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.

  awesome rig - 2003 Ford F-150
  By brent - July 22 - 3:56 pm

  This truck has been awesome. I searched around until I found one with a 3.73 limited slip rear end it has tons of power with the 5.4. The King Ranch leather is a lot nicer than the Lariat the mileage is actually ok for a fairly large truck with a big v8. Owned Chevys and Toyotas and this truck rides smoother, has better build quality, and gets a lot more complements about the interior and exterior styling.

  Great Truck, Tons of Room - 2003 Ford F-150
  By Big Mech - July 5 - 11:49 pm

  After having a 1994 Ranger STX, Im hooked on having a pickup, but needed something I could fit the expanding family in. The Super Crew fit the bill perfectly. Im 66" and this a very comfortable for me. Its great for the snow here in New England, and is easy to drive considering how big it is. The 5.4L has more than enough power to get this truck around. We have had it for 2 years with no problems, and the gas mileage is better than expected, as its no worse than my Ranger which had the 4.0L V6

  Nearly Perfect Sport Truck - 2003 Ford F-150
  By Jim - June 29 - 6:50 am

  This truck can best be described as Fords rendition of a Corvette with a pickup bed. Eyeball-flattening acceleration, sports car handling, and the ability to carry a half ton of stuff in the back. My only two complaints are the lack of a manual transmission (although it does have the best automatic Ive experienced) and the gas mileage: 14 MPG on the mandatory premium fuel. Ouch! But thats the price you pay for this much fun and utility in one good-looking package.

  Very Nice Truck - 2003 Ford F-150
  By TommyBoy - May 30 - 2:21 am

  This truck is by far the most reliable of them yet. Maybe after a few years then new F-150s will bypass the milestone Ford has set for the reliability of its F-150 models.

  Versatile - 2003 Ford F-150
  By ray70 - May 27 - 10:00 am

  I needed a vehicle that could haul 5 adult passengers, a reasonable sized payload, do well on snowy and icy roads (Montana), and do well on eroded, rocky, unmaintained forest service road. I think I bought the perfect vehicle. It is truly fun vehicle to drive and rides extremely well. I am tired after a 12 hour drive, but not exhausted. It get reasonably good gas mileage (not great) for big truck. Thus far it has been extremely reliable. I love my truck and look for reason to drive it.

  Best Value Truck / SUV - 2003 Ford F-150
  By ddent01 - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Just picked up my 03 F150 SCrew. Overall very pleased with fit & finish. I consider this to be the best overall value truck/SUV on the market. Seating for six and great interior. Really like the sporty look and comfortable ride ! Just couldnt talk myself into a van. Would like to have waited for the new 04, but once I read theyre going to lifetime transmission fluid I knew the 03 was for me.

  Typical Ford Truck - 2003 Ford F-150
  By Greg - March 17 - 5:32 pm

  I rated the mileage at a 7, but honestly it is on par for the type vehicle it is. But it is costly for just running around town. It has been on several long trips with 4 and luggage and actually performs well on the road. Super low end torque for trailer towing. Rides smoother than most cars and handles pretty good as well.

  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.

  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.

  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.
