F150Roger

The good: The EcoBoost engine in the 2011 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCab 4x4 lends plenty of power, and a solid four-wheel drive system has high and low settings. The cabin tech provides data including weather, traffic, and fuel prices. The Sony audio system adds some unexpectedly high-quality sound.

The bad: The drivetrain leads to some slight hesitation during acceleration and the four-wheel drive binds when the steering is at its lock point.

The bottom line: The 2011 Ford F-150 takes advantage of modern technology and loses none of its practical working capabilities. Nice touches include the EcoBoost engine's power and the Sony audio system's quality.

With a name that sounds more like a part number than a car model, the 2011 Ford F-150 retains the utility that helped make it the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for 24 years. The twin steel beams that make up the frame and large leaf springs visible through the rear wheel arches attest to the truck's continued working-class nature.
