This idea is not original with me - a similar topic is on a Chevy forum, but I though it would be interesting, and maybe helpful for some of us, to find out what others have had to do to their trucks.

I'll start: '02 F150 SuperCrew 5.4 Lariat 4 door - I've had my truck one year, bought with 47k original miles, 52k miles now.

My only repair has been the remote outside mirror switch.

An interesting note: F150 is highest selling vehicle in America, right? I visit Chevy forums and noticed that there are WAY more posts on those sites for help. More Chevy owners seeking truck help than Ford owners... hmmm. Maybe Ford is a tad better in real life usage? I traded my '96 Chevy 5.7L for my present F150 just because of the troubles I had with it - fuel pump, $750, transmission - $1,700, and anti-freeze odor when I traded it on the F150. I was concerned about the famous intake manifold gasket repair would be my next at about $700... How's your F150 doing?

The only thing I have had to repair on my 02 5.4 with 80,000 miles is replacing the thermostat. Other than that just your simple maintenance: brakes, oil changes, and flushes.

03' F150 Lariat FX4. Bought with 64.5k miles now 81k miles.

Besides regular maintance...

Replaced my cv boot, and have to replace it again. But I offroad alot and hard... and my torsion bars were cranked a little to much. Though others don't seem to have this problem.

I'll prob do a full tune up soon.

Sparkplugs, fluid flush, ect ect.
