2009 Review - The Good Bad and Ugly
#16
My 2009 KR has chrome running bars, which look better than the plastic colored ones IMHO. The best features are SYNC and the leather seats, very nice!
Unfortunately, I have had several issues with the KR including leaking third stop light (was replaced after cab filled with water), squeaky rear springs (were replaced after 3 trips to the dealer), poorly shifting transmission (was reprogrammed), rust on paint (was compounded out by paint shop), now power steering is going out.
I only have 7000 miles on it so far and too many trips back to the dealer for repairs. My 2001 XLT was more reliable. Maybe I should have kept it another year and waited for 2010 model.

Well after 6 months and 16k in the road. I can say I am super happy. No real issues. I love the ride and just the way the truck drives. Yea I could pick on little things I would like changed, but over all a great truck that should give years of service. BTW I traded my 06 F-250 6.0 FX4 XLT Sport in on this truck and don't miss it at all. I have owned several F series trucks this one is the best so far.
