The eleventh generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of pickup trucks that was manufactured and marketed by Ford from the 2004 to 2008 model years. Slotted between the Ranger and the F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks, the F-150 was again redesigned separately from the heavier-duty F-250 and F-350 trucks. In addition to chassis and suspension upgrades, the redesign saw the F-150 adopt several design features of its Super Duty counterparts, including its triple-slot grille and front door windows with a stepped lower edge (the latter feature, in current production).
To streamline production costs, the two-door F-150 was replaced by a 2+2 door regular cab, featuring rear-hinged access panels (to access storage behind the seats); the design allowed the front doors to be shared with the 2+2 door SuperCab (featuring roll-down windows) and the 4-door SuperCrew. Along with becoming the last generation of the F-150 offered with a manual transmission, it is also the final version offered with the option of a Flareside bed design.
While the Ford SVT Lightning and Lincoln Blackwood were discontinued, the latter was replaced by the Lincoln Mark LT (in contrast to its predecessor, the Mark LT was much closer in functionality to the F-150). In Mexico, Ford marketed the model line under the Ford Lobo nameplate. The eleventh-generation F-150 also serves as the basis for the full-size Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator.
Ford assembled the model line in multiple facilities in the United States and Mexico.
