  • 2006 F-150 Review - 2006 Ford F-150
    By -

    My experience with my F-150 was the worst experiance I have ever had with a vehicle. The build quality was extremely poor. Within the first 6 months all fuel injectors had to be replaced. The stitching on the front seats came apart not once but twice! The headliner came apart. The outside mirror fell off as I was driving. My exp. with the dealership regarding these issues was also poor. It will be the last Ford vehicle I ever have!

    My only other consideration was a Nissan Titan. I found the Ford to be much more what I liked in the end.The F150 just felt more like a truck and its bigger. The Titan is nice, but its almost over refined. I want a truck that feels and looks like a truck. The F150 is easy to add mods to and I liked that as well. Im glad I went back to American vehicle ownership. It makes me proud to drive it everyday.

  • Better than the Titan - 2006 Ford F-150

    Drives easy and smooth. Simple and easy to use controls. Just 1 rattle so far. I have owned both a Dodge and a Nissan Titan and this truck beats them both.

  • One Sharp Truck - 2006 Ford F-150

    I love this truck. Every time I pull into a gas station, it seems like the truck is like a magnet for compliments. One of the reasons I ride a Harley is for this same response, Lots of chrome on my Harley attracts attention like this truck brings on the "Wow" what a great looking truck. It drives well, has a great interior package, comfortable seats, with Harley logos throughout. The 22 inch wheels are an attention grabber, and moonroof is a great option. I like the AWD capability, and the fact they only build 10,000 of these makes ownership a plus. Not everyone has one, making them unique. Gas mileage of course could be better, but its a truck. All in all, Love this truck.

  • Horrible Seats - 2006 Ford F-150
    By -

    The F150 for me has the worst seat comfort out of any truck on the market bar none. I cant get comfortable no matter how hard I try and the seats are as hard as a rock. Other than the seats, the engine is severely underpowered (5.4) and the transmission is sluggish. I dont recommend this truck to anyone unless you want to be uncomfortable. The previous generation F150s were much better in my opinion.

  • So far, so good, but... - 2006 Ford F-150

    Very nice and comfortable truck. I love the formal exterior but it was the interior that eventually sold me. I have the tan leather and the flow-through console, and I love it! This truck drives very nice. The ride on the highway is firm, but not annoying, and despite this trucks large size, it is very manageable in town.

    Ive only had the vehicle for about 2 weeks but I have enjoyed driving it during this time. Ive used the four wheel drive and am very happy with its performance. The comfort factor is great. I dont regret my purchase one bit. This is my 3rd Ford truck and have put at least 160,000 miles on each of them and have practically no problems. I hope this one is as good as my previous purchases and the way it is looking it will be.

  • Expectations met! - 2006 Ford F-150
    By -

    Have been looking for a crew cab pickup for 6 months. Checked them all out, GMC, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan & Toyota. The F-150 was the best. It just drove so much nicer than any other plus was the best looking. The Lariat has all you need for bells and whistles. The Smoketown/Beige 2 tone exterior color is sweet! Only complaint would be the gas mileage. If you really baby it and coast to stop signs and such you can get 20mph but thats no fun.

  • Good, but could be the absolute best - 2006 Ford F-150
    By -

    This week I traded in my first F150, a one-owner 1994 green XL 4x4, for a new silver 2006 SLX 4x4. In other words, a slightly upgraded version of the same truck. The old truck had served me well for 12 years. It still had original parts except for the water pump and gas tank. Its last task was over Memorial Day weekend when I used it to yank 25 feet of corrugated steel drainage pipe, 2 diameter, out from a heavy clay pond embankment. Id like to have kept it another 2-5 years, but with 2 teenage drivers in the family, I wanted the improved safety engineering of the newer trucks.

  • Gone downhill - 2006 Ford F-150
    By -

    I bought this truck to replace my 2004 4.6L with the hoped of getting better fuel economy while towing. I have a 22 travel trailer that weighs about 6000 pounds when Im traveling. On a trip from Sarasota Fla, to Disney in Orlando, I managed 8.5MPG at 65MPH. The truck is really straining to go any faster than that. When I arrived, I had a pungent oder of overheated transmission. On the return trip, I slowed down to 60MPH and managed to get to 9.1MPG. On the way back the cruise control keeps disengaging itself after about a hundred miles. When I arrived, I checked the transmission fluid, and it smells burned. My dealer says there is nothing wrong.
