Does Anyone Regret buying their F150

Well hopefully this falls underneath this category. Anyways my question for yall is do any of yalll regret buying your F150. After the cruise control issue, vct cam pashers, broken 2 piece spark plugs , under powerd 5.4 liters, power window issues etc. What I am asking is if you didnt have your f150 what would you be in? exclude(lambos ferris porsches mustangs camaros etc) Truck wise. I guess this mainly applys to the 03-05 owners. I hear the 07 and up are a Much bigger step up. Just lay it all out there for me.

No regrets here. I haven't had any issues at all with my 06 yet.

Only because I wish I would have bought a F-250. As far as if I were still in the market for a half ton truck, no way. Ford makes the best on the road.

Never! I love my F150, and I love all my Fords (Mustang, Mountaineer, & F150), I will never own anything else.

i second 4.6 Punishers statement. i wish i had more power but our 01 5.4 had a lot of problems once it got to the 200,000 plus, even with all new plugs, coil packs, and few other small stuff. but the 08 5.4 is holding strong so far. lol i love my truck though and since my dad who has past on bought it for me, im keeping till its no longer driveable then parking it. lol theres a lot of sentimental value behind mine..

Nope not at all. I love mine even if it means I'm broke for 5 years Has enough power, rides like a car, looks good and has a lot of room inside. I've had a few issues with it but nothing out of normal wear and tear. It needed a rear axle seal when I got it and I got that fixed. It needs a lower ball joint on the passenger side but I just picked up upper and lower Moog ball joints today and going to do it tomorrow.

I am however not looking forward to getting the plugs changed. I have 114,000 miles on it now.

I regret buying mine in 08 not 05 or sooner. The amount of worry and hassle driving a worn out truck worrying about it breaking or whatever sucks. I upgraded to a new 08screw from a 93 180k jeep cherokee. Not a comparision other then I shouldn't have been driving a 93 anything with 170k as my main vehicle.

I do kind of wish I could have had a 3.5eco but I like the 08 body style and radio layout more then the current version and might look to buy again when they body changes in like 2013.
