I have an 06 f150 and a 02 F-250 and our son has an 04 F-150 these vehicles are junk they're not worth buying or repairing apparently Ford motor company is too stupid to fire their engineers abilities vehicles incorrectly just like the early80s through 90s standard shift transmissions that didn't have first gear you had to ride the clutch in first gear to pull out Ford owner spend a lot of money and clutches for that now they designed vehicles that won't even charge the batteries because the charging system goes through the fuse box then into a computer which doesn't charge the battery correctly and then running through the computer with all the other garbage that isn't hooked up correctly drains the batteries whenever they sit it's a damn shame that Ford can no longer build a 20-year truck Toyota is the way to go I'm getting rid of both my junk Fords and buying a Toyota I've had enough of American automobiles you can't even pull the transmission or the engine out of these four words without having to disassemble the engine to get to the top bellhousing bolts and then have fun trying to get out the torque converter bolts at least Chevys and imports come apart but I'm not too impressed with Chevy sees days either and Dodges rot way too fast
