I here Ford has a service bulliten about it-
I haven't had time yet to explore it further but there is a lot of talk about it. I have looked at all the F150's in my area
(upstate NY), that I come across, work parking lot, malls,
from 1997 on up to 99- most have the crack.
Unbelievable to say the least-
The truck is 6 years old and out of Ford's warranty.
A lot of trucks with this crack started in otherwise perfect condition.

The key hole is an anti-theft measure for your spare tire. When you unlock the assembly with your key, you have access to lower the spare tire using the tools under your rear seat.
 
About 2 months ago, I had a flat with my '04 XLT in the rain. The sidewall was punctured so the air inflator I carry with me was of no use. And of course I was wearing a dress suit. Can't tell you how much fun I had that night.

I am doing a college speech on the ford/chevy debate. I have to conclude which is the better brand by the end. I have a lot of information, but I need some consumer quotes and opinions. What do y'all think of the two and where could I find quick, terrific information? Please e-mail me by this wednesday if you could. My speech is Thursday morning. Thnx!

truckchick,
 
a good place to start is the 'editor reviews' here in Edmunds on the two vehicles.
 
I test drove the Chevy Silverado before buying my new Ford F150. I'm entitled to the GM family discount pricing, so I was obligated to at least check out the Chevy. Even with the "family" pricing, you can do better on your own using all the dealer incentives that are out there.
 
I probably would have chosen the ford before it's '04 make over due to a better reputation (IMO), but since Ford has totally re built the F150 for 2004, it was a slam dunk. Quieter cab, more refined, better looking (IMO), awesome cab design, where as the Chevy (GM) makes cheap tacky looking interiors.
 
you can quote me
