Positive Review
one of the best trucks I have ever owned, never left me. Truck has 224,000 miles and still starts and runs, I would strike right out for California in it today.
Critical Review

Reliability, low prices on parts and parts availability are excellent
Can’t really think of any
I have a 2003 F150 2WD 4.6L crew cab. It’s got the original engine and transmission. Bought it 1 year old and 17,000 miles. Got 335,000 now. I do the maintenance myself and change oil every 5,000 with Pennz synthetic and Fram XG filter. Change the transmission and filter (Mercon V and Motocraft filter) and rear end (Valvoline Synthetic 85/140 and add 1 bottle Ford friction modifer) every 30K The major issues were at 180,000: Alternator, water pump, left head gasket fail and I also did a valve job and timing chain although it didn’t need it. Unfortunately, I put in cheap Chinese timing chain so at 210,000 had to put in another timing chain but used Motocraft and new oil pump to replace so all is still going strong now.
Work Horse, Easy Repairs, Sexy
You will lose things between the seats haha
Got mine at 105k miles. 50k later, and I had exactly an issue with it bucking and revving when I put it in reverse- and that was solved by driving thru all the gears and reversing in every gear. That was 20 minutes! Otherwise, replacing a door gasket and the truck bed light. Thats it. I also have a hose to replace whenever, and otherwise not a problem to speak of! Its roomy inside- seats five adults, hauls it all and doesnt quit. Looks sexy, drives nice, and has class. Unbelievable value at any price under 10 thousand.
Some clear coat on camper shell and missing back window, as with most Ford products that used water base paints, have paint peal on hood and top of roof line, some light dents on body, front seats have normal wear with some stitching flaws, wear factors on driver's side carpet. Have maintenance records from 2007 forward. New MFS [turn signal switch], all new O2 sensors, all new plus and coils, up to date oil change records, new headlamp main switch, an added K&N cold air unit offering 13-17 more HP, slotted and drilled rotors in front with new pads, new pads in rear. Have NEW extra rearend cover and gaskets with gear oil and limited slid fluids.
Can't wait to buy a new one in December best truck ever made Bought it from my dad to Estate for 1000 bucks had 111000 miles on it I was with him and mom in 2002 when he bought it He'd never drive it in the snow it doesn't have the rust that most of them have under running board kept outside I gave it away to a friend
Low miles for year. Engine runs great. Very nice body and interior and box in good shape.
Cruise control does not work.
Have a 2003 Ford Super Cab for sale. This is the one having the bench seat in the rear. It is not a crew cab. As stated earlier it has 186,000 miles. Truck has the 8 cylinder engine and runs very well. Also, the body is very straight with nice paint. All of the glass is in great shape. I purchased this truck about eight months ago with intent of selling my 2006 Ford pickup and keeping this one because my 2006 has about 235,000 miles and is not as nice. The only thing needing repaired on this truck is the cruise control. I have not trouble shot the problem to find out what the issue is.
Needs work and lovr, runs like a beauty and manual missing some prts. Needs cosmetic parts. Colour red with a California bed
Paid $1000 few years back for my 2002 F150 5.4 ,4x4 crew cab had 170,000 Now at 225,000 Had to replace timing change Intake, manifold ( plastic bad idea ) But other wise just normal maintenance issue like spark plugs, brakes , alternator Not a pretty truck but runs well
