  I have had a 2002 F150 for 2 years. I have had the rotors turned 3 times. I mostly do highway driving (cruise control), and some light duty house work on the weekends. So I wouldn't exactly call it an "abusive" environment. Ford sells a premium rotor that is 3/8" thicker, which, interestingly enough, still fits into the stock caliper. Their stock rotors just suck, they aren't thick enough.

  In calander year 2001 F series did sell the most of any brand, but the Superduty is not the same truck as the F-150, so combining them is like combining GMC and Chevrolet. 2001 sale totals rounded to a thousand: 1. Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 465,000, not including 2500 & 3500 or GMC. 2. Ford Superduty_________ 390,000, all F-250 or larger 3. Ford F-150 ____________ 346,000 Source http://forbes.com/2002/02/04/0204flint.html Harry

  I am writing you today because I have a problem with my 99' Ford F-150 and I am appealing to all who might listen or give advice. My problem began around two weeks prior to the submittal of this letter (approximately Jan. 3, 2002). I arrived home from work and parked my truck in the garage (as usual) and noticed a smell similar to clutch fluid (my truck has an automatic ... Read More

  Our F150 seat have some areas where the stitching is coming apart. We will have to see what Ford has to say after 2 months of ownership. On the flip side we like how the seats feel and the size of them. With the power drivers seat it's easy to get it where you think the seat needs to be. Fuel mileage has come up to 16 mpg now , with ... Read More

  I read with interest biscayne's comments on the F150 seats. I test drove a 2002 Supercrew Lariat 4WD yesterday and was really disappointed in the seats. The leather was rigid and the seat cushions were hard as a rock. In addition to being hard, the length of the cushion resembles the seats in a "foreign job." I think Ford should look at the Dodge Ram seats and think about upgrading.

  Leeg3: Here are my thoughts regarding your questions on a new Supercrew. IMHO: 1.I haven't driven one with a 4.6L but mine with the 5.4L rides very nice. As far as the tranny - not sure but I think the 5.4L might have a different tranny than the 4.6L. At any rate, the 5.4L comes with a HD transmission cooler with should improve longevity & transmission performance particularly if towing is ... Read More

  Picked up new Supercrew & my wife promptly loaded up the kids & luggage & drove to show her friend in Orlando! Oh well, I got to drive it home from the dealer, WOO HOO! This thing is even nicer than I expected - way nicer than my previous F150 & older model Chevy & Toyotas. As far as the Class III towing pkg.- I think it's a good investment for ... Read More

  Was informed by a dealer yesterday that it was too late to order a 2001 but could already order a 2002 with a 6 to 8 week delivery. No 2002 yr. literature was available, but an order printout that was given to me for consideration includes retail prices for my requested options that are identical to 2001 prices and the base price is only $30 more. This surprises me because I ... Read More

• Crash Test on Dateline

  Written by: howie99mn on Jun 4, 2001 7:15:57 PM

  In the market for a pickup F-150 but saw Dateline today and when they IHS did an offset test the safety cage collapsed resulting in Driver Fatality at only 40 mph. However, Ford claims to be working on a fix. Perhaps 2002 model year will do much better based on Ford's success in crash testing other vehicles.
