1987 Ford F150 review from North America
"Best truck Ford has made yet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new clutch and clutch master cylinder.
Put in a new rear main seal while the tranny was down.
New valve cover gasket, and some new tie rod ends.
General comments?
This is a 21 year old truck that runs like a new car. Aside from basic maintenance, the clutch gaskets etc, nothing has gone wrong. A very reliable and powerful truck.
I drove this truck from New York to California, while towing another car. Got there with no problems, and still going strong.
The low miles are attributed to it sitting for most of its life, which is all the better for me.
Plenty of head room for a taller man like myself, (6-4).
All in all, the best truck Ford has made to date.
The only negative these days it gas mileage; I get a highway 16 or so. Could be better, but it's a truck, so it could also be worse.
