Review

I have owned this truck since 1997. Had 23,000 miles when I bought it. Has 235,000 now. I just can't sell it. It has never let me down. The 300 six is un-stoppable. Ford should have never stopped building this engine. Mine is Black with gold accent. When shes washed and waxed, I still get comments on her great looks. Don't drive it much anymore, but like I said, I can't seem to part with her. Replaced one hydraulic clutch actuator, clutch and two alternators. That's it. Still runs like new. Best vehicle I have ever owned!

Favorite Features

Looks, reliability. I would buy another if I could find one with low miles and same styling.

Suggested Improvements

None

Review

We had this truck for 8 years and had only minor problems. 5.0 V8 delivers excellent overall power, but sacrifices fuel economy. No trouble when hauling 3/4 ton of rock and towing a 2 ton vehicle. I would recommend this truck.

Favorite Features

5.0 V8, towing and hauling capabilities, engine sound

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy, a few screws keep falling out on interior panels, auto transmission shift from 3 to 4 is rough and inconsistent

Absolutely a great truck

Review

I own a 1995 F-150 XLT 4X4 Flareside Extended Cab with 123,000 miles, and it is a great truck. The 5.0 V8 makes it a blast to drive, the fuel economy isnt really that bad, and 4WD in the winter makes it pretty much unstoppable. Nothing ever goes wrong with it, it never needs repairs. The only parts I've ever put on it were tires, a ball-joint, oil, and filters. I always get comments and compliments about the way it looks. If u ever need a good truck to haul something, an old F-150 is a great choice.

Favorite Features

Appearence. The 5.0 L V8 is very strong and can lay rubber if it wants to! Awesome in the winter. Nimble on the highway, yet can go off road.

Suggested Improvements

More supportive front seats. Nimbler around town handling. Fuel mileage could be somewhat better. Antilock brakes are definitely needed

My old F150

Review

This truck was either a lemon or a truck that had some really hard miles. I bought it used and it ended up needing a lot including, new starter, new clutch, new steering box, rebuilt rear end, new oil pan, new leaf springs and mounting brackets and it is rusting apart. Has only 98000 on it too.

Favorite Features

When it runs right it is a great truck. I like the overall design, dual fuel tanks, nice wheels, cloth seats give a nice ride

Suggested Improvements

Ford needs to fix their bed design so there is less rust in the wheel wells. Rusting problems need looked at. A slower granny gear would be nice. Better fuel economy.

Never Liked Fords

Review

I bought this pickup from my buddy. he talked me into it, even though I never liked Fords. The pickup was babied. It is very fun to drive with the 351 with 2 1/4 inch dual straights, no cats, no mufflers. Very loud! I actaully liked it until I hit a puddle and got water in the air intake and cracked a piston. They are not water proof. Im a redneck so I got hunting and fishing in it all the time and I havent seen a prairie trail too rough for it. All in all its a pretty good pickup, never had any problems except for the piston, my fault. Has 179k miles on it, solid runner. And I prefer manual lockouts, just because theyre more reliable, 4x4 on the fly. Works good. I reccomend this pickup.

Favorite Features

Manual lockout hubs, power windows, power locks. AC is ice cold. Sound great with true dual straights.

Suggested Improvements

Make the hose that brings in dirty air go uphill instead of downhill. then I might not have drowned it.

Review

My f150 now has 213,500 miles on it and still runs strong. I think Ford's biggest mistake was getting rid of the 4.9l 300 i6. Doesn't do good on fuel, but the engine had plenty of pickup and plenty of pulling power. I put a flowmaster 40 on it and it sounds great.

Favorite Features

My flowmaster, my cb and 8.5 whip antenna. Nice truck

None

Review

I am the 6th owner and I bought it at 175000 miles. Replaced the rear end and it has been ultra reliable. The truck has been used to tow, haul and off road a lot. I would buy ten more if I could afford it. It's starting to lose a little power but it does have 220000 miles on it and everything works.

Favorite Features

All of it

Suggested Improvements

Solid front axle

Review

I have owned every truck in the Ford line, Ranger,2 Explorers, Bronco, 2xF150's. Without question, the 94-96 F150's is a better truck than most pickups available. Ford Trucks are as tough as the toe nails on an elephant except for the transmissions! The trucks will nickel and dime you to death with little problems such as rear end gears(not so little) wiper/window motors,lamps, lighting, fuses,wiring etc..... There was a failure of research and development because they are a pain to work on but I love them! I am forever a Ford man!

Favorite Features

Body styling. Power! Comfort of a Cadillac

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy is terrrrible! Larger exhaust. Door seals could be better

This Old Truck

Review

I paid $4500 last winter. I've only paid for oil changes. And I cleaned it in and out well because it smelled like a used car. Now it's nice, clean, easy to drive. I'd never buy a Ford car, but this old truck has been good and a good price. It's very under powered. I drive it easy and get 18 MPG with it's 5L V8. Snow, sand, and mud are like driving on pavement when in 4X4.

Favorite Features

Cheap price.
