What Owners Say
"Good acceleration with the v-8 engine. Has good steering and handling. Good load capacity."
Anonymous, FL (2003 Ford F-150)"Excellent acceleration."
Anonymous, TN (2003 Ford F-150)"The acceleration and handling continues to astound. Even after 15+ years, it can out-perform most stock vehicles. It's exhilarating to drive in good weather, but ranges from touch to scary during inclement weather."
Edward G., VA (2003 Ford F-150)"Drives great for truck with stick shift transmission."
Bruce I., OR (2003 Ford F-150)"Bumpy, springy ride. We have the truck for the reliability, not for the ride."
Anonymous, NC (2003 Ford F-150)"Ford SVT Lightning handles and accelerates great. Fun to drive."
Richard P., LA (2003 Ford F-150)"It has been a great truck and I use it for hauling my horses"
Anonymous, VA (2003 Ford F-150)"View and acceleration"
Anonymous, LA (2003 Ford F-150)"This is a very big vehicle, both in size and horsepower- V8. It handles well and being able to raise and lower the pedals along with running boards help me to have a better experience driving. I am 5’ tall. This is primarily my husbands vehicle. Actually I cannot even get into his truck without the running boards."
Kathleen P., NY (2003 Ford F-150)"V-8 runs very smooth and drives great"
Jerry B., MO (2003 Ford F-150)"I do some off roading. It will take me anywhere I have guts enough to go. I hunt and fish. It does everything I expect of it with no problems. I have driven it 22000 since I bought it in 2014 used. Would I buy it again? Absolutely"
Anonymous, CT (2003 Ford F-150)"Good acceleration and handling. No hesitation on acceleration ever.. no issues with sway, with or without a load. Handling good with 3000 pound trailer."
David L., NY (2003 Ford F-150)"gets me across town every day for work"
Laura W., AK (2003 Ford F-150)"Handling in turns leaves something to be desired but then I am comparing this to a Mini Cooper which is not a fair comparison."
Anonymous, CA (2003 Ford F-150)"Fast and hanldes nicely going 4 wheeling"
Anonymous, AZ (2003 Ford F-150)"Should have purchased with a V8, instead of V6. The V6 gas mileage is no better than the V8."
Anonymous, GA (2003 Ford F-150)"If not for the long wheel base I would say this truck handles very well. With the big engine the acceleration is very good even when hauling a loaded trailer."
Paul G., ME (2003 Ford F-150)"The torque and pickup from a standing position are impressive. It is easy to spin the wheels. In fact, when someone rides with me or drives this vehicle they are very impressed with it's "take off" if you give it the gas. It is easy to operate and drive and behaves well on the various road surfaces."
Anonymous, WI (2003 Ford F-150)"Very dependable vehicle. Good handling when towing or carrying a load. Just a little hesitation when you kick in the passing gear."
Robert M., OK (2003 Ford F-150)
"Fuel mileage is not good- averages 15"
