Idle quality

I recieved my 2004 F150 screw Lariat 9-26-03 and sold my 2001 F150 screw Lariat. After driving it for two months and 2500 miles I must say that the ride and handling are superior to the old truck.
I do miss the extra storage behind the rear seat but otherwise the interior is also much better. The Idle is quite rough compared to the old truck. Is this an issue for anyone else? Otherwise I am really growing to like more and more..

Tim

What Engine do you have?
All i have driven have been very smooth.
Rough engine operation is not normal.
Time to see your dealer for a check up.
