Thumbs down 2005 F-150

Anyone interested in a 2005 F-150 with 375 miles on it? Has not run in five years. Ford refused to install the missing equipment it like all other F-150 have. No transmission cooler , no power steering cooler. No one from Ford executive offices in Dearborn, Michigan respond after five years. This truck was one that came without a warranty. Tires low, brake discs rusted, battery dead. It will be posted on ebay soon with the whole story of what a crooked and dishonest bunch Ford is. No more Fords for me. I had to buy a Dodge Ram pickup to get the coolers on it to use it for heavy duty towing. I paid extra for the Ford to do towing and they screwed up the truck and refused to fix it.

Your survey didn't have a place to check my response: I wouldn't buy a truck new without a warranty, because that's pretty damn stupid. Something here just don't add up, chief.

Agreed. You have two posts and no credibility. Something is fishy.

Besides that you're in the wrong forum.

There is a lot more to this story than we know. I have been selling Ford's for twenty years and I can tell you this does not happen.

I don't believe I will buy any post 96 F150s either, maybe a 97 F250.

Something with this story doesn't add up. Why would a new vehicle not have a warranty?

I didn't vote in the poll either. There isn't a box for my opinion.
