Faults:

Upper and lower ball joints, both sides replaced.

Both control arms replaced.

$0 spent - extended service warranty from Ford paid for it all.

General Comments:

Fantastic pickup, feels like luxury compared to other vehicles I've had.

I track my exact fuel mileage every fillup - it's about 13 in city and 15 on the highway.

Extended cab, 4wd, 5.4L and ladder rack and ladder keep the mpg's down, I'm sure.

Problems:

- CD player sometimes does not eject a disc, but I just bang on the dash and it comes out

- Seats stain very easily, even from WATER.

I love this pickup. I got it for a great deal and got a good trade in on my other F150.

Seats are extremely comfortable once adjusted correctly - I probably average 100+ miles per day.

The bed is very deep, it can be tough to reach stuff over the side.

Great pickup, no serious problems.

Took it to the dealership, and they left a lot of dirt and crap on the door armrests and center armrest.

Faults:

The transmission went out at 36,000 miles.

Starter went out at 40,000.

Window switch went out at 50,000.

General Comments:

From day one, the truck has gone through 3 quarts of oil every 5000 miles. After running no less than 10 oil consumption tests with the dealership, the factory and dealership said it was within factory specs to go through that much oil. There is no oil on the floor or smoke out the exhaust.

This is not a work truck, just light around town truck.

Their slogan is built Ford tough, but we will never purchase another Ford product again.

Faults:

Fuel injector stuck open at 150 miles.

Tire thumping upon receipt. Probable defect in tire. Not resolved.

Howling (whistling) from fuel system when air is 35 degrees or colder. Not resolved.

Heating air handling system will not switch to defrost until engine warms up when below 40 degrees.

Rear differential cover is rusting through.

General Comments:

Acceleration lag and shifting delay are poor to the point of nuisance.

Wind and engine noises (valve lifters) are higher than reasonably expected.

Braking and handling characteristics are superior.

The extra deep bed is more of a nuisance than useful, since you cannot reach over the side to place or retrieve objects.

Faults:

Power windows on both sides.

6 disc CD changer broke.

A couple of sensors went.

General Comments:

It is a great poweful truck, but with great power comes even greater fuel bills.

It's very smooth and quiet, but with a high tailgate it's hard to back up.
