Bullet Proof Truck
Yes they are very reliable. I have 159,000 miles on my 2001 5.4 supercrew. The battery even lasted 7 years. I've put shocks and tires and thats about it. The thing is bullet proof. One of the best vehicles i've ever owned. Just purchased a new 2008 F250 SD 6.4 diesel and so far so good. Oh and by the way, drive a GM truck with that many miles and try to count all the rattles they have. My truck is still rattle free. Some of my buddies have GM's and they all tell me how vault like the Fords are. Don't get me wrong there not bad trucks but don't seem to be near as solid as mine anyway.

My mom has an 05 H2 and it has the loudest rattling/plastic crunching interior i've ever heard. My dad has an 03 2500 Duramax and its also got some rattles. But my 01 f150 with 167,XXX is rattle free

I had a 2000 with the 4.6 that I drove from Nov. 99 to Nov. 2005 and put over 96k on it. The truck was very reliable no major issue with it just the normal maintance of oil changes and so on.
