The 2004-2008 F-150 truck was introduced in January 2003 for the 2004 model year as the redesigned eleventh generation of the F-150 lineup. The Ford F-Series is a sequence of full-size pickup trucks manufactured by Ford, an American automaker, since 1948. F-Series trucks are placed above the Ford Ranger in size. Beginning in 1999, the F-Series included the Super Duty series, marketed as heavy-duty pickup trucks, medium-duty trucks, and chassis cab trucks. The F-Series includes the F-150 pickup truck, F-250 through F-450 pickup trucks, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty chassis cabs, and F-650 and F-750 Super Duty Class 6-8 trucks.

2004-2008 F-150 models were sold in XL, STX, XLT, FX4, and Lariat trim levels. The base XL level included cloth upholstery, a bench seat, a 4.2-liter V6 engine, manual transmission, manual windows and mirrors, and a black grille. The STX level added body-color bumpers, a front seat center armrest, and a body-color grille. The XLT trim level added chrome front and rear step bumpers, a black honeycomb grille, keyless entry, speed control, power windows with locks, automatic headlamps, and a color-coordinated steering wheel. The FX4 trim level added a 5.4-liter Triton V8 engine, FX5 off-road decals, monotone body-color bumpers, off-road shocks, fog lamps, and a black leather-wrapped steering wheel. The top-end Lariat trim level included beige bumpers and two-tone paint, heated mirrors with turn signals, a power driver’s seat, leather-trimmed seats, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and automatic temperature control.

Beginning in December 2005 for the 2006 model year, a fuel-flex version of the three-valve 5.4-liter Triton V8 became available. The SuperCrew model was also sold with a 6.5-inch box. An updated front pumped with circular fog lamps and a smaller bumped vent also distinguishes the 2006-2008 models from the 2004-2005 F-150 models. For the FX4, Lariat, and King Ranch trim levels, improved front seats with more supportive side bolstering and 20-inch wheels were added. A Harley Davidson special edition was offered for 2006 and was available in two or all-wheel-drive layout only in SuperCab. A navigation system option was offered for the Lariat, King Ranch, and new Harley Davidson trim. Ford also offered an XLT Chrome package as well as a Lariat Chrome package. SIRIUS satellite radio became available on all trim levels except the base XL level.
