Check out Paul Lienert's review of the 2004 F-150 in USA Today:

This guy was obviously impressed! If the truck is half as good as he says, then we've got a winner!

Hmmm. He said it was fake wood. I thought I heard it was real. (I'm not very knowledgable about cars- I'm just 13.) Any comment?

I don't think Ford has used any real wood in a vehicle since the '51 Country Squire. Lincolns might have the genuine article, but we Ford folk have to settle for the synthetic stuff.
