Does anyone have any regrets about the choice they made in buying their truck? By choices I am referring to options (then again if you regret buying the truck period then you can post that too, but if you hate your truck you probably don;t post here anyways.)

I regret not getting the 5.5' bed (I have the standard 6.5') on my supercab and I regret getting the regular chrome bumper without the fog lights.

 

I got about every damn option you could get on an XLT, so no regrets there. My only regret is not getting a Supercrew. I carry people alot more than I do cargo, so the four full doors would fit my life better than the suicide doors on the Scab.

 

The only regret I have so far (not with a factory option but a aftermarket mod) is going with 24s instead of 26s....I might sell the 24s and get a set with my income tax refund!

 

I wish I had gotten the bigger gas tank. Other than that, I ordered everything I wanted.

 

I thought the 5.4 got almost as good mpg anyways....The sticker from Ford says the same numbers for both engines.

 

I have the 5.4 and the first week i had the truck i calculated the mileage and got a little over 16. Couldn't believe it so i did it twice more and sure enough Im averaging about 16 MPG and i drive fast but use the cruise control. ( half around town and half on the highway) So go with the bigger engine it doesnt sound like its going to suck any more gas than the 4.6. I only wish the factory tires were bigger. I dont want to just throw them away but damn they are tiny.

 

I have a 5.4L with 3.55s (and 24in tires and wheels) and I am averaging 14.5 MPG. Before the tires and wheels I was getting 15.6 MPG. Both are with an equal amount of highway and in town driving. I drove to Atlanta last Tuesday (350 miles round trip) and got 16.4 MPG running 75-80 MPH on I-75.

 

Absolutely, tee-totally no regrets. I love this truck!

I guess I do regret having not purchased a tuner yet... that will change soon though!

No regrets here, truck was factory ordered loaded excluding running boards. Man those factory ones are so U G L Y !!!
Later Trev

 

Wished I had gotten a 5.4L. That is my only regret now. OH...and one of those free suckers he had on his desk. Those things are yummy!!

 

I wanted black on black, i was told the darkest interior was charcoal. Needless to say, its silver, not black.

Other then that, I love the truck, I want the driveshaft dampner thing off an 05 though.

 

I regret that I can't afford an 05 FX4, either supercab or supercrew, for personal use, in addition to my 04 XL regular cab, long bed, that I bought for work! My wife and I need a new SUV, ours is getting up there in milage, and it just doesn't have enough room, now that we have a baby. I'm trying to convince her to get an 05 FX4, and we'll put a shell on it to store the baby's gear, but she's not having any of that! LOL

 

No regrets whatsoever. This is the nicest truck I have ever owned by far. I’ve had it since 10-24-03 and it’s been trouble free.

 

My 5.4 w/3.73 4X4 always gets between 14 and 15 in normal short runs and gets in the upper teens on the highway. It does better than my cousin's 4.6.

 

no regrets here either........love the ride,look, and the quietness...other than a replacement of the rear axle assembly for a "whine" sound no troubles atall....cant wait till i get enough $$ for the leveling kit and 33'' tires/new wheels.....and maybe a bull bar too...
