The Story of Buying My 2004 f150 Fx4 & Why I Love This Truck!

Yeah, I have head nightmare stories of the 3v 5.4l I have a 2v and it has its issues but for the most part I have figured it out. Cool video tho running through the story of the truck and real owner experiences. Lot of times you just get the mechanics point of view. Keep it up 👍

In the process of dumping money into my 04 fx4 flareside. Can't get rid of the ol girl. Just a ton of fun, sounds great. Looks agressive without going down that road of being some pavement princess an still being able to take her on a good trail.

Got an 04 that has never had issues, just cracked 300k miles. Also have on 02 Dakota 6 cylinder w 280k miles, another motor w horrible reviews...luck of the draw I guess

I built ford f150 lariat 5.4 2005 I love this truck 🔥💪🦍

I just brought an 2004 Ford F-150 Triton Crewcab for $2800, with 115,000 miles one owner!

Nice truck!

My father just gave me his 2006 f150 with 277k miles and she runs great for now . And I’m doing some lights upgrades also …

I went for a 4.6L because 5.3L is proven to be hell

If you are a good mechanic that can replace the timing system, oil pump, roller followers, and exhaust manifolds, this is a good truck. 200K on mine, and it's still running strong!
Add to this list of necessary repairs replacement of the rear window seal.

Just picked up a 2010 f150 with about 150000 miles… 8k ish

I always liked the FX4 stock rims better than the Lariat ones.2004-2008 style

I had an 06 5.4 3v that was grey and I never had paint peeling but my 04 4.6 has red paint and there's not a lick of good clear coat on it but it runs and drives so much better

Use castrol edge 5/30 oil.

These large trucks are starting to play out go back to mid-size trucks in between midsize and these

Ford F150👍

I have an 04 5.4 3v triton with 220,000 runs great!

My 5.4 is good with Mobil one

Just purchased exactly same truck 140k miles for 4K. I’ve never been a fan of ford but been wanting a project truck for a low price and it’s all I could find in my area so we’ll see how it goes 😂

MY SON JUST PICKED UP AN 2004 F150 FX4 AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T BECOME A NIGHTMARE FOR HIM 🙏🏿

See roller follower noise of Mak-u-Loco Ford Tech channel. He is amazing. I’m from Montana and these trucks do well with synthetic and valve train mods. No problems yet at 140k miles.

Have a 2007 5.4L, 170k miles with 2WD. Only issue has been the cylinder misfires 70k miles ago. Fixed it for $1500 and no issues right now.

Hows the rust?

I love my 07 F150. Has the 5.4L Triton 3V and have not had any real issues with it. Paid 8k cash for it two years ago and its still under 150k miles. Very young for its age. These trucks get a bad rep due to poor ownership but these trucks are still actively on the road as work trucks and they still look good. You are right about these trucks looking newer than what they are. I love the body style. I wish Ford would remake this truck with newer modern features.

Every one i know that has a 5.4l myself included loved the 5.4l 3v mine did not have the tick it was a f250 its the same but difderent. But shit it was good to me got 220k out of mine before i traded it for a 7.3l excursion

Keep clean oil in them and most 5.4s will give at least 200k without any of those problems.

Put diesel oil in it.. I put diesel rotella oil in mine and it ticks lesser and the thing is 300,000 plus miles the engine has not blown up yet like every cheap negligent 5.4 owners say...

They are 20 year old trucks now but people think mi 04 is a 2018 because another 2015-2020 body style ford in black and slightly lifted with fat tires like mine was parked near mine at a store parking lot... 😛

I have 07 an did the engine mods dumped 3k into beats hell out buying new

I love my 04 F150

I got a hold 2006 with get this 1030000 with very little rust it has 4.6 2 vale engine that runs great if your looking for a cheap truck don't give up I paid ,, 5000 looked for awhile

I bought a 2004 f150.. 100,000 miles 3valve 5.4 T. It puts like a kitten after changing plugs.. argh and manifolds. Double argh. My only concern is the ticking noise that comes after warm up… fingers crossed.
