1990 Ford F150 XLT LARIAT review from North America

Nothing yet, but it's certainly seen better days.

I am the lucky third owner of this F-150. My wife an I decided to get a third vehicle--a truck--to take her artwork to galleries, get house stuff, and to get us to stop saying things like "if we had a truck we could." I scanned craigslist for a few weeks and found a truck for $250 bucks and this was it.

I am amazed, there is no oil leaking, the shocks are good, and the clutch is in fine shape. The reason the mileage hasn't changed is that the cable broke a long time ago (according to the other owner). No one knows how many miles it has on it, but I'm sure it's a fair few.

I am not a Ford person--I am a Chevy guy, but I do think this truck deserves some recognition for its overall integrity. Rust, yeah, and a lot of things that make a racket going over train tracks, but overall, very good. Here's what I mean: When I bought it I had to drive to Duluth to pick it up. That's 280 miles away. I drove my Metro, got a tow dolly from U-Haul, then hauled my Metro back with my 250-dollar truck. I don't think most people would do that on paper, let alone through the wilds of northern Minnesota. This truck did it smiling.
