Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-150?
I like my 2001, that's why I bought a 2005 but, my next truck won't be a Ford.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-150?
I had to have my transmission rebuilt. I only have 32,500 miles on it.
I don't pull trailers or anything else. I don't drive harshly, I'm 51 years old and my driving fast days are gone. I mainly drive it to work 15 miles away and home. Fords 3yr/ 36,000 miles warranty is a joke. I had to pay to fix my truck out of my pocket, because of the 3yrs.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-150?
TRUCK OVERALL IS GREAT. NICE GAS MILEAGE. I'M GETTING ABOUT 19 MILES A GALLON. THATS NOT BAD FOR A FULL SIZE TRUCK.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-150?
I HAVE THE LIGHT FABRIC ON THE SEATS. THE LITTLE BIT OF WATER THAT HITS THE SEATS IT LOOK LIKE A STAIN AFTER IT DRIES.

THE VIBRATION ABOUT 67 THOUSAND MILES AND NO ONE HAS ANY ANSWERS FOR IT... NEEDS TO BE GONE OVER AND REVIEWED.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-150?
I love the looks of my f150 supercab, probably one of the best looking trucks out there.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-150?
I have had nothing but problems with the front end of my truck, not sure if its because its a ford of if the dealer hires rejects to fix them.

2005 Ford F-150 Review:
Over all Ford sure knows how to make a good looking truck, they were not thinking very hard when they put the light gray interior in these things, one drop of water shows up as a stain on these seats. As far a my mechanical problems i hope its only happening to me because i have had this thing in the shop 5 times now, and it is actually setting there as i type. For this reason i will never buy another one.

2005 Ford F-150 Review:
I am satisfied with my 2003 F150 southern comfort altho I will NEVER buy another Ford product now that I have worked at the KY TRUCK PLANT for over 13 years and seen first had just how bad they treat their employee's especially the workers who get hurt in the process of their jobs! As you enter the plant the banner hanging above each door reads, "DO OR DIE" that says it all doesn't it? Also, watch the news guys ford is no longer using full time employee's, now it is only part time temps who will never have benefits or option of full time employment so you can imagine the quality that is or will be used in the 2007 and beyond trucks! Also, Ford only puts the parts together-well most of them. The instrument panel, carpet, seats, even the windshield now is built with the mirror already attached so there is very little actual assembly being done at the majority of North American plants! If anyone doesn't believe this than please watch the news or search Louisville KY ford workers quit in droves. More than 3,000 employee's quit in 2007 leaving $30.00 an hour jobs and ford claims quality is job one-well who are they getting quality from because it certainly isn't the american workers any longer! I hope those of you who are searching for a new vehicle will consider Ford has the shortest warranty, the vehicles are now only "finished" at the Ford plants not produced start to finish as they were just five years ago. The employees are unskilled, paid less than half wages of those that used to be hired on a full time basis and are expected to do more. IF they are hurt or require medical assistance for any reason they are automatically let go-fired! I am so thankful that I quit and would rather pump gas than work there again! I urge the American consumer if you are serious about a new purchase than please not only consider the finished product but how the vehicle is built and by who. We all want a good quality vehicle that looks as good as it gets and rides like a dream but lets please let Ford know that we need Quality built vehicles, built by Americans for Americans in a safe, quality manner. Not just finishing the products where 80% is made else where! Tell Ford what you want and why, I urge you to be honest with your sales person, neighbor, family and friends. Lets keep good quality products produced in America for Americans! Thank you, Former local 862, KY TRUCK PLANT Worker-home of the Superduty pick up.
