If you buy a Ford bug shield, it alters the air to where it hits the windshield, sounds like your in a rainstorm on clear day when driving 65mph.
I really like ours, if they could fix it, I would keep it, but apparently
they can't !

These trucks are EASY to fall in love with.
I bought my 99 on a "spur of the moment".
I have not regretted the purchase, but am not happy with the driving characteristics, but I dont think the 03/04s have the same issues.
Here would be my suggestion:
Test drive one...
keep it all day if possible, or overnight.
drive it around town, AND at 65 mph on the interstate.
If you are happy with it, stop in to see the service manager and ask to see any service bullitens releasd on that model.
Look around the service shop...are there any Expys in there?
Ask him why!
Then ask what issues has he dealt with in the past 6 months.
After you are satisfied with the answer, go to ANOTHER dealership, and ask the same questions to see if you get the same answers.
