    Smooth driving and can barely hear exterior noises at freeway speed. Interior design very unique and functional. Durable leather interior and the audiophile stereo upgrade is a must !

  • Another Truck Review - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    Great truck, so far only 3,000 miles on it and no complaints. Gas mileage not great but its a truck. The interior is like a sedan with no engine noise and very little road noise. A/C is not cold; on 100 degree days it can still be warm in the cab. The sound system is lacking power unless you add a amp. or aftermarket speakers. The power of the truck is adequate for the truck size. Cmon your pushing 5500 lbs. of steel. When you step on the gas it will go, it just takes a little bit longer. The new tires that Ford has contracted with is okay, why didnt they make a more common size; its pretty hard to find a replacement tire. Overall great truck.

    Drives and rides well. More than adequate power and torque for pulling a full size bass boat (my primary reason for purchasing).

  • Best Truck on the Road - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    For the money I believe it is the best truck on the road. I dont have a complaint. The interior has all the options including leather, heated seats, and dvd system with headphones and remote. No problems with build or options. Solid as a rock. I have had it a year and a half and the ride is great, tons of room in front and the back for my passengers. I have slept in the back on long trips. The captains chairs are huge and comfortable. 300 hp is plenty and going the speed limit on highway gets me 20 mpg or better. Back up sensor is great option. All vehicles should have it.

  • Have you driven a Ford lately! - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    I have owned Ford pickups since 1975. Each has been better than the last. I needed a 4 door this time to carry around my grand children. The cab is like a car, roomy and plush. It has given me great service with no need to take it to the shop. Overall, I give it a 9 out of 10

  • The best all around truck - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    This is the best all around truck I have ever driven or owned. The suspension of the truck is great. Fully loaded with tools you cannot even feel it.The ride is still smooth. Put it this way, I love my truck!

  • Great Pickup for the family - 2005 Ford F-150

    This is a good family truck. It has room for my wife and three sons. Great for vacations and fishing trips.

  • My Lariat F150 - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    Completely satisfied! Spent many months researching and went with the F150 over the Titan with no regrets. The interior is pure luxury, the exterior has the best appearance. The Titan was tempting for awhile but I grew tired of that look and the Titan interior is no match. Ford quality is real.

  • Great USA Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    This is one nice riding truck. Traded in Exploror. No comparison in the ride. It rides like a good quality car. It has a smart look, and the design of the engine makes for easy repair access. You are driving a truck with all the features of a truck but has a smooth ride, and very quiet. I cannot say more about this truck but one word. great. This USA auto maker is better than imports.

  • Best Vehicle Ever - 2005 Ford F-150
    By -

    Wow, Ford did it right with the new F-150. Im 50 years old. I have bought new Dodge, Chevy, Honda, and other Ford products and this 05 F-150 is the best ever. I have owned it almost two years and 30,000 miles and not one problem. Not even a small problem. The last new truck I bought was a 2000 Silverado and that was a nightmare from the time I took delivery until i traded it 36,000 miles later. The Ford is at the other end of the scale. It rides nice, is super quiet inside, and is pretty good on gas. Seats could be softer, and it could use more power. I got the 4.6 v8, should have got the 5.4. Other than that, the truck is flawless.
