• Exceptional ride and handling characteristics, attractive and functional interior designs, multiple cab and bed configurations, the most payload and towing capacity in the half-ton class.

• Feels sluggish even with larger V8, no available side airbags, not much interior storage space.

  My F-150 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By No Name - January 1 - 8:06 am

  Dont like the limited use guidelines when in 4 wheel drive on pavement. Steering while in 4 wheel drive binds up a bit when in tight turns. MPG has averaged 12.5 - 12.7.

  Love this truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Mercedes Owner - December 26 - 3:23 pm

  This is the first American vehicle I have bought since US vehicle quality went down the tubes in the early 80s. I drive my truck on road and off, highway and local, through extremely bad weather (hurricanes) and I have not had a single problem with this truck. Ive hauled lumber in the bed, and pulled single axle trailers with this truck, and it has been great. The sunroof and 6 CD changer has been great, the heated seats are fantastic, and the AC works fine in our 100+ degree summers here. Ford just sent me a letter extending the coverage on the fuel injectors for 10 years....but I have not had any problems. I use premium gas and get oil and tires serviced on time. This is a great truck

  Overall this is a great truck! Its nice to drive a big truck and have all the luxury options to go with it. I can haul almost anything and everything, and still enjoy all of its interior features. The ride is smooth and quiet. The exterior looks sporty and there are many upgrades and accessories that you can to the style of your choosing.

  Nice Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By fordtrkman - December 13 - 8:33 am

  I have the xl v-6 with the work truck pkg. Very nice truck to be basic.It gets better gas milage than my 96 Explorer Sport w/v-6 and 5-speed. I am very impressed with the smooth ride and handleing. The xtra room behind the seats is great. After driving this truck I dont think I could ever drive the other regular cabs.The truck looks good, and because its an XL its easy to keep the interior clean. No carpet to get stained.

  If you want a REAL truck, this is the one to get. Power, comfort, amenities ... too many unbelievable features to list. The overhead rail system is pretty sweet too. It responds great, and is willing to do just about anything you want, and go wherever.

  The truck of all trucks! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Big Nail - November 7 - 7:13 pm

  I traded in my 1999 F250 gasser for this truck and never looked back. This truck is perfect for me inside and out. I love the red exterior with the black interior (Im a Georgia fan, GO DAWGS!).

  Were pleased in Clifton, Virginia! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Dave and Ann - November 7 - 1:23 am

  Our 2005 Lariat is a well built luxury full size pick up without the Lincoln LT price. We note excellent workmanship with no rattles, loose trim, or mechanical problems after 4,000 miles. We receive lots of positive comments from friends, neighbors, and strangers. The 2005 has improved safety and structural integrity over our two previous F-150s a 1997 and a 2001. The 2005 has more power for towing than our previous 2001 5.4. The 2005 has excellent driveability and is very comfortable on long trips. You are only reminded that you are driving a full size truck when you stop to fill the gas tank (14-19mpg range), but with the need to occasionally pull a horse trailer there is no better option!

  F 150 Super Crew - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Steve Melton - October 30 - 11:13 pm

  Good overall truck, nice interior with leather captain chairs with floor shifter and console. Build quality is so far been outstanding. Much stiffer ride than 2001 F150 I traded. Dealer easy to work with

  FX4 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By GD - October 28 - 4:50 am

  FX4 with leveling kit, cold intake, Magnaflow dual exhaust. The throttle response is much better with modifications and even a little better gas mileage.
