Funny. I am a technician for Ford and I have drivin a Dodge for about 4 years. Last weekend I broke down and traded my Dakota for a 08 F-150 SC 5.4L. Well I did the PDI and also the $1000 in accessories that Ford offered and I just need to have the Truck detailed for me to actually take it. Well I was replacing the front bumper from lot dammage and I see a fluid leak from my pinion seal on the rear diff. I have exactly 100 km on the truck.......and I am already fixing the truck.. Hmmmm.

I told the wife that I work on Ford's all day.....I see nothing but problems on cars and truck's. Thats why it is so hard for me to own a new Ford.My truck is a 95 F-150. I love it.Plus it is cheap to fix.

Mine is 04 fx4 regular cab w/5.4 3valve. I LOVE IT @52,000 miles owned it since new I just cant keep that sh--eatin grin off my face every time I fire her up!! I bet alot of other owners feel the same way. Oh now I have had my little problems too. Broken spark plug, control on passenger window wont work up or down, small nicks in paint, I would definately buy a new ford truck and have no reservations except for the 40,000 they want now! I do wish however I had a crew cab.... need talk to my wife on that one!

I have a 2006 F-150 just turned 60K miles only thing done above normal (oil changes, tires, brake pads)
1 - Bearing for my idler pulley $8 (Entire idler pulley w/new bearing was $25) I took the cheap route)
2 - Just found out while truck is in for 60K service - Rear Pinion is leaking - not sure how bad as I haven't seen it yet.
Otherwise the truck has been Flawless! Love it!

My 05 is at 30K, and no probs, except for one recall for a hose of some sort. I have driven it for 3 yrs, and replaced the battery, not that it went bad, but here in the desert I dont like to run a battery more than 2 summers, and the oem was 4 yrs old. Maybe it would still be running, but the heat out here is murder on them. My only complaint is a rattle somewhere on the pass side half door area that I cant find.

I am just over 90k miles and I am proud of my truck.
Just like my dad's old '81 F100, has been a fine truck.
Only issue has been the front driver and passenger window regulators. each has been replaced once.
Also replaced all pads with ceramics.
Other than tires, oil, etc etc she has been tip top.

My '05 Screw 4x4 had exactly zero issues until my wife got rear-ended in it, 4 months ago. My insurance company was good enough to put a NEW frame and bed on it! Long story short, Ford FUBAR'd the tranny and I hope it is fixed now. I love the truck and I have only done regular maintenance on it, brakes, tires, and battery. Ford has earned my business.

My wife's truck is a 2005 F150 SuperCrew Lariat with 122,000 miles. We have had no problems so far, except that &$@% ashtray that pops open every time you hit a bump. It has been a great truck. Mileage has dropped lately, so I think it's about time to change the spark plugs. That's why I'm here, trying to find out how to change the plugs on this electronic beast.
