With a revised Dodge Ram on sale for 2006 and a brand-new, Texas-built Toyota Tundra on the horizon, Ford is not taking any chances with its F-150 Pickup this year. A limited-edition F-150 Harley-Davidson model debuts, equipped with rear-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive system - a first on an F-150. The Harley truck includes special interior and exterior trim, rich aniline leather upholstery, and 22-inch polished and forged aluminum wheels. Twenty-inch wheels can be ordered for the F-150 FX4, Lariat, and King Ranch this year, and traction control is now available on any 2WD model equipped with a V8 engine.

Summary
Three-weeks-ago I bought a 2007 Ford F-150 XL pickup truck. An even better value, if you can find what you want, is a leftover 2006, of which some do remain on dealer lots as of March 2007. I came extremely close to buying one myself. The truck I...
Strength
Very deep discounts on 2006 models. Basically same truck as 2007.
Weakness
Very limited 2006 selection as of March 2007
Bottom Line
Everything that makes the 2007 F-150 top of its class is just as true of the 2006, along with $2500 higher rebates.
For those who own a 1997-2003 model and are considering a 2004-2007 (new body style / design), these observations on the design changes may help you in your decision. I'll keep each comment brief, as there are many interesting points to discuss. My...

Solid performer, responsive, quiet interior, deep bed, many improvements over 1997-2003 design
Weakness
Low beams focused too close, minor form & fit issues
Bottom Line
Confident ride on & off-road; fantastic track record. Much improved safety rating. Love it!
After visiting the 2006 International Auto Show in Columbus, Ohio, I knew that my next big purchase was going to be a King Ranch F-150 4-door crew cab truck. I expected it to be roomy, and comfortable, with a smooth ride, and full of options. I had...

For the past decade I've been driving both a Dodge Ram and a Toyota 4Runner. This past year I wanted to get rid of them both and get one vehicle, and I settled on the Ford F-150. With my trade-ins I was able get into a Lariat model, which is somewhat...
Strength
Great Ride -- Very Comfortable Seats -- Smooth, Quiet Engine -- Luxurious Yet Rugged.
Weakness
Could Use More Power -- I Can't Think of Anything Else.
Bottom Line
I highly recommend the F-150. Superior handling, ride quality, ruggedness and looks makes this a great truck.
My father recently bought a 2006 F150. 4.2 v6 single cab long bed. He traded in a '98 firebird v6 5speed. I have no idea why, because he has no use for a truck. I've driven the truck quite a bit and can say that it drives like a taurus rather than a...
hood is aluminum, not too smart for hail prone regions! many awesome features set this truck apart from the competition. 5 star crash rating driver and passenger is assuring. this truck is built with more american made parts than any other new vehicle...
Strength
great safety, more american than any other vehicle
Weakness
horrific fuel mileage, brake rotors are crap, front end shimmy
