Ford Explorer: 2004 F-150

To hit some of the high points I made in a post nearly two weeks ago - it's
too early to tell about durability. Some of the new manufacturing techniques
and material usage are interesting to say the least. R&P steering is a nice
addition as are the coil over front shocks.

The frame may be a bone of contention - fully boxed from one end to the
other, the material is thinner than we are used to.... I have no doubts of
it's strength but adding frame mounted accessories will become more exacting
than it has in the past - particularly in regards to fifth wheel hitches.

The only reason I could find for not buying one is that my heart is now set
on a 6.0 SuperDuty.

OK.... we got our first regular cab F4 in today..... interesting concept....
very short supercab type doors on a regular cab. Sure makes it easy to get
to stuff behind the seats but seems like a good deal of expense for the
privilege.
