This truck is a top quality ride
The seats are very easily stained, it seems like the least little thing will leave a stain mark.
This is the best truck on the road. It has the ride of a Lincoln Town car.
The cabin is very quiet.

Great truck!
This truck has been a very good and reliable auto. Have owned it for 3.5 years, and no problems to date.
Plenty of power, runs smooth, quiet, getting better mileage than EPA estimate on sticker. Cannot say enough good about this truck.

Disappointment
Intermittent rough idle from new. No fix from dealer.
Stereo failure at 1 year old. No dealer help.
Limited slip differential failure at 45,000Km, repaired under warranty.
Rear parking brake seized up at 48,000Km.
This truck has been a disappointment.
It has a lack of power as well as a lack of fuel mileage.
The off road ability is poor due to no limited slip differential. The one in it has never worked. According to the dealer, Ford loosened them up because of customer complaints about noise.
Seat material stains easily.
Accessory drive on the engine is noisy.
The box sides/tailgate are too high for a normal height person to reach over.
It is a pretty truck, but if you need a truck to do some work, look for something else.

The 2004 to 2008 F-150's are 10 times better than the older F-150 models
Nothing went wrong.
This truck is beautiful, handles like driving a race car, is quiet and and has a comfortable ride.
Excellent climate controls.
With the 3.73 rear slip differential, I never have to switch it to 4 wheel drive. I never owned a better 4x4 truck with as good 2 wheel drive traction this truck has. I live in a heavy lake effect snow belt area where 4 wheel drive is needed, and I am amazed how good it goes through heavy snow, without slipping a wheel in heavy snow.

I have never read anything about the HEATER in the F150 super crew. I live in Minnesota where it does get COLD. We have climate control in the truck. The passenger front is approx. 30 degrees colder than drivers side. I have had it in twice to repair, but no change.. LAST FORD FOR ME!!!

Great Truck
None.
I love my F-150.
It has a lot of interior space, big bed and I love driving in on the snow.
However, 4.6L Triton V8 (231 hp) seems underpowered. Great for towing, but not for daily driving.
I wish XL would have more standard equipment. At least power windows, CD player and cruise control.
But overall, I got 4 door truck with V8 and 4x4 for only $21,000 and I'm really happy with what I got.

Underpowered for daily driving, but not for towing? ehhh.
Well yeah.
Towing and payload capacity numbers are great.
However, for daily driving 231 hp just isn't enough (I have '00 Mustang 3.8L 5-speed for daily driving; I use F-150 only when necessary). Maybe that's because I went from Mustang to F-150.
Why didn't you go with the 5.4 engine option?
When I was buying a new F-150 in 2005, I was picky, test driving the 4.6 engine was not exciting to me, then I found a 4.6 engine with a 3.73 rear axle, it was better, but still lacked the power and acceleration I wanted. I was ready to buy the Chevy, but at the last minute the dealer found me a new FX4 with the 5.4 engine and 3.73 rear, test driving it I fell in love and took it home. It came std with the power windows, door locks and shift on the fly 4x4 that I didn't want, but I learned to love it.
Don't believe the people that tell you the 4.6 and the 5.4 has the same power, the fact is these engines have a BIG difference in power.

I feel your pain man, I really do. I have a '08 F150 (V6) and it too has a rough idle to it, comes and goes. Ford says they lean out the emissions at idle, I don't buy it. Mine seems underpowered, even with the manual trans it feels like a 4 banger. Beautiful truck, but don't try to do work with it, it will not have the power for the job.
