This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Wide range of configurations and features, capable powertrains and suspension, attractive styling inside and out.
Cons:
  • Poor IIHS crash test result, everybody and his brother has one.

  • Love my truck - 2003 Ford F-150
    By -

    The 03Ford Harley-Davidson 100th anniversary edition F-150 is one bad truck...period!! The supercharger screams Im not just another F-150 and the only truck badder is my big brother the "Lightning". The truck turns heads from the ages of 5 to 100. Not only does it look good but it can work if the need arises. I installed a hitch and occasionally pull a 14 trailer with no problem.I was actually shopping for a lightning but saw the Harley model and forgot all about the Lightning.If you want a BAD truck with power,looks and room all in one package buy the Harley-Davidson F-150.

  • If it wasnt for the rust - 2003 Ford F-150

    Great truck. Hauled great. K&N Air Intake, custome cat-back dual exhaust added. Gas miliage...well its a truck so what do you expect! If it wasnt for gas prices, I would still have it. The bottom of the doors are starting sto show rust. Concerns me. Sold it just recently for a silly low amount. Bought a Mazda6. I will own a truck again, and it will be a Ford.

  • Best of three - 2003 Ford F-150

    Get 20 mpg on the high way all the time. Use Motor Craft oil in all changes. Always starts, A/C is cold, comfortable for long trips. Companion can put seat down or a child can sleep on back bench. Tinted windows are what I would have installed in another vehicle. Just the right tint. No rattles.

  • Nice truck - 2003 Ford F-150

    This my first truck and I am sure glad its a Ford F-150. This has been 100% reliable and lives up to its built tough title. My truck will most likely be another Ford, if they can get the fuel efficiency up to that of the Toyota Tundra.

  • Love my King Ranch but... - 2003 Ford F-150
    By -

    Love my King Ranch F150, no majar issues after 110K miles besides normal wear and tear with mechanical, brakes, etc. Interior leather is the best, will never own another truck besides Ford King Ranch! Only problem I had is rusting on the inside of lower door panels. Rust warranty would not cover that repair, dealer told me it had to be rsuted all the way through for warranty to cover which was upsetting to hear. I tried to repair myself but the rust along the inside edge keeps returning. I plan on buying a new 2009 King Ranch in a year, Ford builds a great truck!

  • Perfect Compromise - 2003 Ford F-150

    This truck is wonderful. While I havent had it for much more than 3 months I can say its better than I expected and I had high expectations. I got the 5.4 Lariat FX4 and the power is fantastic, the offroad abilities are surprisingly good and the comfort is fantastic. The truck is quiet and solid.

    I owned a silverado prior to buying this truck and the ford wins hands down. More room, comfort and capability makes up for what little difference there is in performance. My wife steals it at every possible opportunity.

  • Great truck - 2003 Ford F-150

    Wonderful truck! Very capable! Really do like the look and improvements for 2004.

  • Great Truck - 2003 Ford F-150
    By -

    This truck is the most fun and practical vehicle Ive ever owned. Not only is it the fastest truck on the road, but it can also tow or haul nearly anything. Only drawback is lots of high octane fuel.

  • I Love My Ford - 2003 Ford F-150

    This is my third F-150, and I wouldnt have it any other way. Im completly satisfied with the quality of Fords product and services and wouldnt even consider anything else. Wonderful to drive and a pleasure to own!
