1995 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Great general overall truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced rear axle seals at 95k.
Replaced starter at 120k.
Replaced worn motor mounts at 120k.
Replaced clutch and slave cylinder at 122k.
Replaced driver's side torsion rod bushing twice.
General comments?
Truck looks good with no rust. Ride is a little stiff, but at 122k, that's good as steering and suspension are still solid. As has been previously posted, seats are a bit uncomfortable for long rides, but for day to day, great. Nice looking ride with good lines. This engine is immortal and several Ford mechanics have told me it should last 350k+ if properly cared for. All my repairs have been either preventative, predictive, routine, or as a result of enough miles and age that they were reasonably expected. I can't complain about this truck's reliability at all. No car lasts forever.
