I know mine's a 2nd-gen, but it still has the 5.4L Triton, so...
2004 Eddie Bauer 2WD
Bought it in 9/2017 with 146,000 on it, now has 159,000. I have the oil changed every 3-4 months.
Issues:
I hear a slight ticking on the driver's side when accelerating. This is my first Ford, so does that indicate cam phasers? I have no idea.
Some bubbling on the liftgate -- this seems to be pretty common among the early aluminum body panels Ford started using. Thankfully it's not rust. Otherwise the body is in fantastic shape. Chips & scratches here & there but NO corrosion or peeling paint other than the liftgate.
