How is your F-150 holding up? My 05 XL 4.6 4x4 has not had one issue since I took the keys a few months back. ( 45,000 KM ) My 04 F-150 5.4 barley lasted threw my two year lease, and the 02 F-150 I had before was all bad.

I'm troubled that a used and abused work truck performs better than any hew Ford truck I have owned.

Has Ford turned a page for the better?

 

my 05 fx4 is running great 24,600 miles on a 5.18.2005 delivery
only problem was a mfr. defective rear slider that i had replaced in June.
love my truck- wouldn't have it any other way

 

My '04 XL 5.4 has lasted 39,000 miles and not one problem. Perfect condition. It runs better than the day I drove it off the dealership lot.

 

25k'ish on the ticker... zero problems. One tiny annoying rattle in the back near the slider...

 

hey rp- thats the mfr defect...

 

I did not know you were throwing and leasing "barley." LOL.

BARELY lasted THROUGH, not threw....

 

With 8k on the clock, mine is great!

Ford's need to be worked and abused once in a while. Even though the only abuse mine gets is the occasional 5500lb travel trailer hooked behind it.

Does this mean you are changing your anti-Ford stance as of late?

 

04 20K Miles

its in the shop right now getting a new engine and should be ready by tommorow

hope there isnt anythign else wrong with it after i get it back

 

43k miles and only problem is a rat chewed through an injector wire

only problem i had with my 00 150 was it spit out a spark plug

 

2001: 83k and went thru 7 coil packs.

2003: 87k: Never back to the dealer. Brakes for the first time at 55K.

2005: 32K: New brakes at 25k, new tires at 500 miles, Ain't going to say anything else....might start a jinx

Woof

about 70,000 miles and my truck is not running completely smooth for what I put into it, the engine is a bit rattled, the 2 remaining cats are going out, rear diff is leaking, etc. I just recieved the gasket so I'll be replacing when I can find some RP synth for the rear diff. What weight do our diffs take?

 

18K miles on my 04 and havent had any problems in ahwile

 

I just did mine and filled it back up with Mobil 1 75-140W. Owner's manual says to use synthetic 75-140W.

 

Engine whines every time you step on the gas, rattles all over the place. Mechanically it runs fine, but the noises are driving me insane, taking it back in didn't help. Just gonna trade to an '09 soon as they are available so I can actually hear myself think again while I drive, just like my perfect zero-problems '98 F-150 from Day 1. Let's pray this model was just a test junker in between the '97 model and the '09 model.

 

2004 29k miles: has gone in for butyl pad recall and a leaking third brake light. Right now the widshield is leaking, but that is because when i had it replaced they didn't seal right. Other than that no other problems.

Dads 05 26k miles: had a cracked pad but that was it. Oh and a broken driveshaft. (Dont get stuck on rocks) Other than that no other problems.

Dads Previous 2001 F150: 125k+ mi the alternator just went out at 125k and the battery was replaced at 120k. Still being used as a work truck but now by employees. Though it is a little tired.

There are many more fords in the fleet of vehicles we have, but id be writing for a while.
