  Ford 4wd crew cab - 2005 Ford F-150
  By roger mobley - September 17 - 6:04 pm

  This vehicle was to be the last one that I purchased after retirement. So far the truck is all that I want in a pickup and tow vehicle. It has the power to pull any size load so far (8000#). I installed an aftermarket leveling kit. Wow what a difference in appearance, I would say that it has passed all tests. VERY HAPPY!

  My 6th Ford Truck! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Ford Family AR - September 7 - 4:03 am

  Hey Folks! In our family our 4 door 2005 F150 is called Big Daddy. It has quickly become our daily driver due to its comfort, power, and ease to drive. We almost fight over the keys to see who gets to drive it. It has the 5.4L engine which gets OK MPG, has plenty of room for five adults or two cowboys and lots of gear. We pull horse trailers and it never even shifts down pulling hills. We love our Ford F150 and when this one gets 250,000 miles we will replace it with another Ford F-150!

  It lived up to all claims - 2005 Ford F-150
  By John F. Paul - August 17 - 10:00 am

  I started to research the new Ford F150 in February, 2004. By April I was convinced that Ford had made some significant changes to the interior, exterior and most importantly to its safety ratings. I traded a 2000 Chev Silverado, LT Z71. Good truck, but nothing compared to the 2004 F150. Much more room in the bed and cab; love the floor shifter, much better air circulation with great vents, glad I did not get the moonroof, extra space in the overhead rail compartments very handy; best riding vehicle, ca

  Cadillac of all trucks - 2005 Ford F-150
  By JAY STEINER - August 15 - 8:28 am

  I had Dodges and Chevys and they were ok. But this truck is great. This truck is everything I hoped for. Outstanding performance. I want to drive it every day, but want to conserve the mileage. Love the quiet ride. I ride in my sons RAV4 and it generates more noise than a semi. The sound deadening is an awesome feature. Because of the horsepower and the lack of engine or road noise I have to use the cruse control to keep from speeding. Had to go a second dealer. The first lost the deal over a $150 set of running boards. Pull a boat that weighs in 7000 lbs. dont even know it is behind you. I like the 5.4L Great reliability. Highly recommended.

  My Ford F-150 Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By My Ford F-150 - August 7 - 8:23 am

  I had driven my brother Ford F-250 Lariat and I was so surprised that a truck could handle so easily along with comfort plus quietness. When the time came for me to purchase another vehicle, Ford F-150 Lariat was my choice of trucks I had been looking at.In fact, my Ford truck handles more easily than my car. My Ford F-150 is very good on gas, example, I live in Georgia and I took a trip to Jacksonville, North Carolina, approximately 390 miles and it didnt used a full tank of gasoline. It still had 134 miles to go before the big "E". Great on gas, especially now with gas prices over the hill. I wouldnt trade my F-150 for any other truck, just love driving it too much. You Check one out.

  Love This Truck! - 2005 Ford F-150

  This is the best truck I have ever owned. The ride and handling are smooth and it is very quiet in the cabin. Quieter than my wifes minivan.

  looks great - 2005 Ford F-150
  By C.W. - July 22 - 6:13 pm

  I love the 6.5 ft stepside bed with the extended cab look. Awesome looking vehicle, especially in black. Many people complain about the 4.6L power... but unless you are racing your truck, it is more than adequate. You cant expect 0-60s like a sports car in a full size pick up. The power has been more than adequate for me, the transmission gets it moving just fine. I got 17.7mpg on a recent 500 mile trip. Get the 35 gallon fuel tank, well worth it with the low MPG. I get about 15 day to day, which is what I am used to so it doesnt bother me much. Nice heavy truck, solid, and almost silent in the cab. Looks much more stylish than any other full size out there.

  F-150 Review - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Christopher - July 22 - 5:30 am

  Ive owned my F-150 for almost a year now. Ive never been unhappy with my purchase. It has the horsepower I need to haul my camper around the country and it is a smooth ride.

  Big Red Ford - 2005 Ford F-150
  By JLOW - July 9 - 12:06 am

  The 2005 Ford XL V6 is now our Friday night date vehicle. It rides better than the Toyota or Honda cars we have. I love the design and the color. The truck is getting 21 MPG on 2 lane highways at 55 MPH. The gas mileage on the interstate at 70 mph is about 18.5. I am pleased with the truck and I rate it higher than the GMC I traded in.
