  Well Built Very Reliable - 2005 Ford F-150
  By bob g - April 24 - 2:42 pm

  I was a japanese truck buyer for years.. I own a farm in Waco and pull large trailers. I needed something that can pull. My tacoma could not. I bought my 05 Lariat FX4 4x4 Crew brand new with 26 miles expecting to get 80k and dump it. Now i have 211,460 as of right now and has been great. Only repairs were headlight bulbs, tires, fluids, and brakes twice. The 5.4 is a real workhorse and still purs with 211k. Toyota? my tacoma had a new tranny put in at 120k and 195k.. This is far more comfortable. I strongly recommend the Ford F series truck. My next vehicle will be American.

  My first Ford - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Steve - February 26 - 5:33 pm

  Ive been a Mercedes-Benz and Honda guy for more than 10 years, but I was in the market for a low budget full-size pickup truck. The leasing incentives offered by Ford drew me into the dealership, but in the end Im also thrilled with the product. Its incredibly comfortable, quiet and easy to drive. Whats more, I was surprised with the fuel economy, as I logged 17.2 mpg on only the second tank of driving. I wouldnt put much faith in other Ford products, but its pretty obvious the F-150 is the companys crown jewel, and I will consider another when this lease ends.

  Beautiful Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Charlie Stewart - January 24 - 6:33 pm

  I knew I wanted this truck before I left the dealers lot. The ride is unmatched. I bought a 2001 Toyota Tundra and thought it couldnt get any better. This truck says it can.

  Overall a solid truck.... - 2005 Ford F-150
  By youngstr - January 16 - 10:06 am

  Im at 2800 miles and so far so good. No build/quality problems at all. Very comfortable ride, quiet cabin. Rear end gets "bouncy" and sometimes feels unstable over rough roads/broken pavement, otherwise the ride is good. Engine is solid and smooth. Limited interior storage with audiophile system. Ford should be embarrassed with these dinky floor mats on a truck. The captains chairs are comfortable but I wish they had more lateral support.

  Great Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Paul - January 9 - 2:53 pm

  Ive owned several pickups before this one and the 2005 F-150 is the best pickup Ive owned. Interior comfort and noise level is outstanding. The build quality is excellent.

  Built tough - 2005 Ford F-150
  By cds924 - December 6 - 10:00 pm

  Only problem I had was a few weeks ago at 44000 miles my electronic throttle control went bad. Recall replaced bad fuel injectors, funny ever since they did that the truck flies, very noticeable power change. Other than that its great very smooth on road. On trip from Ohio to Texas received 25+ using cruise control on highway.

  Best truck ever - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Jeffrey Scott - December 6 - 2:13 am

  I never thought someone would build a truck that rides as well as most cars while not giving up the "toughness" a truck needs. My new F-150 Lariat is not only a great looking vehicle; it gives you the best of both worlds with truck tough reliability and comfort that is as good or better than most cars!

  2005 SuperCrew - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Scott - December 3 - 12:13 pm

  Ive owned a lot of trucks over the years and this is by far the best all around truck Ive ever owned. The interior is top notch quality that rivals my wifes luxury SUV (I wont mention what brand, but its a direct competitor). The 5.4 Triton offers the power I need, yet still gets very respectable gas mileage. Trucks Ive owned in the past have always been weekend warriors, but this truck is my everyday driver, just because its so much fun to drive. Its handling characteristics are very well mannered for a truck. This is my second Ford in 7 years and I havent had any problems in 7 years. I will probably be a Ford owner for a long time to come.

  F-150 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By sabepero - November 15 - 1:23 pm

  I love almost everything about the truck. The only thing I wish for is better fuel mileage. The truck ride great. I use it for hunting, the off road features is the best I have ever used. I think Ford has the best looking truck there is. Power is pretty good. I use it to pull a trailer and it can do it no problem. This truck rocks

  Great Truck -- My first Ford Product - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Steve - November 10 - 6:36 pm

  Ford has finally built the best truck on the market, period. This truck was built for people who drive trucks. The details in the design are great. It rides like a car, drives like my luxury car, and is made like a tank. The only competitor was the Tundra, but it doesnt come close to the quality of this vehicle. The Super Crew has tons of room with the 4 doors. The Triton/5.4L is horse. The LineX bedliner is a must. Great add-on. Ill check back in 10 years when Ive put 200,000 miles on it. Awesome job, Ford.
