  Glad its only a lease - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Rick Casorio - July 7 - 11:23 pm

  One more year to go on the lease then Im done with Ford. Never get the 4.6L V8, way underpowered. Never buy one with the General Tires, noisiest tire on the planet. Hope you can overcome the electronic throttle lag when you push the gas. Hope you dont buy one like I did that the transmission fried at 12,000k because some seal blew connecting the transmission to the transfer case. Ford doesnt put "new" transmissions in anymore, just rebuilts. And this rebuilt one has been serviced 2 times already and it still doesnt run right. Expect 12mpg in the winter and 15mpg in the summer. Only owned 2 Fords in my lifetime and both have been a disappointment. This is it! Pity too because I get the Ford Discount.

  Great Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Teresa24j - June 17 - 6:00 am

  I love the look of the interior and exterior of this truck. It has a lot of room and convenience features. This is make my second F-150 which I still own, and they are really good dependable trucks. It really rides very smooth to be a 4X4. I would definitely purchase another.

  My Experience - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Larry Lewis - June 12 - 8:46 am

  I am very happy with not only the comfort, but also with the noise level in the cab. It is quiet. I have the large engine which gives me plenty of power and not too bad of gas mileage. Only thing I wish now I had gotten the leather seats.

  M.J. 2004 Lariat review - 2005 Ford F-150
  By majenkins - May 18 - 2:40 am

  Simply stated this is the best truck on the market, bar none. The new interior design is truly outstanding. The 2004 F150 Lariat is a great truck to drive.

  By Frank - May 16 - 2:33 pm

  This truck is fun to drive. Everything is there at your fingertips! You get in it and you get that feeling of comfort and feeling good about yourself. You say "Its mine, all mine."

  Better Than My 2001 - 2005 Ford F-150
  By H. C. Schmitt - May 16 - 4:00 am

  We decided to replace our old truck with the newer version. Wow, this thing is really neat. As a pilot, I know what a vehicle should do, and this one does what it says, including towing our Rinker Cabin Cruiser which weighs almost 10,000 lbs. It is very comfortable and rides better than most cars Ive been in. What can I say, it is awesome!

  2004 F150 Super Crew - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Herman - April 30 - 8:16 am

  Have 16,000 miles currently with brake problems. At approximately 8,000 miles in for service and required rotors to be turned on front. Now having same problems with bouncing when braking. Will have evaluated soon at Ford dealer. This truck is too new to have rotor/brake problems. Also had rear bumper repair due to rear end collision. Bumper flange on frame was cracked and dealer suggested replacing frame at $5900.00 for relatively minor damage. Reason being the metal the frame is made of cannot be welded on. May be a great frame, not sure about metal composition. Seems that the cost to insure will be passed on to the driver as more of these frames have to be replaced.

  Love that Ford Truck - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Ford Lover - April 16 - 3:40 pm

  Really a nice truck. I love the Castano leather interior and the King Ranch appointments. Very quiet and smooth ride. Has good power. Really, this truck is quieter riding than many luxury cars!

  Just crazy about FORDS! - 2005 Ford F-150
  By Peter B - April 11 - 9:36 pm

  I have owned 6 F150s and this 2004 FX version is by far the best of all. Very quiet on the road; plenty of power for passing and superb ride comfort. This is basically a tow vehicle for hauling my 4000 lb. boat with the greatest of ease. The truck has a 3:55 rear axle for decent fuel economy and a 8300 lb. tow capacity. Only 4,000 miles on the truck so far and not one problem. I highly recommend this truck to anyone seeking a fantastic piece of American engineering.
