1992 Ford F150 Custom 2WD Long Box review from North America
"Overall a good truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First clutch replacement was at 64,689 miles. second clutch and slave cylinder replacement was at 165,000 miles. Oil pan rusted out and had to be replaced in 2005 at 142,000 miles. Ball joints were replaced at 104,000 and again at 185,000 miles. Truck still has the original engine and transmission in it.
Truck has new fenders, hood and core support panels. Old panels had heavy rust so I replaced all of them.
General comments?
Overall, this has been a very reliable truck. It is like the energizer bunny. Keeps on going and going and going and hasn't died yet. Would recommend purchasing Ford trucks prior to 1996 as they have a better reliability record than newer Fords, some of which have problems with ejecting spark plugs.
It has good pickup for a six cylinder with a manual transmission.
