1986 Ford F150 XLT Lariat review from North America
"It's the most reliable truck on the road even with the new suped up trucks out there these days."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things that have gone wrong are the inner tie rod ends which are rusted and need replacing, and the upper ball joints need replacing. Regular muffler work was needed. (new tailpipe)
General comments?
The car starts up every single time, even in below freezing conditions. It's a great work truck or a great first car. It runs very solid and tough and can pull a house it seems like. The 4 wheel drive has never had any problems with the previous owner and still works perfectly for me. It's literally impossible to get stuck in snowy/icy conditions. The interior is extremely roomy and comfortable.
