Right now my truck has almost 300,000 miles and I can't say enough good things about it. It has held up so well in basically every aspect. Truck definetly does not drive like a high mileage vehicle. I got the truck with a blown up motor and it still drove! Even with a blown motor! Put rebuilt motor in now truck is amazing. Best vehicle I've ever driven in super deep snow. It will not get stuck, even when I try getting it stuck. I towed with this truck like a dream and it's great. Even trailerling with deep snow is easy. Truck has never broke down on me or previous owner. Love it!

this truck is fords f150 11 generation, full box frame huge hd shocks mounted on outside the springs, 5.4 3 valve engine 300 hrs power , [not 281 like the 03 365 pounds of tourq] i had an 07 lincoln mark lt but still own my old ford, they drove the same,the chevy 5.3 has smoother power and better milage,i have an 2011 with 145,655 miles i bought new, i keep the fprd because the undercarage is the same as the 2017, and my truck dose not have 1 SPOT OF RUST, I SPRAY EVERYTING UNDERNEITH AND ENGINE ALL HINGIS WITH REMINGTON GUN OIL , NOT A SINGLE RUST SPOT ON FRONT AXLES -REAR END- SPRINGS, GAS STRAPS, TRANNY COVER -OIL PAN, DOOR HANDLES ,THE ENGINE IS SHOWROOM, and the for has the best half ton breaks. I drove a 2017 f 250 4x4 all aluminum that truck was all over the road, to high way too light, the wind blows all over the place, ford will be sorry, [but I'm picky] all the half tons lookgreat,dodge ram-chevy-gmc-ford-Nissan -Toyota, the consumer has great choices, I don't like v-6 turbo gas motor,

I love this truck, and with some personnal touches, its looking GOOD!! Surpisingly, I get about 17-18 mpg (city), and 19 to 20(hwy). My best was 21 mpg on the hwy, not bad. Only problem I had so far was a bad window motor, at $300 plus labor.. Other then that this truck has been too sweet.

04 f150 5.4 i love the looks of this truck. i love the drive and comfort of this truck, unfortunately i will probably never ever buy a ford again. This truck will cost you a fortune to keep\. first of all everything on this motor will tick or clack at some point. the cam phasers will without a doubt cost you 1800 to fix once or twice. Thank heavens they are 100000 mile spark plugs because they will cost you a min. of 800 to change. Ford will not even think about helping you with all the ticking until your factory or aftermarket warranty runs out.This was my fourth and last ford.

I bought my first Ford Truck in 1990 and have owned nothing but Fords since then but I am about to try another brand after this 2004 F-150. One of the over the plug coil melted down - twice. The second time leaving me stranded on vacation. THe dealer in Redding CA stuck it to me on the price of repair. The rear axle seal started leaking. Replaced both axles as they had a ring worn around them by the seals. 30K mi. later same thing and had to replace axle and seal. Leaked again, back to dealer 3 times. Still leaks and they say I need whole new rearend. Still driving it but going to sell and buy a 2013 RAM.
