Check out the new ride!!!
Well, we traded in the '04 Sport Trac yesterday. We got a '05 Screw XLT, 5.4L, towing package, and factory Roush wheels. Got a smokin deal under invoice. Let me know what yall think.. I haven't seen any on here with the factory 20's.
Have to go to the dealer to check a couple of things:
1) Tires seem out of balance. slight wheel shimmy at 65-70. could be that they didn't get to do a full prep on the truck since it was at their warehouse that they keep their new inventory at (hadn't made it to the lot yet).
2) Strange paint scuffs about 1/8" wide along the trailing edge of the drivers door. Strange thing is that it is on the passengers door too. I buffed them and they look better, but not perfect.
3) After my first wash I noticed a dull spot in the paint in the middle of one of the doors, after waxing it mostly went away, but I still think that I can see it.
Thanks for looking!!!
Check gallery for shots...didn't realize they don't allow you to imbed images.

The only reason why I would suspect the balance of the tires is that it causes the steering wheel to shake at a specific speed. I would think if it was a misbalance driveshaft, then I would feel a whole truck vibration, not just the steering wheel...but I could be wrong, just my impression of driving it for 200miles.

Thanks for the props guys! Yeah, I am sure that I won't put a drop on the truck. Mainly because it is my wife's vehicle. The wife always gets the best ride, many married men should be able to attest to this. I get to drive the '97 Cadillac Deville and the '90 300ZX. I decided to upgrade so that I could get something that I knew would pull the boat out of the lake. The 'Trac was a one-legger, and this one has limited slip, etc. So I decided to trade, only $75/month more, it was a no-brainer. I definately got a good deal on this one.

Bill make your wife drive one of the others. Its a mans world when it comes to the truck...................ok so I'm fooling myself. My wife puts twice the miles on our F150. Nice ride you have there. Have the wheels rebalanced. I think that will take care of that problem but try to convince your wife that you need to test it over the next couple of weeks
