Rob's F-150 — Great Ride, this was the first truck that Ford revised after years, the 2004 Model Lariat Crew Cab 2x4 the most room in it's class. I have done a few modifications, but just for cosmetic reasons, and performance. Overall a great vehicle!

Love It! — You can't argue with the history and reputation of the F-Series trucks by Ford. I love the way the Fords look and I love they way they drive. My truck is easy to handle, has good power, and rides extremely smooth.

Reliable Truck — Good value truck for work or home. Rides high so you get a good view of things around you. Mileage is what you would expect from a full size truck. Only problem i have had with the truck is that the both power window motors went out and had to be replaced

Pros

Strong troublefree engine, cold start up, comfortable, heat/ac awesome, quiet interior, lotsa leg room for leggy family, looks sharp, handles very easily on turns, higher speeds and stop and go traffic, mpg costs better than fair for a truck & beats our Marquis,

Cons

Left view for passing clearance blind spot (cab frame), step side steps small, caution on outside body trim (noted trouble areas by dealer on warranty maintenance appts) easy fix tho, minor to even note but that's all I got for cons!

Awesome! — Performance wise the truck is got good power and can peel out no problem. The one problem that it does have is that common noise in the engine that everyone talks about. The exterior has a minor dent on the back but it looks really good. The interior is complete. It has 19mpg hwy and around 14 to 16 on the city. Maintenance-wise its cheap for me since I do most of the job. The truck is really fun to drive and it makes other people scared of you, they move out the way since they see a big truck.

Great For Doing Stuff. — The truck drives great, looks good, and great for weekend project. The truck gas mileage is not so good about 16 city and 21 on highway. It maybe a little less. Even with gas mileage I still love driving it.
