The Ford Platinum F-150 Wow! Factor

Tonight at 6:30 PM we are going to host the Ford F-150 Drop Event from Price Tower. If you are going to attend there is a 80% chance that on your way to Price Tower you will see or pass a Ford F-150. There is also a better than 50-50 chance that in the Continental 48 as well as Alaska and Hawaii if you drive somewhere today you will also see or pass a Ford F-150.

So with that being said when we use the word “Platinum” in combination with Ford F-150 what does that mean?

Platinum is a trim level or model component that is added to the basic 2009 F-150 XL trim level or package. There are seven trim levels or models of the 2009 Ford F-150, The Basic model is the F-150 XL the top model is the F-150 Platinum.
