My Perfect 04...

I haven't bothered with this page in awhile because my 04 F150 has been perfect in 30,000 miles..

I had problems with the AC not blowing cold, but once I got a tech to add a few more ounces of R134 than Ford recommends the vent temps dropped from 50 degrees to 38 degrees in 90 degree weather.

Had some vibration problems also.. Turns out the rear emergency brake system wasn't releasing and burned out the pads. I mean the vibration was so bad the windshield wipers were jumping off the windshield.

After that crap the truck has been perfect...

My lease is about up on it, well in July. My dealer tells me I'll get early out offers...probably in Feb or March..

I'm thinking about down sizing to an 07 Sport Trac with V8... In fact I know I'm going to do it...

Anyone interested in a super clean 04 F150 Lariat, Wedgewood Blue/Tan, leather seats, 28k, oil changes every 3k or less. Has a BedRug and under it the bed is new.. Should contact me.

Truck is worth 20,087 at the end of the lease in July with 36000 miles on it. I have the option to just give it back to ford motor credit or sell it myself. Doesn't matter to me, but I've babied this truck since day one and would like to see it go to someone that can ask me questions about it's history...

All I want is whatever Ford needs to get out of it early... I'm guessing at 22k.. but who knows with this current market and the short mileage on the truck..

I'm a Marine Surveyor and I know how much a past history can mean on boats and vehicles..
