I bought mt 2008 F-150 in January 2009 when gas prices were sooo high and people weren't buying trucks. I paid $12,995 for it; and they gave me $3000 for my 2001 Dodge Ram trade-in that had a bad trans. I was pretty happy about the deal. I've now owned the truck for 11 years and the only thing I've had to do was replace the front brakes at 75K and replace the tires. That seems too soon for a brake job, but I'm not complaining. My biggest complaint about this truck is the rough ride. It'll rattle your bones on any degree of rough road. I always keep a full tanks of gas just to ad weight. The weight of a full tank seems to help the rough ride. But the new Bridgestone tires are far worse than the original Michelin's. I recommend staying with the original tires when new tires are needed. Also there is a click, or tick, that I recently noticed when just idling. I think a drive belt may need replacing. Bottom line is This has been a great truck. Absolutely reliable. I have 86K miles on it after 11 years and expect this truck will outlast me. My truck and my wife's Toyota Corolla are probably the last vehicles we will ever have to buy.
Outstanding!

I wanted a truck to haul building materials over long distances and looks good while doing it. That's this truck, and I love it. I added some chrome wheels and accessories, and still kept the pricetag under $26k. Fuel economy is great, I took a 500 mi. trip, and rolled into my destination with 1/8 of a tank of fuel left, and this was with a 1000# load up and down mountainsides! Great truck! Thanks FoMoCo!

I have the XL with the XL decor group and auto transmission, limited slip rear end and sliding rear glass. This is the perfect base truck. It is well built and designed, and rides like a cadillac. Gas mileage in town has been as high as 19 which is as good as the Hyundai Accent I replaced was getting. The 10% ethanol blends have not negatively affected mileage like it seems to do with other engines. (straight gas is not available in my state) Plenty of power for a V6. Visibilty is great. The standard features and built in quality are well thought out for a truck
Great Buy!

Searched the competition and found nobody else offers a no frills v-6 for under 25k. Before trade purchase price was 11,200. I use it as a truck and couldn't justify 35k for a glorified sedan with a bed attached. have the 3.55 rear with towing package. Installed 06 mustang mach 500 stereo with 6 disc in dash and Sirius. Chrome bumpers were there as truck was an order that was canceled. I am thoroughly happy with my purchase after doing research and finding the 4.2 to be the most problem free motor for the complete run of the new body style 04-08 a feat that has never been achieved by anyone else.. Adding items to dress up as i want is still cheaper than a higher level model
I thought it would be better

Bought the truck new. Have not had any actual "problems". The truck drives just fine. Seems like when you go over a bump the bed "moves" no noise and everything feels tight, but you can see movement. On a windy day I have to fight to get to 70 MPH. Feels liks something is pushing against me. Truck feels underpowered. Has a slight rough isle at stoplights. Dealer says it's normal, Ford has "leaned out" the motor at idle for imissions regulations. I wish I had bought the V-8. 4300 miles now. Really wish it had more power. My 1997 S-10 had more power.
