2004 Ford F150 Heritage, XLT review from North America
"No wonder it's been the best selling truck for decades.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have not had a single problem with the truck. not so much as a light bulb has gone out. when I bought the truck the loading mechanism for the 6-disc CD changer was stuck, but Ford replaced it under warranty with a brand new OEM unit.
General comments?
I have owned a LOT of vehicles and I have never been as satisfied as I am with this truck. the smooth V6 offers adequate power under normal driving conditions although there's not much umph when you step on it. I moved from Pennsylvania to Florida with a big motorcycle in the bed as well as a dual axle Uhaul trailer loaded to the gills trailing behind. of course I had to down shift on the big hills, but I was very impressed with it's performance. I averaged about 13mpg under the load, which is only 4-5mpg less than normal.
Cabin is pretty quiet, 60/40 split bench is comfy and sits high so you don't feel like you're surrounded by truck. 80mph on the highway isn't quite as silky as my dad's Lincoln, but it sure is awesome for a truck.
