2004 Ford F-150 Photo Gallery

The 2004 Ford F-150 arrives in five trim levels, ranging from the base XL to the Lincoln-esque Lariat, with special-edition models—including a 500-horsepower SVT Lightning—sure to follow. Shown here (left to right) are SLT, STX, Lariat, and FX4 models.

The Lariat SuperCrew is the most luxury-laden (and expensive) F-150 variant, distinguished on the outside by an available two-tone paintjob and eighteen-inch aluminum wheels.

The 2004 F-150 offers three box lengths (8.0 feet, 6.5 feet, and 5.5 feet). Shown here is an STX model with the new 6.5-foot Flareside box. The shapely box incorporates inner panels of steel and outer panels of extraordinarily durable sheet molded composite material.

The workaday F-150 XL, shown in Regular Cab (SuperCab is optional) with the 8.0-foot bed, is the value leader of the F-150 range.

The interior of the Lariat displays the latest in luxury-pickup thinking, coddling its occupants with woodgrain and brushed steel trim, chrome-rimmed gauges, steering-wheel-mounted audio and climate controls, and standard leather seating—a 40/20/40 split front bench with a column shift or, shown here, heated front captain's chairs with a "flow-through" center console and floor shifter.

The 40/60 rear bench seat in the Lariat SuperCrew is leather clad, just like the fronts. Optional on XLT, FX4, and Lariat Supercrew models is a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a headliner-mounted player and fold-down LCD screen.
