 Since 1986 I have purchased a new 
vehicle every year. The new 2004 Ford  
F-150, for my needs & desires, has been 
the best of those purchases! The ride 
and handeling make it a pleasure to 
drive. The transmission is verry smooth 
and the fuel mileage, (although not 
sientific), seems to be as good or 
better than my friends who drive other 
makes of the same class. I'm not a big 
fan of the fake wood trim, but aside 
from that, the interior is verry nice. 
The exterior has a clean crisp look 
that, I think, will hold it's own for a 
few years to come. I am not suprised to 
hear that some people feel that this 
truck is sluggish. The ride in this 
truck is so good that I think you loose 
some sense of speed.
