Update 20210729 161k on the truck and still no issues… runs like a champ and needs only exhaust work done to patch holes rusting into the system UPDATE 20210116 158k on this ole boy and only general Mx completed since last review. This includes rear diff oil swap, coolant flush and brake change. Still purrs like a kitten and have used and abused this truck daily with no hesitation from the vehicle at all and would highly reccomend if you intend to bulletproof the block and keep up on Mx. Purchased this truck in Dec. 2018 with 146k on it. when purchased cam phasers were already going out and dealer replaced free of charge. after a snowstorm noticed 4wd was also out. dealer went 1/2 on the fix and we also purchased a remote start. After fixes, this thing runs really smooth and has plenty of towing abilities and cargo space to suit our family needs. This truck is an FX4 but also has a 2in lift, and Air Lift suspension, cold air intake and straight-piped exhaust with a few other features someone took the time to install on the truck from the factory. Once we finally had it home went through and did a small tune-up (plugs, belts, synthetic oil) to it and it runs way better. I intend to go through more in-depth once it warms up and swap all the fluids. Gas mileage is what's to be expected of a vehicle of this type and it has enough pickup to feel adequate and features to match. Offroad capabilities are really good with oversized wheels and tires and a 4wd system that works. Would recommend if you plan on having the phasers replaced and take care of it! Update Have had this for over a year and put next to no miles on it. Has started reliably every time though and driven in some nasty conditions without getting stuck or showing signs of giving out. Has been a great home depot runner for building materials and towing. Only thing I have notice is the rasio may be going out. Common for a vehicle of this age and intend on replacing it.

Little issues, Great truck

I have had this truck since January 08. The power is deceiving. I hauled my 600 pound bike from Texas to Wyoming without ever feeling the weight. The truck just towed away. The little issues I have are the wiper cowel coming off for the 5th time, shake in the steering wheel above 50mph, rattle in the dash, and a strange vibration that happens sporadically. Had all of these issues addressed at the dealer. They continue to irritate me. For such a great driving truck, Ford should really adress these issues. It is my understanding that these are fixed for the new 2009 model.

This is a great looking truck, the best I think. That is the main reason I bought the FX4. The interior is great, has so much room in there I compare it to an SUV. Fuel economy cold be much better, and it is costly to drive these days, but as a owner of a single cab 02 V6 F150, then upgrading to this 5.4 V8, I can see that Ford did get better in its fuel economy, but hey, if you drive such a big truck, you better expect the gas to be high. I have noticed some things that i dont like about it, but all Fords at all dealerships had the problems, one being they roll back on a slope, the other being the steering wheel shakes a bit too much for my liking at speeds of about 70mph.
2nd F-150 4x4 and very pleased

I have a 1998 F-150 4x4 off-road XLT that has over 200,000 miles on it. Considering the only non-preventive maint. I've ever done was an alternator change, I bought a new 08 FX4. It has every option except for sunroof (much fancier than my older one). I am very impressed with this new truck. I hear some complaints on power, but I feel like the truck has great power and excellent throttle response. The interior is very nice and extremely comfy. My favorite thing is that it is super quiet, even with the 20" wheels, I am amazed at the lack of road noise. These are the only two F-150s I've ever had, but based on my old one and how it's performed over 11 yrs and this new one, I'll continue to buy
