  Excellent Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Carm - November 5 - 12:00 am

  Very nice truck, well designed. New front end. Like the design from the side view. Very roomy inside, enough for six people. Nice ride. Handles the road real well. I have full power seats, windows locks, power mirrors, and even a power rear sliding window, signals in the mirrors, 4.6 motor. Gas mileage could be a little better, I guess, for this size truck. 13 mpg. city and about 17.5 mpg on highway.

  Lariat F150 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Bob - October 20 - 5:23 am

  I wanted an upgrade from the 1995 basic F150 I traded in. I feel good riding in it, looking at it, washing it and getting numerous complements. I plan on keeping this one longer then the previous truck.

  Beautiful Ford Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Cary Ling - October 9 - 12:11 pm

  I bought this truck on one of those love at first sight programs.It has been a great truck and runs and drives excellent. I got the 7 year extended warranty just in case. I still have five years left. I received a notice for a 10 year extended warranty on the fuel injectors but have had no problems at all. I have limited slip and it pulls my boats with ease. It is a powerful engine, (5.4) and feels like the muscle cars of old. I also have and use the back up safety sensors constantly. Gas mileage is not too bad 18-25 on average. I have two six bangers that cant get near what I get with that big V8. The suicide doors on the super cab are great and it looks so good rather then a four door.

  Ford Tough - 2005 Ford F-150

  Although we havent owned our truck very long, were sure it will more than serve our needs and satisfy us with all Ford has to offer.

  What a great truck! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By James - July 7 - 12:56 pm

  I had my choice of vehicles to pick from for my company vehicle, so a lot of people raised their eyebrows when I pulled into the office lot with a fully decked out F-150 Lariat ... until they looked at the interior. The clients I entertain always comment on the interior. This truck is quiet and smooth. At nearly 19,000 miles, the truck has been flawless with no rattles or other annoying problems to contend with. I looked at everything, foreign and domestic, and I cannot imagine finding a better built vehicle.

  This is a hauler, not a race car - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Zoomie - July 2 - 12:33 am

  This is a good truck. Ive had it six months and only one issue with a shock leaking when I first bought it. Dealer fixed promptly. Tows 8700 lbs! This is a bear in parking lots, a big, burly, beast. Comfortable cruiser that will take you anywhere, but not 0-60 in 3 secs. 4WD worked well in the snow, but I do wish Ford would invest in some additions like DRLs, auto 4WD, side airbags, satellite radio. Dont get me wrong, I love this truck, but I have to acknowledge its shortcomings. I LOVE the motor, I can go anywhere and really appreciate the 4WD and I can hook up the trailer (~7k lbs) and it will accelerate uphill! But I think the shorter wheelbase contributes to a slight rocking.

  Love my truck! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Kat L. - June 1 - 9:56 am

  Had to get a new truck that fit the teens, pulled a trailer, fit the dogs, was comfortable and a good looking work horse. This truck fit the bill and I just love it. Gas mileage is better than I expected; Ive averaged 18 in town and up to 25 over the road, and it spends a lot of time on the road. It pulls very well and has no trouble with the hills. Its driver AND passenger friendly.

  Still flying in my FX4 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By j.m. - May 29 - 7:44 am

  Well its still going strong for me. Thanks to trailering about 8000lbs worth of horses from Jersey to Ohio, Virginia, etc. I now have close to 70,000 miles on it. I also pull my 66 Mustang to shows with it. What can I say, still in love. So much my other half bought an 08 Super Crew with the long bed. Mine is still squeek and rattle free. That suspension does it all, rides great, handles great, and hauls and tows like a beast. Sure, New Tundra is fast, but it is a tin can. Come on, "triple tech frame? What is that? The Fords fully boxed frame from stem to stern rocks. The 5.4L does not really get bogged down when hauling or towing. Best truck ever!

  Awesome Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Andy - May 28 - 2:50 pm

  The looks and ride are second to none. I drove the Tacoma, and the Silverado before I bought this one. Just cant say enough great things about this truck. I get compliments from neighbors and coworkers. The interior is laid out nicely, with very user friendly controls. I almost look forward to going to work just so I can drive it there.
