1985 Ford F150 xl review from North America
"This truck is unstoppable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have noticed that it leaks just a little bit of oil. I had to replace the wiper blades. that's about it.
General comments?
I LOVE this truck!
It starts every time.
It shifts perfect even with a hair under 200k miles.
The engine sounds amazing, no knocking for example.
The seats are very comfortable.
Everything is easy to reach from the drivers seat.
It handles very well.
It has tons of power, it feels like I can pull anything with no trouble at all.
The four wheel drive is truly amazing, I went mudding and found it impossible to get the truck stuck.
When I am in this truck I feel like it is an extension of me. It is just a big old workhorse that keeps on moving.
I love the way it looks, drives, performs, etc etc etc
I have owned everything from s10's to silverado's, and was just never that impressed with the Chevy's, this is the first f150 I have ever owned, and I am never turning back.
