Just turned over 2000 miles on the odometer on my 04 Lariat Screw, 3.73 rearend, LT tires, class III, moonroof, center console, heated seats, black and tan.

Pros:
-Best riding truck period!
-Interior flows smoothly and the gauges are better than those found in Caddy's and Lincoln's.
-Exterior was perfectly done.
-Shifter on the floor provides a perfect resting point for my hand.
-5.4 l is strong and shifts very smoothly
-Overall this is an incredible vehicle.
-Moonroof and power rear window make it almost as good as a convertable

Cons:
-Mileage is a little disappointing. 15.5 mpg with most of the riding on interstates and rural hilly roads.
-Mileage computer is off by 5 to 8 tenths on the high side(just like our explorer)
-Change holder in the center console should be in the front of the console instead of on the side (awkward to reach)
-Safety latch for child seats stick up and should be on a swivel so you can put them behind the seat.
-No Automatic Daytime Running Lights even though I have the auto lamp package
- Dual zone heating would have been nice since my wife is always cold and I am always hot.
-Captains's chairs are not as comfortable as those in my Explorer and the new Expeditions.

 

RX--Nice honest review.

I agree with the child seat restraints, definitely a poor design at least for the one in the middle of the back seat. The seats are comfortable but I feel lack the lateral support of the better captain's seats.

As for the mileage, I find it to be very similar to my avalanche so I am happy considering I don't have 2000 miles on it yet or a cover on the bed. The daytime running lamps are an option and I don't have them either but do have the auto lamp option. I prefer this set up over the daytime lamps because there are times I don't want the lights on or just the running lights on (hunting, off-road, etc, not normal driving).

As for the pros, DITTO.
