Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Flareside styles and the Lightning model are dropped in 1996, and the silver instrument panel trim is replaced by a new black finish for all but Eddie Bauer styles which instead get wood grain trim on instrument and door panels. Improvements are made to the hub-locking systems and transfer case on 4WD styles, and XLT exteriors receive the slotted style front bumper. Interior upgrades include a new seat design with integrated headrest and Automatic Locking Restraint/Emergency Locking Restraint safety belts for all outboard seating positions.

Been a great truck so far

1996 Ford F-150 XLT 2dr Regular Cab SB (4.9L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I bought this truck with 106; 000 miles on it. It has 147,000 now, it's never left me stranded and has always run well. The only parts I replaced was a belt tensioner, radius arm bushings {only one was bad, but replaced both anyway} and ball joints just recently. I love the way it handles looks and drives. The fuel mpg could be better but I figure I make up for that with the … reliability of the truck.

1996 Ford F-150 XLT 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (4.9L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I ordered this truck in March of 96. I've been the only owner since. It has been a great truck for me for the past nine years. I've only put 2 sets of tires,1 set of brakes, 1 battery and 1 exhaust system on her. I'm getting ready to turn 100K miles soon. I highly recommend this year Ford truck to anyone.
Great truck!

1996 Ford F-150 XLT 2dr Regular Cab SB (4.9L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I have owned this truck since new and
it is my first ford truck. I owned a
GMC before this one. I use it like a
truck is supposed to be used and have
no complaints. It pulls with the 5.0L
and auto just fine. It is the best
looking truck made PERIOD. Chevy &
Dodge don't come close to the styling.
Is it time to trade in?

1996 Ford F-150 Eddie Bauer 2dr Extended Cab 4WD LB (4.9L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Bought new in 1996, w/ 5.8L V8. Now has 190,000 miles. Ran relatively well. Replaced rear differential due to gear oil leak. Replaced also: AC compressor (imploded, costing $1400),radiator (leaked), water pump, alternator, cruise control pressure switch, all hoses and belt, master cylinder and brake booster, battery (twice),CD/radio (twice). Truck had a bad oil leak since 60,000 … miles. ABS warning light last year resulted in inability to shift from Park to Drive; and now has the same trouble and I can't drive it -- probably needs to replace the ABS module(cost over $1000 the 1st time). Got stuck one winter in Donner Pass due to a broken special lug nut key -- Tow man raped my wallet.
