New starter at 190,000ish.
New Tires/brakes at 190,000ish.
Driver door leaks a tiny bit at the top in very heavy rain.
Had to replace my alternator that shorted out due to a bad neg. connection to my battery at 219,000.
My locks went bad and for a few months had to open my passenger door by rolling down the window. When that one was fixed my driver door went bad and if it was locked, had to get in through the fixed passenger door and unlock it.
This truck has been through some pretty heavy duty stuff. The family that owned it before me took it to Wyoming/Montana several times and towed with it as well. I currently live over 5 hours away from home at college and it makes the drive home and back at least once a month, and we regularly drive dirt/gravel roads for the horse. It can take a good beating and keep going without a problem.
It's a brick, can't help it, and because it's so heavy can be a pain to get moving or get around a corner fast. Yet it handles great in rain, snow, and ice. In WI, we get a lot of all three.
Has had quite a few mild repairs, but with as many miles as it has, what can you expect?
Cab is SO roomy and comfortable (have bench seat that folds down). Perfect for the little country girl to haul her horse stuff in. Don't like that there is no mirror on drive side sun visor.
It drives and is built exactly like it should be- a truck.
Ford and GM make great trucks... decades ahead of the Asian competition!
