  Ford has what is takes - 1991 Ford F-150
  By Jeremy Pearce - February 27 - 7:26 pm

  I bought this 91 F-150 about a year and a half ago with 166,000 miles on it. I have been so happy with it ever since. I live in Alaska and Im out in the Bush (Wasilla/Willow) and I have done my fair share of off-roading with this truck, and it still runs and runs. I have not been too good to my truck but it has been very good to me. I now have over 177,800 miles on its powerful 300 inline 6. I dont even have a V8 and Im loving the power that I get from this thing. It doesnt have the most HP in the world (145hp) but its torque is nice for a six cylinder (265 ft-lbs). I have never had the engine of transmisson rebuilt, or had any major work done. The owner before me also said he never had work done.

  1st Time F-150 Owner - 2004 Ford F-150
  By tdwest1 - February 26 - 10:00 am

  I love this truck! I looked at all the competing models (yes, including the Titan), but I couldnt stomach going with anything else. The ride quality and feel is head and shoulders above the rest. The interior design is simple and clean. Theres tons of storage and cupholders. The exterior is classy, but tough. The back seat has plenty of room for 3 adults. This truck is perfect for people who want the comfort of a sedan, but also the utility and power of a truck. 5.4L has plenty of power, despite what Edmunds says. Unless you love imports, spend the extra $2000 and buy the F-150, not the Titan.

  Good Truck - 1997 Ford F-150
  By TN - February 25 - 10:09 pm

  I bought this new in 1997 and put on 151,000 miles on it in 9 years. It is well built and reliable. The only unscheduled repair was when the transmission broke at 98,000 miles. It was rebuilt for $2,000. Otherwise, absolutely no problems. Now at 151,000 miles it needs some repair but it shouldnt be too bad considering the low repair history so far. Id say investing $2,000 now would buy me another 3 years of trouble free driving. Dont be afraid to grab one of these used if it has a clean bill of health. It will last you a long time.

  Always been a Tacoma guy......... but THIS. - 2016 Ford F-150
  By SMT - February 24 - 3:22 pm

  Just Wow. Never bought a Ford truck before. $10,000 in rebates knocked down the 2016 F150 to 40,000. Nice Tacomas are $34-39,000. Just yuck for a small truck. And I love Tacomas. This Ruby red, ELT, 4x4, high end tow package, Nav, power/heated seats, 4 wheel discs, 3.5 TWIN TURBO, 365HP, 410 FPT, is just an amazing, beautiful truck. I call her "Big Sexy." The brand-new, huge, Clarksville TN dealership is unreal and they dont play. Always want to make a deal and make the customer happy. Bought it Saturday and have zero regrets. I did not want the leather, center console (I can seat six), or sunroof. The cloth seats are thick and firm with lumbar. It still came with a locker and the crazy Ford trailer backup feature. I only added on the flipping modular tonneau cover which locks into the rails, comes with drain tubes so your stuff doesnt get wet, and is secure for your cargo because the tailgate in this baby locks. It was $1100. I looked it up online and suppliers sell a similar one for 1800-2000. My wife and daughter both easily drove it because it came with running boards, the seats can move WAY up, and the pedals can also move electronically front or back.

  1996 F150 XLT Standard Cab SB - 1996 Ford F-150
  By MIke Sauve - February 23 - 9:14 am

  This truck has been in my family since it was built in October of 95. Since then we have had NO breakdowns that we couldnt drive away from. We had one bad fuel pump, a bad vacuum sensor and the abs brakes went out. But we drove away from all of them because we have dual tanks. The vacuum sensor didnÂ’t do anything except turn the check engine light on. The abs doesnÂ’t works but you still have brakes, they just dont pulsate.

  2004 F-150 XLT - 2004 Ford F-150
  By Skip Leicht - February 23 - 1:19 am

  The vehicle performs well, the 5.4 has all the power I need and the electronic transmission is geared well to this performance. The body style is a huge improvement over the F-150s built in the late 90s. The interior is comfortable for my 62" (200 lbs) frame.

  hate it! - 2002 Ford F-150
  By scott - February 23 - 12:14 am

  That is what I think of this pick-up truck. I just hate that I paid so much hard earned money for such a poor vehicle. The gas mileage is the worst I have seen since I owned a ‘70 Chevy with a 454 engine. Now that had pick- up. This Ford is the worst riding. My ‘70 Chevy had air shocks with 50 series wide tires watch out for bumps, it drove much better than the Ford ever could dream of. This Ford is so bad that my next vehicle may be from JAPAN. I never thought I would ever say that. It is no wonder the American makers of autos are having such trouble in today’s market.

  F150 Lariat - 1998 Ford F-150
  By gil - February 21 - 10:04 pm

  Bought used. Have driven for 5 years and no major repairs not covered by warranty. Fuel economy not good but improved with K&N filter. Pull trailer with 2 ATVs and have no problem with 4.6. Paint still looks and shines like new constantly getting compliments and offers. Would definitely buy another Ford truck.

  F-150 Crewcab - 2004 Ford F-150
  By MACTEP - February 21 - 12:25 am

  The 2004 F-150 SuperCrew holds the road well, offers a solid ride and comfortable room for five. Still, it leaves room for improvement.

  Poor Rear end - 2004 Ford F-150
  By J. Mazzola - February 17 - 4:40 pm

  The original equipment tire that Ford uses for these trucks are passenger rated not LT rated. Although the ride is great for the first 20 to 25k miles, I noticed poor ride quality happening gradually as the tires lost tread. Try to find these sizes (255 70 17) is impossible. The rear end as a whole should be Fords focus on it all. The pinion gears and seals seem to be a low quality. Transmission is rough in down shifting from highway speeds.
