Overview & Reviews

Arriving in 2003 for the XLT supercab styleside configuration is the Heritage Edition, which includes 17-inch wheels, a chrome cab step and various stylistic flairs such as a black bedliner, a lower valance, paint striping and a paint scheme with a raised cut-line. Also new is an STX edition for the XL- and XLT-trimmed regular and supercabs that includes an MP3 player combined with a monochromatic color scheme and clear lights, among others. Upgrades for the fancy King Ranch flavor consist of fake wood for the interior, lighted step bars and an in-dash six-disc CD changer. For the Lariat, expect a standard rear window defroster and a Pioneer CD and cassette system (the latter is also newly available on the XL and XLT). Harley-Davidson models have the option of getting a two-tone black-and-silver paint. Finally, a new LATCH system helps you tie down the kiddie seats properly.

• Wide range of configurations and features, capable powertrains and suspension, attractive styling inside and out.

• Poor IIHS crash test result, everybody and his brother has one.

  Not what I expected - 2003 Ford F-150
  By Joe - March 13 - 9:35 pm

  I had the truck back to the dealer 5 times for the rear and transmission making noise. They could never duplicate it the last time I took the mechanic out and we had to get towed back. They finally fixed it but I should have gone with a Tundra.

  Cant beat a tough truck. - 2003 Ford F-150
  By fordfan - March 11 - 2:48 pm

  This truck has given me nothing but pleasure while driving. Ive put on over 10,000 miles, and have no regrets over my purchase. The heated seats are great on a cold morning, and the 4WD can help me pull through a soggy field without getting stuck. Not to mention the 5.4L motor can really haul. This truck also cleans up nice for when its time to hang out and go downtown. Overall a great truck, at what I feel is a great price.

  SVT F150 Lightning - 2003 Ford F-150
  By gadgetman - March 2 - 10:00 am

  An amazing performance value. Dont buy this truck for fuel economy or any practical concerns. If you want an extended cab then dont get a Lightning, they made no compromises in performance for practicality. the lightest bed, shortest wheelbase etc. Dont complain about tire wear, they last long for being used in such a heavy and powerful vehicle.

  7700 package 5.4liter 4x4 - 2003 Ford F-150
  By 037700XL - February 10 - 8:58 pm

  Seats uncomfortable on long hauls. Front of bucket seat too high for me. Click on acceleration, maybe u-joints. 4WD floor shift works, but sometimes have to drive a fair distance to engage once it wouldnt till put into 4low, then clunked into 4x4. CD/radio went completely dead for 2 hour highway drive then came back on and hasnt done it since. Surprisingly smooth ride considering heavy duty package.

  the truck - 2003 Ford F-150
  By nat - February 7 - 5:15 pm

  Ive owned two F150s and six Fords total this truck has been so far the best vehicle Ive owned. Ford has a winner with the King Ranch and they know it.

  I really love my F-150. I have always wanted an F-150, and when I bought mine I havent been let down. Around town or on the highway, it definitely does not disappoint.

  bad ride - 2003 Ford F-150
  By ilersg - February 2 - 3:38 am

  This truck looks good but on the concrete freeways it has a real bad washboard ride the whole way. I asked the dealer if there was anything I could do to improve the ride and they said not to their knowledge. So now I will buy a GMC.

  Bestest Truck - 2003 Ford F-150
  By Mike - January 13 - 9:28 pm

  Recently bought this truck used. My first BIG TRUCK. Also my first V8. Awesome power added with the 4X4 and you have a powerful truck that can do just about anything you may ask it to. You cant go wrong with the best built truck on the market. I recently slid on some ice and hit a guardrail going about 35mph and I was not hurt at all and the truck only had some fender damage (and the airbags work!). FORD TOUGH is right on - probably saved me from being hurt.

  I love my truck. Yes I do! - 2003 Ford F-150
  By Lightningstrike03 - December 1 - 10:00 am

  Great Truck! Soooo incredibly fast and powerful. I must have the 500+ hp 2004 coming out. I loved Ford when I had my Taurus SHO and they continue to not fail me with the Lightning. KUDOS!
