  • Opinion of the new Ford F150 - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    We have driven Fords for years. The new 2004 seems to have gone backwards as far as interior design comfort. The back seats are very uncomfortable for an adult. Location of cupholders and info such as outside temp indicator is difficult to see. The new box is too deep, making it difficult to retrieve items without opening the tailgate.

  • Scotts review - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    This is the best truck ever built. Ive owned or my company has owned 5 different trucks in the past 15 years and this one makes the rest of them, including my 2001 F-250 Powerstroke Diesel 4x4 to shame in quality and design. It makes my Chevys look like crap. If you want a REAL truck, buy the F-150.

  • Love Hate - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    I am a fan of Ford and I do enjoy my F150. However there has been some short cuts in the engineering of this truck. Ive had issues with the window motors, warped exhaust manifolds, replacing brake rotors after 42K and the rear end binding around corners. However Ive towed my boat from Seattle to Page, AZ and back with no problems.

  • Think Again - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    After I bought it, I loved it. However, there were rear end problems twice, then the drive shaft, now the rear end again. I have babied this thing and it cant seem to handle simply driving down the road. It is a 4x4, but I dont trust the drivetrain enough to do anything with it. The engine also makes alot of noise, but Ford said this is normal due to 5W-20 oil. I would look elsewhere if I were you.

  • Gear Shift - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    I like most things about the new F150 -- BUT I DO NOT like the gear shift on the floor, the black plastic mirrors (altho bigger IS better) and the black plastic door handles

  • Like driving a cloud. - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    After driving my old 87 Ranger for over 13 yrs. it was such a pleasure to get in and drive this machine. (04 F150 XLT 4x4 Supercab) A comparison between the two is like night and day. Now i even look for reasons to drive it.

  • New Ford Owner - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    I used to drive a Maxima, but found it to be less than practical. I needed a truck so I got the F-150, and its pretty sweet. The power is sufficient for me, lots of cargo capacity, exterior styling is the best and the interior is deluxe. I had always thought Chevy had Fisher Price interior styling. I did consider the Titan but wasnt happy with my last Nissan expeince, so I went with Ford. I do notice some vibration/shaking when driving at 65MPH. Maybe its poorly balanced tires or just a tight suspension. Ill have it checked out.

  • Impressed - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    I worked for two summers to save up for my first car and I am so glad I chose this one. I payed about 2000 under KBB for the truck and am really happy with my purchase. The only problem I have noticed is that when large amounts of water run off of the back of the roof small amounts leak into the vehicle. I have since been informed that it is a defect with the upper brake light and will get it fixed soon. The four wheel drive is far beyond what I expected and I have pulled out two Dodges and an FJ cruiser thus far. Soon to be lifted as well

  • Beauty and the Beast...All in one - 2004 Ford F-150
    By -

    Bought this 04 SVT used. No regrets! This truck is a beast! You want a rush? Mash the pedal and if you can, hold on! You had better be ready! I get tons of looks and complements every time that I drive this beauty. Respectable MPG for such power (13/18.) Had it for 7 months now and no problems. The only complaint I have is that I dont have enough time to drive it more. I have only put 1000 miles on it.
