2004 Ford F150 Sport 4WD

Bottom line at time of manufacture, the '04 Ford F-150 could undoubtedly claim to be the best-handling, quietest, most car-like full-size pickup truck in the history of the world. All of the '04 F-150 models underwent a redesign that paid off in spades for Ford. , The most notable design feature of the new F-150 is one you can't see: the fully boxed, partially hydroformed frame, stronger, stiffer and heavier than any previous Ford pickup frame. It's the seven-crossmember skeleton onto which everything else bolts, and accounts for quite a bit of the nearly 675 pounds more weight of the new F-150 compared to the old truck. The frame is nine times more resistant to twisting and 50 percent more resistant to bending than the old C-shaped frame. , , It also got a brand-new 5.4-liter V8 engine with two intake valves and one exhaust valve per cylinder, and a new intake port and combustion chamber design. Ford said that, between these two things, the 5.4-liter engine, which makes a nice, round 300 horsepower and 335 foot-pounds of torque, was also the fuel-stingiest engine the company had ever tested. , , All trims featured new interiors that show attention to detail. The seats are comfortable and supportive. The XLT instrument panel gets more flash than either the XL or STX dash. Everything else inside functions very well and looks beautiful. Super Crew versions get rear power windows for the first time. The XLT adds the new overhead rail console system and fog lamps when ordered as a 4X4. The XLT is Ford's volume model and comes with its own egg crate grille style. , , The '04 model year once again positioned the Ford F-150 as the unquestioned truck leader, with a combination of style, interior decor, powertrain, and car-like ride and handling that the other trucks, including the Nissan Titan and the Toyota Tundra, can't match.
