2004 Ford F150 Supercrew review from North America
"Good, no-surprises truck with plenty of room"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
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.
