Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2009 F.
The 2009 Ford F‑750 is a heavy‑duty truck built on the 750 chassis platform, powered by a robust engine and equipped with a four‑speed automatic transmission that delivers 14/19/16 mpg city/highway/combined fuel economy. Its standout spec is the relatively efficient fuel economy for a vehicle of its class, a benefit that is often overlooked in discussions of large trucks. Within the broader reliability timeline from 2004‑2022, the 2009 model saw only one owner complaint—making it the lowest‑complaint year in the series—though the overall vehicle still ranks modestly in the broader fleet’s complaint history, indicating a stable but not exceptional reliability record for that model year.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2009 model year registers only 1 federal complaint and 1 recall alongside 7 technical service bulletins, sitting notably lower than the subsequent 2011 peak of 2 complaints, 3 recalls, and 15 TSBs, and comparable to the 2004 baseline of 0 complaints and 2 recalls. While the specific data cites 28 crash-related and 8 fire-related complaints for 2009, the top complaint areas are distributed across Vehicle Speed Control (38%), Engine (29%), Power Train (26%), and Structure (23%), though the federal record does not specify root causes for these incidents. Across the generation, the trend shows a distinct escalation in regulatory activity and service bulletins beginning in 2011, with intermittent spikes through 2021, placing 2009 in an early, relatively quiet phase of the production cycle before major recall volume materialized. Given its minimal recall burden and modest TSB count compared to later high-activity years, 2009 emerges as a statistically favorable vintage within this generation, provided a thorough pre-purchase inspection addresses the documented crash and fire complaint history.
