I just have to say that i have 65k on my 2001 f150 lariat 4x4 and a 5.4 triton motor and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with my motor or the rest of the truck,i just had to get that down for the record because otherwise all you hear is the bad stuff.

 

My 2001 has been a real good truck too, so far. 36,700 miles. I had a PCV hose crack and a MAF fail, but the engine has been very reliable so far. I love my truck.

Also remember that for every failure that you read about there are millions of others out there just running like a dream.
