New 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum

The 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum is the most opulent and, as is to be expected, expensive yet. You're not talking something in the high-40s or mid-50s here; this thing has a $59,529 sticker, before the rich incentives and deductions.

The 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum is not a wuss of a thing. The 5.4-litre V8 (310 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque) and six-speed automatic transmission combine to bring plenty of hop off the line and on through the mid-range. The limited-slip differential and P275/55R20 wheel/tire package deliver a ton of traction, which helps to quell unwanted wheelspin in the first place. AdvanceTrac (a stability/traction control system) then takes care of what does surface.

The 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum is both a full-on workhorse and a luxurious ride at the same time. The more kilometres one piles on behind the wheel, the more one begins to appreciate its split personality -- it will pull a horse/boat trailer by day and can be valet parked beside the Ferraris of the world at night.
