2004 Ford F150 Reviews

Both power windows have broken.

It has a leak in the rack and pinion.

It is rusting through below the FX4 sticker. (dealer would not fix).

I cannot keep the interior from staining.

I had to buy seat covers.

The cup holder broke very quickly.

Mechanically under the hood, it has been pretty reliable.

It has been reliable under the hood so far.

Gas mileage is terrible.

It is still a great looking truck.

I was very unhappy about the rust and the fact that the dealer would not fix it. For that, I will not be buying another Ford.

I had to replace the rear axle seals at 55,000.

Other than that, it has been mostly routine maintenance stuff like brakes. I drive pretty hard most of the time, so brakes went quickly, but no more than other vehicles I have owned have.

One other downside is that the seats really hold stains. Spilt water in the passenger seat and it left a visible ring.

Honestly, I love this pick up. I live in Montana so it has done well with going in the mountains hiking, hunting, etc. Also, has been good in the snow etc.

It is a good pick up for someone who wants/needs a pick up for small jobs, etc. and is more economical than the F-250 or 350.

The third brake light on the roof has started to leak.

I have replaced the tires on it with Silent Armours, and that's about it.

Awesome truck. Not the best for fuel mileage, but great to just cruise around in. This truck has yet to fail me.

My next truck is going to be another F150, if this one will ever break down.

The thing I love most about this truck is that the back seat has a lots of leg space, and that the rear windows roll down.

Back up sensor.

Valve damper.

Front brakes.

Love this pickup.

Lots of power.

Rides perfect for a 4x4.

Interior is 100 percent.

Noise around rear doors is minimal, but could be better.

Nothing at all.

This truck is one of the best vehicles of any kind I have ever owned so far.

It could use a power boost compared to the others, but my truck gets about 19.5 mpg highway, 15 city; that's pretty good for a full size truck.

It has leather seats and smooth ride. And it is a head turner as well.

Owned a CTS Cadillac previously; NO MORE GM PRODUCTS FOR ME. I own a 2004 F150 and my wife has a 2005 Mustang V6, and we are satisfied.

I had it serviced for a noisy belt tensioner, and figured I'd have the spark plugs changed. Walked away with a 1000$ repair bill due to the funky spark plug location that took 20 hours labour to remove. Stay away from the 5.4 3V.

Some transmission work right out the door (quality problem at assembly plant), but fine since then.

No other problems. I just keep up with general maintenance.

In general, nice fit and finish. Interior is huge. However, I think Ford could use better quality carpet and seat material. My front carpet started to wear through in about 20K miles, and the cloth seats stain terribly -- even water leaves an ugly stain.

Good acceleration, and handling / braking are fine, given that it's a full-size truck (ie, you better slow down in turns).

I like the styling, but one drawback is that the sides are so high it makes it difficult to sideload the truck. Counter-weighted tailgate is really nice, however; you can flip it up with one hand.

All in all, what I expected and am pleased.
