one of the worst experiences iv'e ever had!!!!

Do not deal with these people, they give you the runaround, and when you make a appointment, from 2 hours away, they tell you the day before another salesman sold the truck you already made a deal for. So it was not the truck, it was the sales manager!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

No more Ford's for me

Please do not purchase this vehicle. 7 out of 8 plugs broke first tune up. Alternator went out at 60,000...cam phaser issues continual misfires. Broke valve springs...all before 100,000. Well maintained. Ford knows about the cam phasers and also the poor plug issue. Many shops will not work on the 04 to 08 F150 because of all the problems.

TOUGH truck BUT....

When it was time for a tune up the dealer told me $800-$1000 because the plugs break off in the block and need to be drilled out, no guarantee that they wont have to replace the motor.$5000.00 for a new motor. NOT A WARRANTY OR RECALL PROBLEM. hmmm....cant tune up an engine?

Great Truck.

This vehicle is amazing for long distance hauling. You have great handling with trailers. It is also the safest vehicle for the cargo you can not replace. (Children and family) If you are looking for a great vehicle look no further..

Best Value F150

I looked for a used pickup truck for utility for about 3 months. The best value I could find was the Ford F150. For whatever reason, supply maybe, F150 was less expensive than GM or Chrystler. When you buy a car online, make sure you set aside enough cash for repairs. Let's face it, the reason used cars are for sale is because someone is unloading a problem. So, as long as you know that and put aside some cash for repairs, you wont be disappointed with your new ride. So, found the pickup with a low price "as is". I checked out the truck and decided to buy it. It was 2005 model and got it for under 6k. So, must be something wrong right? Yeah, there was. The rear differential seal and bearing needed to be replaced. That's an expensive job and that's why the price was what it was. Anyway, after the repair and new tires for an additional 1k, I have a truck that's well worth the money under 7k.
