Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford F-150?
I have a 08 f150 xtr super crew. Well I do like the way it feels when I drive down the hwy. It feels tight, and when I need to pass, it's there. My driving is all hwy.

I also like that the grab handles are solid for getting in/out.
Also you don't hear the engine at hwy speeds.
I also like that the radio can self adjust to my speed.
The windshield is very wide but not high enough.
The blind spots are not to bad for where they have to be.
Leg room is nice.

Seats move back nice enough to be leg comfy. Seats are all right, but would be better with a arm rest attach to them on the side, for us tall people. It really bites that I have to pack a small pillow in the cab on the center consul to get it to be higher so I don't have to lean over so much. Although there is a lot of room to sleep in the driver's seat when you lay it back. Other then that it's all right.

I might buy anther one in the future.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford F-150?
Fuel mileage.
Higher arm rest.
Better rear heat for rear passengers.
Dim all the mirrors for night driving not just 2.
Put stronger door handles on the inside.

And improve the rubber around the door trims so you can't here the road as much. This is where I feel they cheap out on. I had to take mine in three times to try to fix the road noise - maybe not bad for city driving, but get out on the hwy and you can hear the road.

2008 Ford F-150 Review:
It's not a bad truck, I have driven worse. I also like the way my buddies' truck rides, drives, seat comfort, (08 silver, 4 door g m c). It will be a tough call when it's time for a new one. I do like the way the Ford looks.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford F-150?
Rides like a dream with great turning radius.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford F-150?
4.6L engine is grossly under powered especially for the high gas per mile ratio.

2008 Ford F-150 Review:
I love the truck but wish I would have got the 5.4L or new of some cheap easy tips to increase the HP of my 4.6L. The interior rocks but could use a couple extra storage places.

2008 Ford F-150 Review:
My truck is 5 months old with 6800 miles and it's in the shop to have 2 - coil packs replaced. I traded in a 2004 F150 LXT with 158,000 miles the only thing I did was replace 2 set of brakes. I wonder if I traded a good truck for trouble.

2008 Ford F-150 Review:
I shopped Nissan Titan, Toyota Tundra and Ford F-150. Initial quality, fit and finish, style, and feature/durability for the (by far) best price made this an easy decision. I will keep the truck for years, so resale was not a factor. The comments I hear most are, "That's a beautiful truck," and "The ride is so smooth. It rides better than my car. I can't believe it's a pickup truck."

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford F-150?
WITH THE 2009 MODEL THAT IS COMING OUT

2008 Ford F-150 Review:
IN THE CONS LIST I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT YOU CAN GET A LONG BED SUPERCREW AND SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN GET WITH THE FORD THAT THE OTHERS DO NOT OFFER IS YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET A FLARESIDE BOX WITH THE SUPER CREW TOO WHICH WAS NORMALLY FOR REGULAR AND EXTENDED CAB MODELS ONLY.
