The 2004 Ford F-150 hit the market with revised steering, delivering the same reliable, powerful powertrain but with a better feel on the road. Just about anything you can criticize comes down to the fact that it’s a twenty year old full-size, meaning you’ll spend a little extra on maintenance and fuel.
The Good
Reliable, powerful, priced fairly, and roomier than some SUVs. The 2004 F-150 featured improved steering over previous models.
The Bad
It’s a twenty year old full-size pickup. That means you’ll be spending close to a grand on annual maintenance, and refueling can be expensive.
Is the 2004 Ford F-150 a Good Used Truck?
- Overall Rating 8/10 – Still one of the best pickups on the market.
- Interior, Comfort & Cargo 9/10 – A pioneer of the SUV-like interior, the 2004 F-150 is still one of the most comfortable, spacious vehicles on the market. You’ll have to look into buying a luxury car if you want more comfort than this.
- Reliability 8/10 – By this point you’ll probably be spending a few hundred bucks here and there for new starters, AC compressors, and control modules, but the powertrain and engine might keep running for another ten years.
- Safety 7/10 – Onboard safety tech is dated and crash test scores are mediocre, but the F-150 is a tank.
- Gas Mileage 6/10 – 17/20 miles to the gallon, city/highway, isn’t bad for a 2004 full-size, but it’s still a 2004 full-size.
- Value 7/10 – The 2004 F-150 is priced fairly. Typically listing in the seven thousand dollar range, the truck is worth the price, but it’s hardly a steal.
Positive Owner Reviews
Bobby C
Everything is still running great with higher mileage and no major issues
Love the way it handles and drives. Easy to keep maintenance up
Mason G
An F-150 Triton V8 with a bed cover.
An amazing truck that can pull its own weight and can be very reliable. The only problem would be the seats and how they were made from the factory, makes the tear easily.
Matthew T
Very Dependable Vehicle. I have had it since New 2004 and have only had a seal leak one time.
The F-150 is a dependable vehicle. It looks very sharp. Plenty of leg space for any one over 6 foot.
Bobby H
The truck of trucks. All and all you cannot beat a Ford truck.
It is a good truck and easy to drive. And has good power and I'd buy another one. Also I think you should buy me one and give it to me and I would give mine to someone else. . I am just saying. . But I think it is the best truck I have ever had. So I hope you all go out and buy a f-150.
Chancey O
It is a good vehicle and great.
This vehicle is awesome. It has comfortable seats and the air conditioner works great. The radio works great but the knob is not working
Austin G
A sturdy vehicle 14 years later.
I have had this truck for about 7 years. It was a work truck before that. It has about 250, 000 miles on it and still runs with little to no problems.
Angela G
Great work truck. Dependable and looks good.
Ford F-150 Supercab has 4 doors so you don't have to move the seat to get in. Plenty of sitting room for 5 adults and lots of legroom too. The rear bench seat may not be comfortable for long rides, 7+ hours. Only have had to do general maintenance...runs like a champ.
Sheila K
It is a very dependable brand vehicle. It is over 14 years old
I love my truck. It has been very dependable and I would definitely buy another ford in the future
Negative Owner Reviews
Caleb W
It is a terrible car that gets terrible mileage and it does not even appeal.
My truck really has a lot of problems ranging from the starter all the way to miles per gallon. It has been falling apart ever since I got it and I cannot wait to get another vehicle. I would probably recommend a Toyota made vehicle and not a Ford vehicle. They fall apart terrible easily.
Brad E
The fuel economy is terrible and the ride is like sailing in a boat.
It's spacious. The ride is awful. The mileage is only 11 to 12 MPG in town and not much better on the highway. The engine sounds like it is tearing itself apart every time you start it.
Brad e
It is big and heavy and bounces around when you're driving. The gas mileage is awful. It is hard to maneuver in a parking lot.
It runs. It may be old and have bad gas mileage, but it still runs and there are few repairs.
Sherry V
My Ford f150 and its use.
I love my vehicle it is roomy and has a great amount of pep for being as old as it is. I used it hard and had to haul a great many things in it and it always came through for me. Recently it has been having a lot of issues but since it has almost 300k miles its to be expected I just wish it would last a little longer.
bob h
Don't waste your money on it buy 4 wheel drive this truck in no good in bad weather
It not 4-wheel drive so in bad weather it is no good
Russ D
The MPG is incredibly low, so I will not likely cruise.
I love that it is a truck, because it's a cool car. Its pretty powerful, but the gas mileage is so dang bad it takes all the joy out of driving it. It also has had so many engine problems I can no longer drive it on trips or further than about an hour away.
Cody S
It sucks as an everyday driver.
It is just rough riding as far as comfortability goes, the tires wear down so fast I have put 2 sets on them in the past 6 months. I find it to be ridiculous. It is also drinking a lot of oil and gas. My dad looked at it but he said he didn't know what wrong with, and he’s the best mechanic in our town.
walter m
Stay away from fords because they will not last only if you park it
It has only 103.000 miles on it and 2 windows have fell down the front end was out line went I got it new and nothing was done until it came out of its 1st 12.000 miles
What Do Critics Say About the 2004 Ford F-150?
Consumer Reports praised the 2004 F-150 as a “significant improvement” over previous models. They note the comfortable ride, nimble handling, and improved build quality. CR’s reviewers had few real complaints regarding the truck, remarking that the full-size is more fuel efficient than you might expect in this size class.
Edmunds were impressed with the handling and the smooth ride, and they liked the new look for the truck. They note that acceleration is a bit slower than you hope to find in a V8.
Kelley Blue Book users like the handling and reliability, they appreciate the power and comfort, but a few reviewers note that you may have to shell out for a big repair like an AC pump or a control module now and then.
What Common Problems Does the 2004 Ford F-150 Have?
Structure and visibility issues are a big problem for 2004 F-150 drivers. There are 103 structure complaints on file and 844 for visibility, making up around half of the 2,012 total complaints. These complaints range from side mirrors falling off of the truck to sunroofs exploding right out of the frame.
Drivers have reported powertrain issues like failure to start and engine stall while in traffic. There are 232 powertrain complaints on file, which sounds like a lot, but remember that the F-150 was the best selling vehicle in the world in 2004, so any issues are going to be amplified by volume.
Corroded fuel tank straps have been a recurring problem with early ’00s model F-150s. If you live in a colder state where you see a lot of road salt, there’s a chance your strap has rusted through and could leave the gas tank dragging on the highway. Check your VIN for any applicable recalls.
The 2004 F-150 has 16 recalls on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is higher than average for a twenty year old vehicle, especially since they were all recalled in the truck’s first decade. But, for the most part, these recalls have been administered without incident and should point to an attentive, safety-conscious manufacturer.
How Long Will the 2004 Ford F-150 Last?
200,000 has been reported as a low average life expectancy for a 2004 F-150, with 300,000 being frequently reported on the high end. Split the difference and expect to get about 250,000 miles out of your F-Series. If you can find one in like-new condition, 300,000 or more isn’t unrealistic, but you’ll need a bit of luck to hit that number.
RepairPal estimate an annual maintenance cost of $788 for an F-150, with new AC evaporators being the most expensive common fix, starting at $943.
Stephanie Z
Somebody damages. When I get some extra money I can get it fixed. That is my plan. I hope and pray that something good comes my way and I can help not only me but others.
Rita D
With the exception of what I posted earlier there aren't really any problems with this vehicle and would recommend
Jose O
Yes it is reliable. It does have problems. It has an AUX button that does nothing. There is an issue with the O2 sensor. It also sometimes is jumpy.
Cindy S
Yes windows don't work needs to get fix need a new oil change need others things to get fix as well but don't have the money to fix it
Patrick R
It’s very reliable. I've had no major issues with it and it still offers a smooth ride with regular expected maintenance.
How Is the Technology?
Entertainment technology is adequate for a 2004 pickup. You get a radio with four speakers in the entry level models, and a six-disc CD player in the higher trim levels, and that’s about as fancy as it gets.
Safety features are, likewise, adequate considering the age. You get power anti-lock brakes and full airbags with a deactivation switch. Fine for 2004, but hardly cutting-edge.
Is the 2004 Ford F-150 a Good Value?
A 2004 F-150 is a fair value. At a typical listing price of $7,378 for an entry level supercab, the truck is worth every penny assuming mileage under 170,000, but when you add fuel and maintenance costs into the equation, you may wind up wondering if you really need a full-size pickup in the first place.
The 2004 Silverado LS sells in around the same range with the same mileage, so if you think seven grand sounds a bit high, that’s just the going rate for a full-size pickup from 2004 these days.
What are the Different Models of the 2004 Ford F-150?
The 2004 F-150 is available in six trim levels, from the base XL to the special edition Lightning.
With the entry-level XL you get:
- Manual air conditioning
- AM/FM radio with four speakers
- Cloth seat trim
Next up, the STX adds:
- Remote keyless entry

The mid-range XLT features:

- Automatic air conditioner
- Driver side keypad entry
The off-road FX4 adds:
- Black leather steering wheel
- Off road shock absorbers
The special-edition Lightning features:

- Heated mirrors
- Cloth and leather seat trim

What Engines Come In the 2004 Ford F-150?
- The base engine in the 2004 F-150 is a 4.6L V8 delivering 231 horsepower and 293 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 4-speed automatic and configured in rear/four wheel drive. It averages 17/20 miles to the gallon and tows up to 5,900 pounds.
- If you want a little more muscle, you’ve got a 5.4L Triton V8 delivering an incredible 300 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft. of torque. This is configured in four wheel drive and averages 14/18 miles to the gallon. Depending on your options you could tow up to 9,500 pounds with this engine.
What Colors Does the 2004 Ford F-150 Come In?
How Comfortable Is the 2004 Ford F-150?
The The Extended cab can comfortably seat the entire family. This is from the era when trucks were first transitioning into SUV-like interiors, and the F-150 led the way with a whopping 63.8 inches of hiproom.
You’ve no doubt heard of the “death wobble,” where an F-150’s suspension goes loose and leaves you vibrating all over the road. This is more of an issue with lifted trucks and you won’t see it too frequently in the stock 2004 model F-Series. But, don’t skip the test drive, and make sure to see how it performs on rocky roads.
How Much Storage Space Does the 2004 Ford F-150 Have?
With the long bed you’re getting 81.3 cubic feet of storage space. That’s about enough to load a compact car up into the box and drive around with it. It’s a full-size truck, you’re not going to have any problem hauling whatever it is you need to haul in this thing.
With a 5.5 Extra Short you’ve got 52.8 cubic feet, and the 6.5 Short Bed gives you 65.5, or 59.1 with a flareside.. No matter your bed length, 5.5′, 6.5′, or 8′) you get 50 inches across and 22.3 inches deep..
What Are the Differences Between Years?
The 2004 F-150 was the final year of the truck’s 10th Generation, launching in the 1997 model year..
1999: The Supercab was introduced in 1999, ushering in an era of SUV-like pickups.
2000: Ford debuted the supercharged Harley-Davidsion model in 2000, and they expanded the cab options with the new Supercrew, truly bringing the pickup into the modern age.
2001: The King Ranch was introduced for 2001.
2002: Ford gave the suspension an overhaul, dropping the truck by about an inch.
2003: The Sporty STX trim and the Z828 Kenwood stereo both debuted in 2003.
2004: Steering was vastly improved by a new rack-and-pinion system, and the exterior got some minor redesigns, including sleek new headlights.
How Does the 2004 Ford F-150 Compare to the Competition?
Ford vs. Chevy is generally a matter of preference, and that certainly applies to their respective 2004 full-size pickups. The F-150 outclasses the Silverado for max towing capacity, with the Chevy tapping out at 7,600. The Silverado generally sells for a few hundred dollars cheaper. We’re splitting hairs here. If you don’t already have a favorite, test-drive both and see what you think.
A mid-range 2004 Dodge Ram can list for well over ten grand, and it towing capacity comes up a few hundred pounds short of comparable Fords. There’s a lot to like about a used Ram, but if you’re looking at value, the F-150 and the Silverado both leave Dodge in the dust for 2004.
Almost any model year F-150 is going to be one of the best used trucks on the market, and the 2004 edition is no exception.

04 F150 FX4
I've had my 04 FX4 Super Crew Cab for 9 years. Love it!!!. I get good gas mileage for a truck this size. Drove from SE Pa. To Grand Rapids Michigan 5 adults back filled with luggage and got 22 mpg. Other than regular maintenance I've had little problems with truck.
WilliamColandrea on August 30, 2021
Andy
I have just over 140000 miles on my truck and the frame is rotting out .looks like a bad batch of steel .
Apryl H on June 19, 2021
Very versatile. You can take lots of people places or you can remove the seats and haul a lot of stuff.
It has been a good reliable vehicle for our large family. The air conditioning worked well until this summer.
Kristi H on June 2, 2021
It need some body work, it's not perfect but it drives great
My truck is great! It's reliable and gets me from point A to point B. The only complaint I have is that the tires are really expensive and keeping gas in it.
Audrey L on May 31, 2021
That it is very reliable. And good for loads and pulling trailers.
Dislikes.. High gas mileage.. Rust spots.. Expensive tires.. Not AWD.... Likes.. Color.. Comfort.. Rides smooth.. Transfer things in bed.
Nicholas S on April 3, 2021
It is very expensive to drive with today's gas prices.
It is a good truck, very rarely has an issue. It is very comfortable. I love the body style. It gets horrible gas mileage.
Diane F on April 1, 2021
Still looks as good as new!
Overall I have had no maintenance problem with my truck! However it does have this ongoing problem of frequently feeling like it is going to die out upon acceleration, that no mechanic thus far has been able to diagnose! Has not cut out yet, but frustrating to me as the driver/ owner!!
Hazel W on March 28, 2021
It's hard to drive because of the size.
It in a a huge van. It is hard to drive but sort of reliable. I still have it.
Charlie B on March 27, 2021
The bed is the best part of my truck. It's durable and easy to put stuff in
I love my truck in all aspects. Even though it's a little old, it still gets the job done. The seats are old and the leather is getting worn but I still sit very comfortable in it. It's only a 2wd but I've never once Been stuck in the mud. I haven't had any issues yet as far as reliability. I keep it updated with maintenance every 6 years and it runs like a charm.
Mary B on March 26, 2021
Maybe just that if the road is wet the back tires don't get a lot of traction and with slip so drive carefully.
I like that it has room for hauling and for friends. It's a very comfortable ride. I dislike how much gas it's consumes. I also dislike that it's the first year of its model style so it's has minor mechanical issues.
Leach L on March 22, 2021
The gas mileage is really terrible. Only get 13 miles per gallon.
I do not like the way the front seats are made n my vehicle. Other than that, I like the truck really well. No problems yet with it.
John M on March 18, 2021
One of the best made vehicles in America.
I love my f 150. A very dependable vehicle. Has given me years of service. I have driven this truck to New York on several occasions.
Sonia D on March 3, 2021
I feel safe being in a truck.
It is getting rusty. I bought it brand new. I really like my truck. It is paid for. I feel safe, being a single middle aged woman.
Patricia T on February 25, 2021
Ford f150 fx4 crew cab truck in black exterior and black interior
Very comfortable and very good mileage everything works in it has excellent sound system and seats 5 comfortably
Cindy m on February 24, 2021
Very convenient for transporting and hauling things.
My Yukon was totaled, so I'm driving our pick up until I can get another vehicle. I love being able to haul large items, but it's a problem if it's raining. Hard to store things in the open bed. Love driving a truck, though!
Red C on February 23, 2021
Good vehicle for everyday use
Comfortable ride, good hauling capacity, would like better gas mileage handles well on the road only minor repairs have been required
Mary M on February 22, 2021
It has been a very loyal vehicle not very many problems.
I just wish it was a four-door.. Wish it was a different color and I also wish that it was 2 will dr. Not four-wheel-drive.
Houston M on February 21, 2021
Great truck and very affordable
No issues and performs great. I have had this vehicle for several years and it had always performed as it was supposed to. Rides great and handles great. Maintenance is cheap on this vehicle. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that is currently looking.
Tammy H on February 20, 2021
My truck just keeps going.
Lasting a long time without issues. The only money I have has to put in is regular maintenance. It is reliable. Though at it is age I am dealing with rust. It still drives amazing. It has needed a new gas tank. This was my largest cost. Breaks tires. And bearings are all other repairs.
Sheri S on February 19, 2021
I love my f-150... Everything I want and need... Will surely get another.
I do not have anything bad to say... I love my truck.. It is perfect for me.. It did take abit to learn how to drive because I had a smaller car... But was easy to learn... It is the perfect truck for me and my two dogs... Wanted the half doors and 6 foot bed for hauling my kayak and whatever else I need hauling.
Bobby C on February 19, 2021
Everything is still running great with higher mileage and no major issues
Love the way it handles and drives. Easy to keep maintenance up
William H on February 12, 2021
Good Quality truck for your transportation
Great vehicle good on gas easy to drive comfortable good ac would recommend it for anyone slight problems with coils off and on but respectable and dependable
Tim R on February 11, 2021
It's solid and dependable! It starts easy and rarely has issues.
I like the power and the ride. The gas mileage isn't very good but I knew that when I bought it. I'm the original owner and have over 200k miles on it. It's been a good vehicle,
Michelle A on February 8, 2021
My Ford comes with a triton v8 engine. As a plus there is more power.
My vehicle is really good with performance. I'd say every aspect from appearance to the quality of the parts in the engine. Although, there are problems with some minor things. Most of the issues are just mandatory maintenance things that have got to be checked and changed frequently. Over all I am satisfied with my vehicle and reliability.
Ashley A on February 6, 2021
I love my husbands truck I drive it daily.
Almost 200 thousand miles still going strong just replicated the alternator last year and battery this year new tires and good as new again never have any problems out of it except keeping the gas tank full but what can you expect from a 2004 v8 truck??
Carl R on January 29, 2021
It's all good what else can I say
It's really good on gas and it is really comfortable to Drive. It will tow anything I haven't had no problem with it at all
Michael D on January 22, 2021
Honest opinion of my 15 year old truck.
Its a 2004 F150 so maintenance is to be expected. Have had the front end totally replaced due to age. Runs strong, its comfortable and reliable. Plenty of room for the family. The 5 ft bed can be challenging sometimes but for the most part its large enough to haul what I need.
Cody S on January 21, 2021
It sucks as an everyday driver.
It is just rough riding as far as comfortability goes, the tires wear down so fast I have put 2 sets on them in the past 6 months. I find it to be ridiculous. It is also drinking a lot of oil and gas. My dad looked at it but he said he didn't know what wrong with, and he’s the best mechanic in our town.
Bruce R on January 17, 2021
It's very useful and has great style. I like 4 wheel drive.
I like the style and equipment packages. I like riding high in a truck. Don't like it's gas mileage.
Claire S on January 17, 2021
2004 Ford f-150, very reliable and long-lasting.
My vehicle is very reliable and has had very few maintenance issues, even though it is fairly old. I frequently drive it long distances and it never has any problems and has held up very well. It has a very spacious interior making it easy to transport groups of people. The large bed of the truck is very useful and has had no issues or damage at all.
Willie on January 15, 2021
Great truck had for 16 years 182,000 miles
Every vehicle has problems you don't know what or when its gonna happen, people complain about machines it's a machine all of them breaks even at your job
Mark R Gruver on January 15, 2021
For the true 'sport truck' enthusiast.
I bought my 04' Lightning used & thought it was the ultimate sport truck until I started to find all of the high performance aftermarket products available. After investing over $17k I feel it is NOW a true sport truck. I love it but I would only recommend it for the select few that want don't mind spending more money to achieve the high level of performance most aficionados desire.
Nadia P on January 15, 2021
Best truck for anybody's first.
This truck has been amongst the best vehicles I have owned relative to reliability and cost of ownership. The comfort beats most cars I have driven, and there's apparently nothing it cannot carry or tow easily. I really enjoy how the cab just fits. I love having 7 cup holders within reach from the driver's seat. The vents look nice and are very easy to adjust without breaking. The power is good on this truck for what I need.
Zack M on January 13, 2021
That model of the F-150 is known to have timing issues for various reasons
Have had problems with the coil packs when they become wet. You cannot go over puddles very quickly or clean your motor with water or you'll have to change them.
Michelle V on January 13, 2021
We can fit our family inside while hauling something bulky in the truck bed.
It is comfortable. It is quiet. It rides very smooth. I prefer the body style of that year. It is double cab so we can fit our whole family in it at once.
Brittany S on January 5, 2021
My Family's Favorite Ford
Our F150 has been very reliable with minimal repairs needed, spacious enough for the whole family and a large bed for all our things. Seats are comfortable enough for long road trips and gets surprisingly good gas mileage for an older truck, about 35 mpg Hwy.
Sarah G on December 30, 2020
The leather seats are super cooling and I love that for the summer time.
I love it because it's a smooth drive and super dependable and I have had it for years and it's never given me trouble I have gone to Austin Tx about 5 time in it and that's 3 hours going and back and it's a really good truck and I would recommend Ford to anyone.
Mark L on December 26, 2020
Joys and problems of a 04 Ford f150
It takes up too much gas and it's too big to drive or find parking in the city. It is very comfortable and roomy inside the vehicle. Since it is old, there were a lot of maintenance issues I had to fix like the power steering and the rust on the step railing.
Tammy F on December 25, 2020
2004 Ford f-150 4 wheel drive. Roomy and dependable comfortable ride.
My Ford f150 4 wheel drive has not caused me any problems. It is very comfortable to r8de in it has been very dependable. Has lots of room. It also has a hard shell bed cover that I love. Very well taken care of the interior looks brand new. Very comfortable and roomy to ride in even with 3 grandkids.
Katrina C on December 11, 2020
I will buy another ford f150 for our next vehicle
Very reliable, never had any issues, starts every time. Never stalls. But I believe it's the way you take care of a vehicle. Must keep up maintenance regularly, must change oil on time change spark plugs. Put good gas in it. Change breaks when needed.
Jerry H on December 10, 2020
04-09 f150 has the best body styles, last of the metal body's.
The only major problem is my cam phasers and guides on my timing chain. It's really expensive to fix this very common problem. Should be a recall on it! Other than that I have had no other issue at all but regular maintenance. I've drove it from Houston to Dallas at least 50 times and from Houston to Louisiana about 20 times. My truck has a sunroof, leather seats, back up camera, nice sound system and chrome 20 inch wheels. I'm keeping my truck until the end of my day. I would rather rebuild the motor than by a new truck. The body style that year was the best!
Darcie C on December 6, 2020
I have been watching YouTube videos and it seems there can be problems with the spark plugs getting stuck. I'm far from a mechanic but from what I understand, the materials of the spark plug and engine head, when hot for long periods, can fuse together. So, look into this before purchasing.
This is only my second ford vehicle. I do like it a lot more than the first. It's a smooth ride and it's comfortable. My only complaint is that it doesn't have enough take off power. Also, no power windows but that manageable.
Daniel W on December 1, 2020
Very dependable, holds resale value.
Great truck, have put 70,000 miles on it and have not had to do anything but replace the tires, oil, and brake pads. Rides smooth.
Steven C on November 28, 2020
Not great gas mileage with a v8 motor and towing package
I like the truck very much but it is getting some age on it.
Gina S on November 28, 2020
It has been very well maintained.
I like the Ford f-150 pickup truck because it serves us well as far as comfort... I like the Ford f-150 because it is paid for and we can update any problems affordable... I dislike the fact that it has half back doors and no seat..
Donna B on November 26, 2020
Great truck with a lot of life

Has lots of room and very comfortable for long trips.
We have had truck since 2005 no problems only change oil and filters and put new tires on. Very reliable.

I am well pleased with Ford cars and trucks.
The truck runs very well. It is the fourth Ford vehicle that I have owned. I find it to be very soundly built. The controls are well laid out, and easy to use. The air conditioner works well as does the heater. It can also carry a heavy load.
