Knock on wood, no real problems here either. 2005 Lariat with 67K daily driver and the only things I have replaced are the crappy factory tires and the only bulb I've replaced was a rear blinker!

Bought an 05 lariat supercrew 4x4 in October with 107k on it. It's my daily driver, has 115,500 now. STILL has factory battery which is tested everytime it is serviced, no problems yet, does have the quiet low diesel sound at warm idle, which I have decide to "fix" by turning the radio on. Love the ride, really like it, it's my first Ford truck(always had GM but they suck now) and now that I know the quirks(lash adjusters tap sometimes, injectors chatter on cold start) I like it more all the time.
Hope to get 200k out of it......that's my goal!

Guess I'll join in with my 05 fx4 with 114,000 miles. I've had it since new and only plugs, coils and brakes. This is the longest I've ever owned a vehicle, I keep saying I'm gonna trade her in, then I buy headlights, think about trading and then do another mod. I just can't part with this truck, it has always run great, still looks and drives great. Just can't see the point of having a payment just to have square headlights and a new interior. Think I'll keep her for a couple more years.

I love My truck! 204000 miles and nothing but normal wear/maintenance items. Replaced front bumper after a dance with a guard rail which also prompted replacing front hubs/bearings after one started making noise. changed rear bearings cause the seals started leaking and I figured while I was in there I might as well. Have had the Phaser noise for about 70K Miles but it still goes away over 1200 rpm so I'm good. Now if I could just afford Gas!

Nothing wrong with mine right now. Its an '06 with 104k and it runs and drives great.
I had to get the rearend rebuilt at 96k but that was the only real major thing Ive had to do to it. A few minor things like backup sensors (not cheap though) and multifunction switch (turn signal wouldnt work) but for the most part its been ok for the 3 years and 56k Ive owned it.
