A lot of people tend to complain about this or that in this forum, but I want to really gauge the overall feeling of F-150 ownership. Are you really happy you bought one?

Good poll, but mileage is a major relating factor.

I would've voted much differently when my truck was new. Some major problems have surfaced after 5K miles.

Maybe you could use the same poll in 5-10K mile increments?

The o4 F150 is great, quiet, comfortable, the best F150 I have ever owned, with some issues.

It's looking like this vibration issue, among others may be somewhat isolated. Please, if you have this issue, don't think that I'm belittling it, I'm sure it's the source of huge aggravation, especially considering the cost of the truck coupled with the expectations of a "Built Tough" vehicle.

I just wanted to gauge how widespread they are, and to maybe just calm some of my fears since I hope to take delivery of my truck soon. It's supposed to be built this week. I more or less wanted to see what the odds are that my truck will suffer from these maladies too.

I love this truck. Love looking at it. Love driving it. I know some folks have had some problems, but I think there are a lot more, like me, who have nothing but great things to say about it.

Take away the vibration and it's an awesome truck. With the vibration I'd rather have my 01 Chevy with 90k miles back.

I've had some minor issues. Been in the shop several times. I still love it. Wouldn't trade it for any other truck.
