2004 FORD F-150 Regular Cab 4.6L V8 (8 ft. bed)

Vehicle Overview

The eleventh generation of the most sold vehicle worldwide, the F150 series, was introduced in 2003 as a 2004 model year.

The Ford F-150 represents one of the most important vehicles in the American carmaker lineup. By 2003, it was evident that it had to keep its standards and continuously improved the most notorious pickup-truck. Along with the new generation, Ford introduced some stylistic changes that made the vehicle unique on the market.

For the regular-cab version, Ford installed a small window behind the doors, like an extended-cab model. The dipped-down front side of the door-windows, like the Ford Super Duty series. The carmaker offered the F150 with a regular or extended bed. The former was mostly used for off-road enthusiasts. In the 4×4 version, the F150 sported closed-loop tow hooks at the front.

Inside, there was a car-like interior, with a wide center stalk and silver trims. The wide center console featured cup-holders good enough for a big-gulp pop can. Ford re-arranged the dials on the instrument cluster and placed the small gauges for fuel-level, coolant-temperature, ammeter, and oil pressure between the big speedometer and tachometer. All versions sported a floor-mounted gear selector for the automatic transmission.

Under the hood, Ford installed a choice of three gasoline engines that provided between 202 hp and 300 hp. It was available with rear- or all-wheel-drive.
