Bought it with 40K in 1998. It now has 140k and still runs as good as the day I got it. Pull a 3500 lb lb boat with it on a weekly basis. Had to replace the front arm bushings, but other than that just changed the oil, tranny fuild and tires. Tried the KN filter and intake turbos, slick 50 and evey known fuel additive, but it still gets only 13 mpg city 15 highway and 10 mpg pulling the boat. The good thing is it has never let me down for 100,000 miles. My mechanic hates me, and sais the thing will do 200K plus. Hate to get ri of it, but want a bigger boat so got get a bigger truck
Built to last

5.0L V-8 (302 ci) Great truck! bought it with 40K miles in 1998, currently has 143K miles 2008. Paint still looks great. No major drive train problems ever. Poor gas mileage 13/17, but it has never left me on the side of the road. Love the dual gas tanks, you will need them for long trips. Horsepower is a little low compared to newer V-8 trucks 195 vs 300.

Excellent experience. In 108,000 miles, I've replaced the starter solenoid, cracked windshield and the torque converter seal. Of course I've gone through a couple of batteries and one thermostat. The design of the cooling system was well engineered. There is a bypass channel around the thermostat. When the thermostat failed closed last summer the engine indicated temperature never reached the redline. The original tires were terrible, had 2 of them come apart prior to the recall. The truck still has the original exhaust system and has never failed the TX annual state inspection. Overall, except for gas mileage, super pickup. In 1996 gas mileage was not that important.

This truck has been very reliable for me in the length of time that I've owned it . It's never left me stranded anywhere. Just recently I completed some extensive work, like all new U joints, front disc rotors and brake pads, front bearings, clutch assembly, new tires; interior is in excellent shape. I'm the only one ever in it. Oh ya - also replaced bushings in I beam suspension.

I bought this truck used off my local Ford dealers lot. It was a very old truck to be on their sales lot and on the front line. I owned a 1995 F-150 LT at the time. My mechanic was always asking me if i wanted to sell the LX. The Ford dealer was asking $9500 for this old Ford XLT. The truck had 100,000 miles on it. My mechanic gave me $5500 for my LX so in my mind I upgraded for $4000 to the XLT Super. My wife loves my truck. It's big and roomy. I am now at 137,000 miles. I figure with a new truck costing so much I can rebuild this truck many times. My milage is around 11 MPG around town. I have a friend with a 2018 XLT and he doesn't get much more MPG. I might be interested in the new Ranger if it had a V6. No turbo 4 cylinders. The only 4 cylinder I would consider is a Tacoma.
