2004 Ford F-150 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your F-150’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your F-150 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my F-150's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Ford F-150’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Ford F-150 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford F-150, potentially causing transmission problems.
