"How did I ever get along without one?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The air conditioning condensate initially leaked into the passenger foot-well, but the problem somehow fixed itself.

General comments?

There is a little too much padding down the middle of the bucket seat backs. My body often wants to rock side to side instead of remaining straight. Otherwise, comfort is very good.

Driver position is very good: all controls are easily accessible, visibility is excellent and inspires confidence.

The suspension is a bit bouncy with an empty bed, but soaks up uneven pavement, potholes and the occasional curb without complaint.

General utility and hauling capacity is simply outstanding.

I just bought my F150 about a month a go and its been a good truck. I love it,it has better traction than my GMC and outstanding horse power.

Update to the original post:

Now with 36,000 miles on the clock I remain quite satisfied with this truck. Aside from the aforementioned a/c leak, which ultimately required a quick repair, absolutely nothing has gone wrong.

The 4.6L engine has plenty of torque for most hauling chores, even the occasional heavy trailer.

Around town the truck delivers 16 mpg; with the cruise set at 55 and a/c blowing hard I get almost 22!

The super-cab space is really more suited for dry cargo than people despite its bench seat. Another 4 inches would have made a huge difference.
