I have an 04 SCREW FX4 at 70K I have had decent luck. I have a few outstanding issues right now...STALLS out, a 3K RPM surge, and a whine in the rearend at 50mph. Also the standard rear window noise, and a minor noise in the dash every now and then.

Love my '06 XL. It only has about 7500 on it now, of which I put on the last 2000. I have all the paperwork from day one, it was never in the shop other than 1 oil change. Got 15.3 mpg on today's fill, Whoo Whoo!!

I had a 2003 Expy Eddie Bauer edition including often bashed moon roof and never had an ounce of trouble with it. Routine maintenance got me 105,000 solid miles. I traded it last Nov for my current 06 Lariat and same story - solid in ever account so far.

No problems at all on my '06 F150 Screw Lariat Black/Black- 52k miles - K&N FIPK and Maggie SIDO exhaust. Runs great in town and on highway trips. Driven to Denver multiple times from KC with no issues. Truck rides like a big car on the open road. I'd buy another!

2005 SCAB....NO problems at all...do my own servicing.
While I'm happy with it, I do miss the '94 Ranger 4.0 Scab 4x4 I traded in for it (dumbest move I ever did in 45 years of vehicle ownerships).

I have had a couple of problems but nothing to get excited about. 2005, Supercrew, 5.4.
1. At 1600 miles, threw a code, had to have the throttle body replaced. Reflashed computer because of bad hesitation.
2. Replaced the brake pads at 11,000 due to excessive dust.
3. Front wheel bearing at 45,000, replaced rotors.
4. Had plugs changed at 65,000 with no problem other than excessive worry for a while.
I'm very happy with the truck, have run the Edge tuner for the last 36,000 miles, now have over 66,000 on it. Had intended on buying a 2008 or 2009, but think I will just keep this one.

Outside of my vibration caused from the tires, this truck has been perfect. (cant blame the tires on the truck IMO)
By far the best all around performing half ton truck I have ever owned!
On Edit: 2007 Super Crew 4x4 6.5' bed .373 gears about 15k miles so far
