesn’t it? Now that you have heard Motor Trend’s opinion, it’s time for you to stop by Ricart Ford in The Ricart Megamall and see about the new 2009 Ford F150 for yourself. While you are scoping out he best F150 ever, keep all these points from Ford in mind:

"Unrivaled Capability: Best-in-class towing (11,300 lbs.), hauling capacity of 3,030 lbs. and more standard safety equipment than any other half-ton pickup on the market, at a real value.
Unsurpassed Fuel Economy: The 2009 F-150 has a fleet-wide fuel economy improvement of 8 percent versus the 2008 model; fuel economy improves by as much as 12 percent for trucks equipped with the 5.4-liter V-8 engine. A new superior fuel economy package SFE, available on our highest-volume F-150 XL and XLT models delivers an unmatched combination: unsurpassed 15 mpg in the city/21 mpg on the highway while still offering 7,500 lbs. of towing capacity."

"More Choice: With three cab styles, four box options and seven unique trim levels, the F-150 meets the widest range of customer needs and wants. It s powered by one of three V-8 engines, mated to either a four-speed or a new fuel-efficient six-speed automatic transmission."


"Smart Features: F-150 s industry-exclusive smart features and class-leading technology help make truck owners more productive and driving, towing and hauling easier and safer. Cutting-edge connectivity technologies include Ford SYNC, SIRIUS Travel Link, voice-activated navigation and Sony audio. Through Ford Work Solutions, customers will have the connectivity, flexibility and security to better run key aspects of their business from their Ford truck even on the job site. We've also made the F-150 s pickup box easier to use, more flexible and accessible."


"Quality and Durability Legacy: There are more F-Series trucks with 250,000 miles or more on the road today than any other trucks. No company has a more durable pickup than F-150 at three years in service."
