Founder, David Breslow's Vehicle Review: "Starring a new world class truck with a luxurious quality interior you'd swear came from Italy or Germany (complete with real stitching even on the seams of the dashboard), and an independent suspension eliminating bucking bronco truck rides. In so many ways, the F-150 kicks the bar up a notch."

The F-150 boasts revolutionary new interiors and the industry's widest variety of configurations. It leads its class in towing, payload capacity, cargo box volume, low-end torque, frame strength and interior quietness. Never before have so many new levels of toughness, drivability and comfort been crafted into a full-size pickup. America's truck is the 2004 F-150."
