FORD F-150 Super Cab 2009-2012 Photos, engines & full specs

Over 1000 engineers worked on the twelfth generation of the F-150 to help the best-selling nameplate in automotive history stay on top of its game, despite the world financial crisis.

Developed in 35 versions, the F-150 offered something for everyone. From the rancher in Texas to the contractor in Florida, a version could suit any job. But, most importantly, it could serve as a family car as well.

While the Regular Cab was the family's workhorse, the Super Cab sat between that and the Super Crew. It still featured four doors, but unlike its bigger sibling, it had rear-hinged doors for the passengers who sat in the back. But, depending on the budget, it could provide a flashy appearance with its three-slat chromed grille at the front and the stepped line over the front doors.

Inside, the Super Cab provided all the comfort for the front passengers, thanks to its wide seats. A massive center console, which served as a storage area and hosted the gear lever, divided the cabin in two. A complete instrument cluster fitted with two large dials and four small gauges provided the necessary information for the driver. In addition, an LCD sat between the speedometer and tachometer, showing more data from the on-board computer.

Like its siblings, the Super Cab featured a hydroformed chassis designed for endurance and heavy punishments on rough terrain and heavy loads. Ford offered two vehicle lengths, depending on the box size in the back, which came in three sizes. Under the hood, the carmaker installed a choice of three V8 engines, which provided between 248 hp and 320 hp. The six-speed automatic gearbox was standard on the entire range.
