With the Ford F-150 being the most popular and best-selling pickup truck for over twenty years, Ford knew it was doing something right. Ford has worked hard to maintain all the features that have made the F-150 so popular every year, while continually striving to improve on safety, comfort, and work capability.
In 2004, the F-150 became almost a whole new truck, and the effort was worth it for Ford with more customer satisfaction and better reviews. With the 2005 Ford F-150, design, model variation, comfort and work capacity have improved even more. With previous concerns about the pickup’s safety features, safety has been one of the biggest factors in the new design of the Ford F-150. Added high-strength steel and more energy absorption are two new features that make the cab a safer place to be.
The 2005 Ford F-150 boasts the biggest line-up yet, with the addition of the top-of-the-line King Ranch model, and a new V6 model and work truck version. There is still a wide choice of bed and cab configurations to choose from for all models, along with more than one choice of V8 engine. The Ford F-150 still leads in towing capacity and payload for the half-ton pickup class.
One of the features that have kept the F-150 on top is the quiet ride and exceptional handling capabilities. Though the 2005 Ford F-150 is larger and heavier than the previous versions, handling has not been compromised, and comfort has shown even more improvement.
Pricing on the 2005 Ford F-150 is widely variable with all the models that are available. The King Ranch comes in at the highest price end with luxury features including wood trim, seating for five and stitched saddle leathers. At the lower price end is the new work truck model and the V6.
This Ford truck has been around a long time, and with Ford continuously improving on what many consider to be the best, the F-150 will be hard to beat for a long time to come.
