Overview & Reviews
Arriving in 2003 for the XLT supercab styleside configuration is the Heritage Edition, which includes 17-inch wheels, a chrome cab step and various stylistic flairs such as a black bedliner, a lower valance, paint striping and a paint scheme with a raised cut-line. Also new is an STX edition for the XL- and XLT-trimmed regular and supercabs that includes an MP3 player combined with a monochromatic color scheme and clear lights, among others. Upgrades for the fancy King Ranch flavor consist of fake wood for the interior, lighted step bars and an in-dash six-disc CD changer. For the Lariat, expect a standard rear window defroster and a Pioneer CD and cassette system (the latter is also newly available on the XL and XLT). Harley-Davidson models have the option of getting a two-tone black-and-silver paint. Finally, a new LATCH system helps you tie down the kiddie seats properly.
- Wide range of configurations and features, capable powertrains and suspension, attractive styling inside and out.
- Poor IIHS crash test result, everybody and his brother has one.

Best of three - 2003 Ford F-150
By Pat Cavanaugh - August 18 - 9:20 pmGet 20 mpg on the high way all the time. Use Motor Craft oil in all changes. Always starts, A/C is cold, comfortable for long trips. Companion can put seat down or a child can sleep on back bench. Tinted windows are what I would have installed in another vehicle. Just the right tint. No rattles.

Nice truck - 2003 Ford F-150
By mooseman - July 12 - 4:10 pmThis my first truck and I am sure glad its a Ford F-150. This has been 100% reliable and lives up to its built tough title. My truck will most likely be another Ford, if they can get the fuel efficiency up to that of the Toyota Tundra.

Love my King Ranch but... - 2003 Ford F-150
By TGP - May 29 - 10:07 amLove my King Ranch F150, no majar issues after 110K miles besides normal wear and tear with mechanical, brakes, etc. Interior leather is the best, will never own another truck besides Ford King Ranch! Only problem I had is rusting on the inside of lower door panels. Rust warranty would not cover that repair, dealer told me it had to be rsuted all the way through for warranty to cover which was upsetting to hear. I tried to repair myself but the rust along the inside edge keeps returning. I plan on buying a new 2009 King Ranch in a year, Ford builds a great truck!

Perfect Compromise - 2003 Ford F-150
By sakurama - May 27 - 2:00 amThis truck is wonderful. While I havent had it for much more than 3 months I can say its better than I expected and I had high expectations. I got the 5.4 Lariat FX4 and the power is fantastic, the offroad abilities are surprisingly good and the comfort is fantastic. The truck is quiet and solid.

king of the road - 2003 Ford F-150
By nathan25 - April 3 - 10:00 amI owned a silverado prior to buying this truck and the ford wins hands down. More room, comfort and capability makes up for what little difference there is in performance. My wife steals it at every possible opportunity.

Great Truck - 2003 Ford F-150
By autenb - April 1 - 10:41 pmThis truck is the most fun and practical vehicle Ive ever owned. Not only is it the fastest truck on the road, but it can also tow or haul nearly anything. Only drawback is lots of high octane fuel.

Have you Driven a Ford Lately? - 2003 Ford F-150
By 51natedogg - November 26 - 10:00 amThis truck is the best to come out of Detroit in a while!! Traded my 97 Nissan Hardbody for it as a graduation present to myself! What can i say, i havent had the truck long enough to report any problems, but so far im thrilled. I almost slept in it the first week. Comfortable and nicely designed interior, gobs of torque, adequate horsepower, capable 4 wheel drive, smooth ride (this is a truck?!?!) If you want a nice machine, then the F150 is for you!!

The best damn truck out there - 2003 Ford F-150
By Damon Rowe - September 7 - 2:00 amThis is a really fast beast. And it is fun to drive. I out run all kinds of stuff in this bad boy. Corvetts,camaros i even beat a mustang cobra. Buy this if you want 380 horses and 450 foot pounds of torque. Not to mentoin a 5.4 supercharged engine with a eaton blower and supercharger.

Simply the Best - 2003 Ford F-150
By Tigertetruena - July 27 - 2:00 amMy 2002 F-150 super-crew lariat is simply the best from its great looks to it excellent performance. The engine has an increadible power pulling a 6000 lbs horse trailer not including 5 horses. Ford is by far the best trucks out in the market. keep it up ford
