FORD F-150 Super Crew 2004-2008 Photos, engines & full specs

Ford introduced the eleventh generation of the F-150 in 2004, and the Super Crew cab version was the one that transformed the workhorse pickup into a great family vehicle.

With a reputation to defend and considerable experience on the market, Ford considered that updating an old vehicle was not enough anymore. It had to come with something completely new, and that was the 2004 F-150. Thus, it could raise the bar and forced other pickup makers to try and keep up with the best-sold vehicle in the world.

Unlike the Regular or the Super-Cab versions, the Super Crew featured a cabin with four full-size doors. The dipped-down front side of the door-windows, like the Ford Super Duty series, was a unique design detail in the pickup market and allowed the carmaker to install the door-mirrors lower and enhanced the driver's visibility. Depending on the trim option, Ford offered the Super Crew with one or two-tone body-paint. In the back, Ford offered the Super Crew with a choice of 5.5' (1,676 mm) and 6.5' (1,981 mm) bed option.

Inside, there was a car-like interior, with a wide center stalk and silver trims. The wide center console featured cup-holders good enough for a big-gulp pop can. Ford re-arranged the dials on the instrument cluster and placed the small gauges for fuel-level, coolant-temperature, ammeter, and oil pressure between the big speedometer and tachometer. In the back, it offered a wide bench for three, with a flat floor.

Under the hood, Ford installed a choice of three gasoline engines that provided between 231 hp and 300 hp. It was available with rear- or all-wheel-drive.
