Buying Advice

For the 2010 Ford F-150 Regular Cab, we would recommend getting the mid range FX4 (4WD) trim. It adds additional features like a towing package, 18-inch wheels, underbody skid plates, retuned springs and shock absorbers, front bucket seats, a six-way power driver seat and satellite radio. This makes your truck a more versatile performer all around in any environment it finds itself in. We also liked the Ingot Silver, Oxford White, and Sterling Gray Metallic exterior paint options as they give the muscular pickup truck a more formidable look.
