1986 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"Wouldn't trade it for anything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The bench seat is getting worn.
Frame has been welded once.
Front brakes have rotted out.
General comments?
This truck is the best machine I've ever owned.
The engine is very reliable.
It has all the power of a small block V-8, but better mpg.
It pulls wonderfully, including a 2003 F250 5.4.
Doesn't like going up hills.
