Road Test Review: 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150

The Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 package consists of 45-series tires on 22-inch forged aluminum wheels, custom pedals, power running boards, a rearview camera with reverse-sensing system and heated and cooled seats with unique interior materials. There are blacked-out headlamps, smoked taillamps and a tuned exhaust with twin chrome tips.

That little laundry list does nothing to explain the strength of character we find in this latest Harley-Davidson F-150 pickup. Actually, it’s a midnight prowler, a lonely back road hustler and a truck with intriguing appeal. It looks right, sounds right and feels right, nicely consistent with the idea of a Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic or any of Willie G’s finest. It’s a modern truck that squares two rich traditions — Ford and Harley. Appropriately, it’s a full-size domestic product with genuine originality, comfort and style.

This 2010 F-150 is the latest of some 14 Harley Edition F-series trucks made by Ford since 1999. Eight of those have been F-150s, six are Super Dutys, and one is an F-450. Our test unit is a two-wheel-drive F-150, but this latest iteration of the Harley-Davidson Edition is also available as an all-wheel-drive truck. All have roomy Super Crew cabs with a 145-inch wheelbase and 5.5-foot bed.
