  F 150 XLT - 2005 Ford F-150
  By o maser - July 23 - 5:20 am

  Bouncy rear end, and clatter on front drivers side; dealer cant find clatter and claims soft and bouncy rear end is normal and can do nothing about it. I had a more stable ride and control on my 1997 Ford F 150 XLT. Can I trade back?

  24 years #1 and still with shortfalls?? - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Ken - July 20 - 11:26 pm

  We have the 2005 Crew Cab Lariat. The interior makes a loud rattling sound which is from the ceiling. With a sunroof, there is no way to attach the ceiling to the roof resulting in a loose flapping sound when you hit a bump. What is amazing is that this was a problem with 04s and yet Ford did nothing about it. So I get my 05 and it has this sound. Instead of pre- fixing it before the buyer takes it, Ford makes you bring it back. Totally ridiculous---Quality is no longer job 1 with Ford. Just check this out before buying the vehicle. Next time...Ill be visiting the Toyota dealership sorry!!!

  Another Truck Review - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Nick - June 11 - 4:40 pm

  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.

  F-150 larriet - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Ray m. alvarez - January 4 - 6:32 pm

  The truck is great and comfortable on the highway, and the ride is so smooth, its like riding in a luxury car. The only gripe I have is the gas mileage, but I guess its because I have the large v-8 motor. I have 36000 miles on it and the mileage is about 17 highway. Although thats not good gas mileage but a lot better than the Dodge of the same size.

  Ford, is it the best in Texas? - 2005 Ford F-150
  By kevin cosby - January 2 - 4:43 pm

  I believe Ford has come a long way in the re-engineering department. I love the quiet ride. I own a 2002 Ford Explorer also, and the new F150 is a much quieter ride. I do believe they all need running bars for short people.This should be standard on all of the Ford pickups. As always there is still room for improvement.

  Love Truck - Hate The Headliner - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Anthony B from NYC - December 24 - 8:59 pm

  When I purchased this vehicle, I was in awe. After a while the truck began to develop a few rattles but not many as my cars in the past. The most major problem I have encountered with this vehicle was the floppy headliner. I have had to install my own version of a packing foam in the headliner to eliminate the problem. I have currently experienced a problem in cold weather with the headliner tapping sounding as if the rear window is rattling but I have yet to experience any relief. All in all this vehicle was great on long trips. However the retention value is terrible!.

  good truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Ken - December 23 - 10:26 am

  Had problems with steering vibration right after I bought it. Turned out balancing the tires did the trick, though first time in all the vehicles Ive bought Ive had to have this done right out of the gate. Ride and handling are great, 5.4 is a little sluggish but acceptable. Love the interior and like the deep bed as it gives more inside space with a tonneau cover. Fuel mileage is ok, compares with the 1/2 ton Chevy I had. Love the looks of the truck, again great ride and handling.

  Looks Awesome Breaks Often - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Blaze659 - November 22 - 4:48 pm

  Interior/exterior awesome styling. Hand grabs great. Large mirrors allow you to change lanes easy. Head rests you can actually use. Upgraded stereo sound great. Seatbelt position on seat works outstanding. The flareside styling is awesome. Tires seem to be wearing very fast. There is a drivetrain rattle that is still not found. The 4 wheel drive system has gone out twice now. Modules the first time, now the the motor that engages the system is broken. The transmission slips a little. Only 19000 miles on truck.
