05 F150XL work truck package

It has the best ride of any previous Ford trucks. The frame is stiff enough to cancel out the pothole vibrations that usually shake the beds of most trucks. The V6 isn't fast, but it hauls well with the 8ft bed full of gravel. If you drive with the torque instead of revving up, it returns about 20 mpg. Dead reliable for over 30k miles now.

I have the xl v-6 with the work truck pkg. Very nice truck to be basic.It gets better gas milage than my 96 Explorer Sport w/v-6 and 5-speed. I am very impressed with the smooth ride and handleing. The xtra room behind the seats is great. After driving this truck I don't think I could ever drive the other regular cabs.The truck looks good, and because it's an XL it's easy to keep the interior clean. No carpet to get stained.

The 2005 Ford XL V6 is now our Friday night date vehicle. It rides better than the Toyota or Honda cars we have. I love the design and the color. The truck is getting 21 MPG on 2 lane highways at 55 MPH. The gas mileage on the interstate at 70 mph is about 18.5. I am pleased with the truck and I rate it higher than the GMC I traded in.

Bought truck new had it since took truck on a short trip and started knocking didn’t effect power or any thing got home took it to ford spent 3 grand on it was told it was timing chain. After 10 days said motors bad and needs to be replaced so 3 grand nothing fix . So truck has 96000 mile all mainenced done oil changes on time and all fords recomdation. Bottom line ford didn’t fix truck or back up anything they said said it would be another 8 to 10 grand to replace. Always been a ford guy no longer they left me out on a limb and got 3 grand and did nothing to fix truck very disappointed in ford by the time they where done I could have been out 13000 dollars

This is the best all around truck I have ever driven or owned. The suspension of the truck is great. Fully loaded with tools you cannot even feel it.The ride is still smooth. Put it this way, I love my truck!
