The 2005 F-150 can last up to 300,000 miles with some spark plug and window problems. At $3,375 – $8,200, it’s a good value for a shopper looking for a dependable truck.
The Good
The towing and payload capacity are better than the competition, there’s less rust than other trucks and the handling is responsive.
The Bad
The extended cab is hard to get in and out of with the small doors, braking distances are long and even the largest V8 is still fairly weak.
Is the 2005 Ford F-150 a Good Used Truck?
- Yes, 2005 is a good year. Owners like the towing capacity, fun driving experience, and spacious cabin.
- Reliability ratings are average for a truck. There are fewer complaints on the 2006 and newer models, but 2005 offers improvements from 2004, which had engine problems.
- Performance is poor from the V6, and the two V8 options are not much more powerful.
- The F-150 is a safe truck, getting a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
- Fuel economy is poor at up to 15 MPG combined.
Positive Owner Reviews
Tina R
Strong, reliable, and sturdy
This truck is sturdy because it is mostly steel as opposed to fiberglass. This truck is very reliable due to it not breaking down very often. This truck is strong because it has a big bed. It can carry up to 6 people comfortably. The gas mileage is decent.
Michael G
It's very reliable. It's very sturdy also. .
It handles great. It's good on gas. Its comfortable. It's a very good truck and my kids love it. It's also good for traveling.

Frank's Truck ! Best Friend I Have!
This Truck is a great vehicle that I love to drive around town and on long trips. I know I can count on my truck to run real good. It uses a good bet of gas, but that is because I have to carry a lot of tools with me. I have owned three ford trucks and I think this is the best one. I only wish I had bought the model that had larger motor. That way if you need the extra power for pulling a large trailer or a load of gravel, at least you know that you have the power to do just about anything.
james S
It's got three hundred thousand miles on it
It's old but I have gotten good service out of it.
Peter F
That it drives good and is spacious.
Like the room and the size of the engine. I like the tires and the rims. Dislike gas mileage and number of miles.
Dana B
Reliable! Gas mileage is the worst thing about it.
Love my f150 supercrew. Very reliable at 130, 000+ miles. Have replaced some of the O2 sensors. Had spark plugs replaced at about 120,000 miles. Have not really had any other major problems. Would buy another in a heartbeat if I could afford. Love blue oval products!
Thelma S
I love my Ford f150 I feel safe!
My Ford f150 is very dependable. It is also durable and spacious. It drives smooth and with a lot of comfort,
Elaine B
The vehicle is best for its dependability
Ford truck has outlasted all other vehicles we had. The vehicle has wonderful look, dependable and great comfort and roomy. The down size is the mileage the vehicle gets which isn't great that is the only downfall. We will definitely purchase another Ford truck.

Rachael H
Terrible engine in my 2005! Had to replace!
Love the space inside the cab. Other than that I would never buy this truck again. I have had to have a brand new engine put in due to a ford malfunction with my year truck that is higher on miles.
Amber B
Huge truck but too big for me
It's just too big for me to drive. I prefer smaller SUV type vehicles because that is what I am comfortable driving but it serves its purpose and gets me where I need to go. Runs great, looks appealing, hauls if it needs to.. Just too big for me personally
Tina D
Not a fan of bad gas mileage.
This vehicle sputters when it starts. Everything is manual. Gas mileage is beyond awful. The factory radio/CD player can only play the radio; the CD portion does not work. If there is nothing in the bed, the vehicle fishtails. The muffler is currently falling off and is barely holding on by a wire to keep it in place.
Mary
2005 Ford f150 5.4 engine, 4x4, 4 door.
This is by far, the crappiest truck I've ever known. It has had tapping sounds since the day I bought it, and now I need a new motor that I can't afford. So I have to figure out, how to get around. My son had the same year, and the same problems. No more Ford trucks for me. My mechanic said he had a lot of these 2005 trucks brought in for the same thing.
Miles F
My truck is a 2005 model and is still going strong
I like having head room and a 4x4. I don't like not having an aux port and the dash rattling.
Amanda H
My crappy 2005 ford, f150.
I've owned the truck for sometime, I would like to get a car that's more comfortable but the truck was my dads, I have a hard time getting in and out, and it seems to never stop squeaking, no matter how many times I get it fixed. It's also a gas hog. I have doctor appointments a whole town away and gas is a joke when I put gas in it, 20 dollars only gets me to my wall mart twice and Walmart is legit not even 10 minutes from my house. Also m6 key always sticks and I am terrified it will break in the ignition one day.
David C
Reliability. Handles well. Good suspension. Good power.
It runs good. Has descent power. Has a lot of room. Safety features. Good gas mileage. Lots of bed space. Comfortable ride.
Jonathan G
I keep it regularly and properly maintained.
It is a white 2005 Ford f-150 with V6. It has 4 doors and a excited cab. The performance is good it just has a loud exhaust. It is very reliable it get me everywhere I need to go no problem. Oh did I mention it has 6 seats. Although riding in middle front seat of very uncomfortable.
What Do Critics Say About the F-150?
- Consumer Reports finds the F-150 to ride comfortably, and it has above average owner satisfaction scores.
- Edmunds gives the F-150 a 4.5/5 liking the handling, but interior storage space is limited.
- Kelley Blue Book users give the F-150 a 4.6/5 and enjoy the towing capabilities, but repairs are expensive.
What Common Problems Does the 2005 Ford F-150 Have?
Problems with the 2005 F-150 include broken power window regulators, spark plug issues, and transmission failures.
Power window regulator failures are very common at around 60,000 miles. The regulator wears out sooner than other cars and prevents the windows from opening and closing. Replacing the part costs about $300.
Broken spark plugs are another frequent complaint from owners at around 1,000 miles. The spark plugs tend to snap when they’re removed. Extracting the plugs and fixing the threads can cost up to $1,000.
Transmission failures are mentioned on some trucks at around 82,000 miles. There is a replacement gear drum available which fixes the problem. Rebuilding the transmission with the new parts costs about $2,500.
There are 14 recalls, with the most serious being for a fuel leak at the filter which could cause a fire. Most of the other recalls cover the lights and reflectors.
How Long Will the 2005 Ford F-150 Last?
A properly maintained 2005 F-150 can last up to 300,000 miles, slightly longer than competitors including the Ram 1500. Regular annual maintenance costs are expensive, according to Repair Pal, at $650 per year.
Most 2005 F-150s have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace the water pump for $700, transmission oil pan gaskets costing $275, and the power seat motor which costs $500.
Toshina H
It has been very reliable truck! Besides for basic wear and tear that you get with any vehicle, it has been a great truck. My husband loves that truck!
Gregory P
My truck has proven very reliable and given many years of consistent service. I would recommend f150 trucks to anyone looking for a great truck.
Ashley W
Very reliable but it did have small issues like the window switch needed to be replaced BC the wire went bad, also the spark plugs were an issue.
Kari M
The only problem we have had with it is a dead battery and some idle adjustment. We do have to wiggle the window button to get it to go up again sometimes, but other than that, there has been no one major problem with it.
Rick B
We have only had normal maintenance issues and not major breaks. We have owned her since 2005 when she was built and will keep her until she absolutely dies.
Heidi G
Yes, it is very reliable and runs very smoothly. When I go a long distance, it takes up a lot of gas, but other than that, I can trust it for everyday use.
Penny L
Not now we had to replace a lot of parts on it like the spark plug oil air filter gas cap car place fixed some stuff
Marcy L
The brakes go out fast some time it could handle better in the snow but that's a give and take with most trucks and cars these days
How Much Is the 2005 Ford F-150 Worth?
Blue book prices range from $3,375 – $8,200, making the F-150 about $1,000 cheaper than a Nissan Titan or Chevy Silverado. When new, the price range was $20,475 to $40,090. Depreciation is similar to rivals, losing about 5% of its current value per year.
What are the Different Models of the F-150?

What Engines Come In the F-150?
- The base engine is a weak 4.2L V6 which has 202 horsepower, 260 lb.-ft. of torque, and gets up to 15 MPG combined.
- A step up is the slightly more powerful 4.6L V8 offering 231 horsepower, 293 lb.-ft. of torque, and up to 15 MPG combined.
- The most powerful engine is the 5.4L V8 with 300 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft. of torque which gets 14 MPG. The towing capacity is better than other half-ton rivals at up to 9,500 pounds.
What Colors Does the F-150 Come In?
How Big Is the F-150?
The F-150 is an average sized half-ton truck, similar to the Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500. Three cabin configurations are available including a 2-door regular cab, 4-door extended cab, and larger 4-door crew cab. Passenger space is great in the backseats of the crew cab model.
There are three bed lengths as well, including a 5-foot-6-inch short bed, 6-foot-6-inch regular bed, and 8-foot long bed.
How Does the F-150 Compare to the Competition?
The Dodge Ram 1500 is a popular competitor costing $600 less. Where the Ram stands out is with a nicer interior, but reliability ratings are better in the F-150. We recommend the F-150 since it will last longer, and can tow more weight.
The Toyota Tundra is another rival which costs around $1,300 more. Reliability ratings are better in the Tundra, but the F-150 has a higher towing capacity with a more powerful engine. We recommend the Tundra since they are the longest-lasting half-ton truck on the market.

Do Owners Recommend the Ford F-150?
Toshina H
Yes! We love it as a family vehicle and a work truck. My husband works in construction and sometimes we need the kids' car seats with us when working! I love the leg room when we go out of town. Its stylish enough for a date with my husband yet tough enough for him to get the job done.
Gregory P
Yes it is dependable and strong for work and any terrain. I use my truck to tow a trailer and to get to various job sites around town.
Ashley W
Yes definitely worth my money, it is has amazing power and it is an older model. I will definitely be getting another ford when the one I have stops running I am very happy with my truck.
Kari M
This is a very good truck to own. It is a sturdy and strong design, 4x4, electric windows, rear cab, and good on gas.
Rick B
Definitely, it provides all our needs for transportation that our harley does not. As we live in a very rural area we need a truck that covers many needs. It is far more dependable than our friends families general motors or dodge products. We have always owned ford f-150's.
Harry T
Yes. It is trustworthy and runs very well. Also it is nice and affordable, so I can have the best running car for less. Also, it doesn't look that bad.
Cathleen M
Yes it works really well takes us where we need to go hauls our camper fine our boat hulls our trash off no problem
Francis J
Yes I enjoy driving the truck it does what need it to it has decide gas mileage it has not let me down yet have only replace a few thing on it that go on every truck

Great trucj
With regular oil changes I have 408,000 miles and has never had any engine work!
Steve B on May 20, 2021
Best four wheel drive around.
My Ford f150 truck with the 5. 4 liter v8 is a awesome vehicle with plenty of power and torque. It is capable of any job or chore that I have yet to encounter- it has been very dependable and has only required routine maintenance. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone needing a tough, dependable vehicle.
Trish S on March 28, 2021
Ford F-150's are the best!
I love my Ford F-150, Supercab. It is very comfortable to drive and performances well for what I need it to do. The only issue I've had with it in the 12 years I've had it was the intact gaskets needed to be replaced last year.
Amber B on March 28, 2021
Huge truck but too big for me
It's just too big for me to drive. I prefer smaller SUV type vehicles because that is what I am comfortable driving but it serves its purpose and gets me where I need to go. Runs great, looks appealing, hauls if it needs to.. Just too big for me personally
Rachel Y on March 23, 2021
Overall good truck for the price.
We really like the comfort the ford f-150 has. Plenty of room for our family. With a baby and a hundred pound dog, we still have room! We love the large truck bed for when we need to mainly help our friends move! Not the easiest on gas but that's okay. We knew what we were signing up for when we got it! We have had a few problems with it but it is an older vehicle so we need to keep up with her!
Miles F on March 21, 2021
My truck is a 2005 model and is still going strong
I like having head room and a 4x4. I don't like not having an aux port and the dash rattling.
Chris K on March 18, 2021
Definitely get auto locks and windows.
Well made vehicle, only had typical problems that come with age. Regular maintenance and this vehicle will always run well. Handles well. Only wish would've gotten automatic windows and locks.
Sherry L on March 17, 2021
We always drive Ford trucks because they hold up to what ever we need them to.
We drive the Ford because we haul a lot of things. Everything fits perfect. Even if we have a big full load. The truck is able to handle the big loads with no problem. It is very comfortable with plenty of room in the cab of truck. Love the Ford trucks.
Diana R on March 16, 2021
I own a red Ford f-150 2005. The motor and transmission are great.
I have never had any problems. It is reliable and comfortable. It performance is great. The motor runs smooth. The inside of the car make it very comfortable. I had never had a problem with the motor or transmission. Only thing I have change are the tires which had worn out.
Jordan on March 15, 2021
Love the truck!
Bought my truck with 246000 miles. Still shifts good. Besides needing the tires balanced it drives well even at 75-80 on the interstate. Only issue I’ve had put the truck in first on and incline and within minutes it rolled back 12 ft. Heat/ac still work. Still has a lot of life and power in her. Love the straight drive! If looking to buy. I highly recommend the 4.2 unless your looking for v8 hauling power.
Renee B on March 13, 2021
Its reliable and has rarely had any repair issues in the 168,000 miles on the truck.
It is my husbands truck and we use it for carrying heavy loads. It has come in handy when transporting furniture, building materials and much more. Plus my husband uses it when he goes fishing.
Mike P on March 13, 2021
Runs great with no problems.
This workhorse of a truck has served me well. Only after 150, 000 + miles did I have to take it in for some front end work. Motor is still going strong and it hauls what I need it to haul.
Tammy B on March 11, 2021
Comfortable, drives nice.
I love my truck. It has great performance. It is super easy to drive. I haven't had any major problems.
Jason B on March 11, 2021
Strong running good truck. Perfect for my everyday needs. No engine trouble or transmission problems. Smooth running truck love it.
It is a Ford I would only drive or buy a Ford truck.
Daniel H on March 2, 2021
Beautiful truck, Ford is the best
Great truck, I have never has any issue with it. I take care of it really well. Run great, not so great on gas but gets me where I need to go and back.
Gina A on March 2, 2021
It drives very smooth and tows great.
The truck is great. I get about 15 miles to the gallon. Sometimes it is gets pricey filling the 20 gallon tank a these gas prices. I have never had any issues with it.
Melissa R on February 28, 2021
Gas is expensive and trucks do not have good gas mileage.
I have owned my truck for the past 7 years and I like it. I have never had any car problems and I love driving a truck. My truck is reliable and comfortable but I do wish there was more room in the backseat of my truck. As far as features, I like that my truck feels like I am driving a car. It is not too wide or long.
JC K on February 28, 2021
Don't get cloth seat option
Reliable mechanically. Like body style. Easy to find parts for
Mel N on February 18, 2021
The seats are very comfortable and spacious.
It's really nice and spacious! The only problem with the car is two things, parking spots and gas tank. It is sometimes difficult to find a parking spot and it is also expensive at times when you buy gas. Reliability is good and I love the style and interior of the car.
Ken L on January 29, 2021
Built Ford Tough and will not leave you stranded.
It's old but trusty. It has never left me stranded. I love It's towing power. It is rusting badly.
Tina R on January 27, 2021
Strong, reliable, and sturdy
This truck is sturdy because it is mostly steel as opposed to fiberglass. This truck is very reliable due to it not breaking down very often. This truck is strong because it has a big bed. It can carry up to 6 people comfortably. The gas mileage is decent.
Christina R on January 26, 2021
It was a truck and I just wanted a simple and used suitable truck.
One time I was driving and the blinker to my truck came off and it completely just came off and I had to go get a new part it pretty much melted off from the heat. I also couldn't use for the longest time I also had to buy new tires because after two months they were all used up and old.
Tammy B on January 19, 2021
Expensive to fix when it has problems.
Expensive to fix, it is comfortable to drive, paint peels around the gas tank, has blind spots when at a stop sign.
JOE H on January 17, 2021
GREAT POWER, STURDY FUN TO DRIVE...STILL IN GREAT SHAPE AFTER 12 YEARS.
GREAT TRUCK BUT TUNEUP COST ME $1,000! 5.4 TRITON SPARK PLUG ISSUES.
lucy p on January 15, 2021
It's trustworthy and won't break down. Parts are expensive.
It has held up very well for an old vehicle. I wish it was easier to get inside and clean up well. It should have come with built-in tied downs in the back since it's a heavy truck made for work.
Erika M on January 5, 2021
An awesome choice of transportation.
My vehicle is very reliable and great for people who are moving. I originally got my f150, because I thought I was getting a dog, plus I needed more room for my newborn. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that loves to go on road trips. This truck is very roomy.
coleen o on December 24, 2020
It's a workhorse and has performed better than we expected it would
It's been a great truck and is at almost 200,00 miles and going strong. Other than routine maintenance and brake replacements all has been pretty good
Claudia B on December 20, 2020
A very interesting detail about my f150 is that it is a ford.
My f150 is awesome. It's a Ford, what do you expect. These vehicles will always go no matter what. Even if you're late on their maintenance. They are seriously durable and get awesome gas mileage. They are very comfortable to drive and the parts are not that expensive.
Greg Briscoe on December 15, 2020
Solid vehicle
I own a 2005 f150 and a 2020 impala and always jump into the 150 when I'm off to work I just love it
Chris M on December 8, 2020
Best truck for your money.
The 2005 Ford f150 is a really excellent car for its money. Purchased in 2005, it has been used every day since. With over 280000 miles on the engine, it has really withstood the test of time. It has been in 3 accidents, and has kept my family safe through each one of them. It has a little wear and tear on it, but we were able to resurrect it a few times. The biggest issue we had was replacing the transmission. At 260, 000 miles the transmission went, but we were able to fix the truck afterwards. The best part of it, is the convenience. Everyone always needs a truck. The towing package has been put through the ringer, and has towed in upwards of double the weight it is rated for. The extended bed is extremely convenient for construction, family Christmas trees, or a night of camping with the boy scouts. The only issue the truck presents my family is the gas-guzzling feature. This thing tears through the gas tank. This is typical of a car from the time.
Ella A on November 25, 2020
Takes a lot of money to fill up the truck.
I like that it can transport large items and seats a good amount of people. It is not as comfortable on long trips though.
LUISA O on November 24, 2020
Strong, spacious, comfortable.
Ford F150 4 x 3 2005, strong vehicle, 17 mpg is good for this truck, bed capacity 1000 lbs is perfect for landscaping and the towing adds more. Cabin is wide, back seats spacious, for adults very comfortable.
Sean D on November 22, 2020
I love the interior and the large space in the cab. It's motor is a bit cheap and has some issues but runs well.
It has been reliable and easy to maintain, other than a few costly things early on.
jay A on November 21, 2020
It consumes huge amounts of gasoline so you are limited to taking short trips to be economically feasible
Worst part it the fuel consumption. Other than that the vehicle is superb in every way
Alexis W on November 21, 2020
It is a stick shift, and you have to be careful because the shift knob is currently loose, if you pop it into 2, 4 or R too hard it can come off in your hand
I like that it is a stick shift. I dislike the cab size. It is a comfortable drive.
Charlie G on November 20, 2020
Built ford tough hey there you go
A lot of problems with spark plugs from those years of trucks. The plugs keep blowing out snd striping the threads.
Ricardo Chavez on November 19, 2020
Issues with clutch??
I have the STX with the rear doors that open the opposite direction but no rear seats. It's a manual transmission and I really like my truck. The only problems that I have had is the alternator and the clutch. In the 8 years that I have had it, I have changed the alternator 3 times and the clutch 4 times. I am guessing that the clutch will never be the same again. I am to blame for lending it out to idiots who don't know how to drive a manual transmission. Anyone out there who has had similar problems with the clutch on their 2005 F150?? Would appreciate any feedback.
Frank R on November 17, 2020
Frank's Truck ! Best Friend I Have!
This Truck is a great vehicle that I love to drive around town and on long trips. I know I can count on my truck to run real good. It uses a good bet of gas, but that is because I have to carry a lot of tools with me. I have owned three ford trucks and I think this is the best one. I only wish I had bought the model that had larger motor. That way if you need the extra power for pulling a large trailer or a load of gravel, at least you know that you have the power to do just about anything.
Amy S on November 14, 2020
Love that it drives like a snail.
Has been very reliable, performance is good. No problems have occurred from the vehicle. Lasted very long time with no problems for its year, very pleased with its reliability.
Nicholas V on November 12, 2020
F-150 STX good value for the money
It has been very reliable all these years. Besides regular maintenance the only issues I had to address were the alternator and replacing both front bearings
Donald E on November 10, 2020
The truck is highly dependable.
I enjoy the comfort and ride of my Ford f 150. It handles well, has plenty of power. I find it a pleasure to drive on a daily basis. The interior is spacious and gives plenty of headroom and legroom.
Cody D on October 22, 2020
Awesome truck!!!! The f150 but....
It's a 5.3 triton motor this motor is know for the spark plugs breaking off when changing. I've been told by my mechanic that this only happens when they're not properly changed. It is a great truck other than this potential problem. Plenty of hauling power plenty of room I have a crew cab.
Oscar R on October 19, 2020
My vehicle is great. For anyone that is thinking about getting a Ford.
My vehicle is great. Takes me to where I have to go And hasn't broken down on me in few years. Everything in it works. Drives great no shakes nor anything. Has enough space for a certain amount of people. Steering wheel is great And gas mileage is great. Doesn't use much gas and And it's enough on full tank to get to where I want. Enough space in it to install things. I feel safe in it while drive and was great price when I got it.
David C on October 13, 2020
Reliability. Handles well. Good suspension. Good power.
It runs good. Has descent power. Has a lot of room. Safety features. Good gas mileage. Lots of bed space. Comfortable ride.

Wilma T on September 28, 2020
We have driven this vehicle for over 13 years! We enjoy driving it!
The 2005 Ford F-150 has been the best vehicle for our family! It's dependable, durable, and has been a blessing to us! Would definitely buy this model again!
Christie C on September 28, 2020
An interested detail about the truck is that it has come in lots of handy when going camping
Never had a major problems with the vehicle even though its an older model just needs some minor fixes like changing the tires or doing tune ups mainly making sure to have maintenance on the vehicle
Melanie J on September 27, 2020
It is a diesel and it has 350,000 miles on it and it still runs great.
It rides great. It is red. It is a truck. It is a diesel and the gas is expensive.
Paul W on September 23, 2020
Ford pick-up good reliable truck.
Drives well good gas mileage fairly comfortable has good pick up has a split bench seat power windows power outside mirrors do not like that it takes two levers to put down front seat gives a good view of the road high enough to see over most traffic steers smoothly have only owned for a couple of months.
Aaron K on September 13, 2020
Had to replace the entire engine. But I still love the truck.
The oil pump went out and my engine was destroyed and had to be replaced. Otherwise it is great. I am satisfied with it is miles per gallon. Although I will be looking for much higher numbers next time I purchase a vehicle. Also it needs a AUX port. I imagine the newer models have them.
Josh H on September 8, 2020
Why I love my Ford pickup.
05 F150 4x4 lariat. Heated seat leather seats wood grain interior 5. 4L triton two tone dark green and tan colors. 5. 4L puts out 300 horsepower. Moonroof. Crew cab. 3 Speed automatic transmission. Handles on road and off-road very nicely. Lots of aftermarket availability for the body, interior, and performance of the truck. A all around great truck.
