2004 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

As a 16 year old I was out driving around with some friends, excited as ever because I had just got my drivers license 2 weeks ago and still trying to impress my friends with this beast of a machine F-150 that I had inherited from my father and learned how to drive in. In my immatureness and stupidity I was speeding way too fast on a county road and had to make a sudden turn at high speed, I had jerked the wheel to stay on the road and lost traction in the back wheels. Next thing I know I am rolling around and around, kept in place by the seatbelt, It felt like the scariest, heart pounding roller coaster I had ever been on. After the rolling stopped and the truck had settled on its wheels, I looked around to make sure everything was ok with my friends, who were in a bit of shock, but ok and unharmed because of their seatbelt. The truck was totalled as you would expect, but the cab roof had held together and did not let itself cave in on our heads while we rolled. The crash was absolutely brutal and I do not think Ford would have tested a roll at 65 MPH, regardless the truck is absolutely built Ford tough, and if it had not been I may not have been here to write this review and tell people that it is in my mind the safest most dependable, reliable, and best truck on the market today. I will absolutely purchase another win the future and I would defiantly recommend this truck to anyone, whether it be a work truck or a daily driver, this truck will not fail you.

Got my 2004 Ford F150 my Sophmore year of high school (2008). Still running good now! Only issues I had with this vehicle was the transmission, and CAM sensors (factory issue). Timing always seems to be off, and you constantly hear a clicking sound from the engine. Replaced the transmission. Exhaust system corroded and needed replaced. Went from 70k miles to 230k miles.

wished i had another just like it,only a newer one.this truck been there for me an has served it's purpose.

Had a great run with it. Somebody totaled it at 160k miles and would have kept on going! Had a few minor issues alon the way but great truck.

This is what we named our 2016 F150 Lariat because she is practically perfect in every way. We have the 2.7 eco boost which had more than ample power for our purposes of commuting, light towing, and snow driving. Bought this over a Ram because of blind spot warning, and the aluminum body - plus better crash test results. Love the solid feeling of the doors when you shut them. overall feel of truck is much more solid than the others I considered prior to purchase. front seats are very comfortable. Only complaint was upholstery in the rear seats. The leather is already stretched out and bumpy looking with 2 child passengers - no car seats. Seems like the upholstery is rolling towards front of seats as I can see more of the carpeting from the underside of seat creepy up from the back. Very quiet ride. Not as soft as the RAM, but it feels more truck like, and secure, not floaty. Sync 3 is great. I love that in Nav you can just type in an entire address and go. not the finicky fields to fill out..city, state, street name, etc. This is a big time saver. Love the giant console space. Added a sectioned divider that fits inside and made the space even better...like a vending machine at my fingertips with car snacks, first aid, note pads, etc all in their own cubby. Only 15000 miles, but no mechanical issues. I have owned many Fords and have always had great reliability even up to 200,000 miles. My only other issue was a complaint from the kids. They wished the truck had tri zone climate control, and better vents. They thought it was stuffy in the back seat and did not find the rear air vents useful for aiming ventilation their way. Truck had overhead pano roof, so no sure what they could do differently here with no way to mount ceiling vents. I can not find any other truck that does it differently. So only 2 issues are both with the back seat in the super crew. Other than that, flat load floor, and ease of stowing back seats is perfect. May be adding another truck this fall, and will get another F150.

Overall it's a decent truck, like all Ford's it have alot of minor repairs as just about everything will wear out and break way faster than it's competitors vehicles. However when it's working you'll love it. Because of it's rear gears you'll swear the truck is gutless but it really not. It's not meant to go fast or hotrod around, it's a truck and designed to be able to haul heavy loads and it does that just fine.

Its have a extra space to Put other battery on it like if you whant to6 use for plowing snow it's very nice

The vehicle did the job it was made for, enough power and torque. Ford is more reliable than other brands, is why my first option was F150 over Ram or Silverado/Sierra.

Above average capacity know I have carried excess of capacity and handled well. Other than wear items(brakes, battery, bulbs) did not have do any repairs. Had close to 100,000 miles when I sold it.

Clean interior. Runs incredibly well. 4x4 works great. Plenty of room for the entire family. The center console provides plenty of storage and it came with a spray in bed liner.
