Had a Chevy for 2 years with a lot of problems. Parents only drive Fords with great luck, so decided to go with it. Bought an 04 XLT and within 20,000 miles, they had replaced the lifters, cam followers, a cylinder head, throttle body, outside trim panel, sunroof motor, window motor, window trim piece, and more that I can't seem to remember. Still having engine/idling problems that the dealer has seen, but of course the truck won't act up when on the computer. Have had the truck since April of '04, and it has been in the shop for a total of 9 1/2 weeks, and the cost to Ford for parts, labor and rental is over $9,000.00. Ford is very picky about which service shop repairs anything, so make sure that you buy from a dealer with a great service department, because with this vehicle, you will need it. Truck will definately be gone before Warranty is up. Will never buy another Ford again.
