  Over 202k miles! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By kgaston - June 23 - 9:54 pm

  I have logged over 202 thousand miles on this truck since it was bought used in January of 2007. Major repairs: none. Minor repairs: replaced EGR valve at ~175k miles, other than that, it has been just regukar, routine maintenance. My only complaint is the quality of the cloth seats in this vehicle, they easily trap dirt and dust, causing them to stain if so much as a bottle with condensation on the outside is placed in the seat.

  Good so far - 2005 Ford F-150
  By brunswick592 - October 30 - 7:25 pm

  I bought this truck mid-summer 2014, It had 75k miles on it and was babied by the one owner. I bought it with a 6" suspension lift on 35 Nitto trail grapplers. I had a 2009 Avalanche prior to this and so far Im liking the Ford better. The truck runs great with the big lift and tires and has no problem getting into gear. My gas mileage is on average 8-10. Its expensive but I knew what I was getting into. From everything I have read, people have had many problems with the 5.4. So far I havent had any problems, but the ticking noise coming from the engine is only getting louder every oil change. I sure hope she doesnt have any major problems down the road

  F150 for life - 2005 Ford F-150
  By f150freak - August 21 - 5:30 pm

  This is my second F150 Ive owned and Im so happy with the results! These trucks offer both power, longevity and reliability. Im at 118k miles, owned this for 2 years and havent seen a single problem (aside from a cylinder mis-fire which turned out to be a spark plug out of place) I love the look of the truck and the 5.4 is the dominator! The power behind the wheel is awesome, Ive taken other (stock) trucks and not that speed is everything, but it holds its own and cleans their clocks. I would absolutely recommend this truck to anyone looking for a lighter truck (non-diesel) that will tow and is fun to drive.

  Built Ford tough! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By theboss3350 - July 22 - 7:32 pm

  I bought my 05 f150 v6 back in 2009 and has never giving me any problems. It started off at 19,000 miles and just hit 70,000.This truck is great if your looking for something dependable and big. my only problem would be the lack of power and torque. It is very safe too I got rear ended by a expedition at a red light and it only made a small dent in my bumper. The passenger air bag also shuts off when a child is in the front, this feature could save a life.

  Love my Ford - 2005 Ford F-150
  By dlpadilla1 - May 16 - 5:16 pm

  God, what to say about this truck.........oh yeah, AWESOME!! I owned this beast for three years before trading her in and that was only due to gas prices........got to the point where I started crying at the pump. The drive quality was great, really smooth ride. The interior was very spacious for my two kids, wife and myself. It definately had power which was evident by the two sets of BFG All-terrains I went through in 11 months, very expensive and stupid replacement, but fun!! Driving up north was a blast, especially uphill, always had power on tap for passing..........please people, stay to the right!

  2005 F150 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By brettmorey - August 14 - 10:02 am

  Great work truck...really enjoy it. Our F150 is equipped with the 231hp 4.6L V8 and it pulls well, accelerates well and feels rugged. After all its built Ford tough.

  F150 best truck on the market - 2005 Ford F-150
  By James - April 12 - 2:14 pm

  The F150 Lariat supercab has been very reliable with no cost of repairs to date (which is good because Ive been rough with it at times). It rides smooth for a truck while still being able to haul everything a normal person would ever want. Although it may not have the acceleration of competing models, it is definitely built to withstand the abuse of a what I expect a truck to take.

  Lovin my truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Lovin my truck - February 8 - 9:31 pm

  Just bought this truck. Tires are factory size. This truck is great. Ive had lots of Fords but this one Im in love with, and sos my wife (thats a challenge)If I keep my foot out of it Im getting 21-22 mpg @ 60-65 about 18 @ 70-75. I like how high it rides with the stock tires and suspension on it. I also like all the bells and whistles. I didnt buy it to out run the local kids but as far as the handling, performance, and milage, Im impressed.
