2006 Ford F150 Harley Davidson Edition
Upon opening the clam-style doors on the vehicle you really do get a sense of the biker influence. Ford describes the armchair looking seats as being covered in Airline leather. To me, it looks more like the coverings which you would see on motorcycle seats or even saddlebags. Whichever way you look at them, they are tough looking, extremely comfortable and that heavy duty leather should easily last through the lifetime of the vehicle. The little H-D emblems on the seatbacks have been thoughtfully applied and succeed in completing the look.
The Dashboard also carries the H-D logo tastefully throughout and the gauges have a very distinctive look to them. There is a special plate which carries the full VIN number of the vehicle and also the specific build number as this is, of course, a Limited Edition model. The interior is finished off with a leather bound steering wheel/gearshift and the stereo has one of the best speaker systems that I've ever encountered.
Every F150 drives well but it must be said that there is a certain price to pay for those good looking rims. The vehicle does like to follow the truck ruts on the highway and you can almost feel a dime on the roadway. This is not un-livable and to be honest, it's a small price to pay for the stunning looks of the vehicle.
Performance from the 5.4L EFI V8 is plentiful and the O/D transmission is well suited. The exhaust note has a nice growl to it and certainly adds to the Bad-Boy image.
After a week spent in the vehicle, I have to say that my wallet appeared a little lighter after a visit to each gas station. Then again, V8 pickups and even Harley-Davidson motorcycles have never been aimed at the tight-wallet brigade. These modes of transport are all about the total image that they portray and how they make you feel inside.
With that said, I doubt Ford will have any trouble whatsoever moving this year's output of these Limited Editions. The truck certainly looks the part. I can vouch that it turns heads and even though I'm not truly a pickup kind of guy, I enjoyed my week in the Ford F150 Harley-Davidson Edition immensely.
