1996 Ford F-350 4 Dr XLT 4WD Crew Cab LB
Review
I use this truck like a truck. I don't expect it to be fun or drive like a car. I haul hay and horses. It restored my faith in American built vehicles. For 11 years I drove it with virtually no repairs and only casual maintenance. Today I will replace the u joints, some seals, a cracked manifold but overall, still just an excellent workhorse doing what it was designed to do. Other than brake linings, trans flush, radiator flush, and oil that is all I have done since I purchased with 3,000 miles on it.

Review
I bought this truck to replace my Chevy pickup I had. I pull a 28' stock trailer with my Ford truck with no problem. The 7.3L turbo diesel engine is the best diesel ever. My truck has 230,700 miles on it. I have a friend who has the same truck with 435,000 miles on it. These trucks ride like tanks, but pull everything. The truck catches a lot of peoples attentions. A trans and exhaust temp guage helps alot on these trucks.
Favorite Features
The crew cab has unlimited amount of room. I have installed a Jake brake and a air horn. Lock out hubs work great. Goes through anything with the 4x4.
Suggested Improvements
Tailgate rusted out. But that's all. Easy fix.

This is the best truck I have had ever and I would never trade or get rid of it for anything else. This truck is built to last forever.

Review
This isn't a bad older F350 diesel. Works well for towing our smaller 5th wheel with power and economy. Interior isn't as refined as the newer trucks, but it works for us.
Favorite Features
Ease of maintenance, and driveability.
Suggested Improvements
They've already improved this truck.
