Hey guys, i just had a quick question.
I think White Pearl could probably answer it, but i'm sure a few of you would know too.
Anyway i was looking at f-150's and came across a limited for sale around here, before i go see it i have a few questions.
Is it awd? i can't find anything ANYWHERE about the drivetrain on these, i'm sure its not 4wd. So if that is the case and it is awd, all you living in canada know what kinda winters we get.
How does awd perform vs. against a regular 4x4? i wanna be able to go out and blast through snow drifts and just have fun, up until awhile ago i drove a new silverado with 4x4, but got rid of it.
But i've never driven anything with awd so i have no idea what to expect
thanks to anyone that answers!

Yes it is AWD and 4Hi selected with a switch
AWD is amazing, I think the best system out of all the trucks and I drove all of them
There is no wheel spin at all (Rain or shine)
Snow is different, when you floor it it does spin, but the best out of all the truck (must be the weight)

IN the U.S.A. you can get a 2wd or AWD Limited but up here only AWD

so basically, if it just snowed. you can turn it over to 4HI, and it would perform the exact same as a regular f150 4x4?
im just worried it would be more of a all show, no go when it counts type thing.
like if i need to get to work, i want to have the comfort knowing that i can drive through the snow without worrying about getting stuck

You got it
4hi is the same as 4X4 hi
So you will be just fine
I turn on my only 2 times last year
AWD did just fine in snow it reacts very quickly

if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it. I'm sure you bought it new, my local dealer has what im assuming is a demo or a management driven one with 2,000 km on it.
but they don't have a price listed

I paid full pop before a price drop
Had it for a Year now and now have 48,000 km
How much is your dealer asking for it

My HD 150 is also AWD and it's great in the snow, only needed 4H once last year even in all that snow.
Co-worker owns a limited. What a nice truck. I drove it around for a week, great interior and gotta love the styling of the exterior. AWD is a huge plus (makes it worse on gas though I believe) and I tried my darndest to fishtail or something, and got nothing.
Those 22's are hard to keep clean of break dust!!

I changed my breaks to hawks, it helped allot
Yea that's a big plus. Love the AWD though, great for winters.
My fusion I just grabbed is AWD too, things are near impossible to skid out. Well, I guess its easy to impress me as having 400+ at the wheels on a truck...lets say traction is not my friend
But those limiteds are sweet, should drop that puppy some more!

Wouldn't the drop kit TruckPilot has on his HD be compatible with your Limited Matt? The drop on his truck looks awsome and I know he said it didn't effect ride quality when I was talking with him in Kingston only trailering ability.
