1994 Ford F150 XLT from North America - Comments

My mass airflow sensor wire was broken.

My mass airflow sensor had to be replaced.

My leaf springs snapped on driver side from only 1,200 lbs. of weight in bed.

My automatic lockouts in my hubs exploded.

My EGR valve and sensor went bad.

I've gone through 3 sets of brake pads in the last 15,000 miles.

I've replaced the axle joints in the front end.

My wheel bearings went bad around the same time the axle joints did.

I've had one Courser MSR tire blow on me driving on the highway with the suggested amount of air pressure in them.

The tilt steering pinched my overdrive button wires, causing a short that ultimately fried my integral regulator in my alternator.

My oil pan is covered in JB Weld due to rusting out.

My oil pan dipstick tube snapped off.

My horn has not worked since I've purchased the truck.

My front coil springs settled so bad that 31 inch tires would rub my air dam on the bottom of my bumper.

Both my front and rear fuel pumps went out shortly after purchase.

My front (or side if you will) fuel tank rusted straight through.

Lastly the short that caused my alternator failure has left me without transportation, because this truck has nickle and dim-ed me to death.

It smells like a lemon, but I haven't been able to figure out how to act on any legal actions.

I really love the way the truck performs when it's functional, but it's cost me more than any other vehicle I've ever owned, and has rendered me helpless on several occasions.

I will not suggest anyone else purchase a 1994 Ford F150 due to the endless problems that I've had with mine.

When you purchase a 14 year-old pick-up truck with 150,000 on the odometer, you can probably expect that it would be pretty well worn out.

You can't claim a lemon on a 14yr old truck that was most likely not properly maintained for its first 150,000 miles. it sucks to be in your position but its not ford's fault.

I own the same truck same year, it has 152,000 k on it and all I need is winter tires.

The truck was well maintained and I have not had to do anything to it since I bought the thing; I've owned it for over 2 years.

It is possible that the truck was abused badly and had no maintenance prior to you purchasing it. These Ford trucks with the 5.0 V8's are practically bullet proof. Mine has 210,000. It runs and drives like new. No rattles, no vibrations, drives straight, and the A/C is still ice cold in this Arizona desert. 115 degree days and my engine temp gauge doesn't even go halfway. Always check the vehicle before buying! Always stay on top of general maintenance too.

I'm not a fan of Ford's myself, however, you can't claim that a 14-year old vehicle that you bought with 150,000 miles is a lemon. Chances are, it was poorly maintained.

Mine runs with no problems at all. I just need tires, and it has over 200k miles on it. I'd suggest it as a good truck.
