The paint is very thin and easy to scratch. In some places the paint is so thin I can see the primer.
The truck has been excellent. The ride is very choppy and I think the shocks are poor. Going over bumps while cornering really unsettles the truck and causes high understear. The Chevrolet 2500 trucks are far better riding. The F150 can corner very well considering it is a 4x4. I can keep up to any average car in the corners at high speed. Very impressive. The 5.4L engine has plenty of power. Another complaint is the rough shifting of the Automatic Transmission. This could be improved. Automatic 4x4 is excellent and it really handles well in the SNOW and ICE. The Supercab doors are a real pain in tight parking. Very hard to evacuate the vehicle when both doors block your way. I wish they had a Crewcab with the 6' short box.
My husband and I owned a Ford F150 V8 Triton engine. The truck was very nice. Never had a problem with it. The 4x4 was great, lots of pull. However, my husband was in a fatal auto accident and the cab of the truck was torn from the bed. It literally split just behind the cab. I don't know if this was the first time Ford has had this happen, but beware.
