1983 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"Good all around dependable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, clutch fan @ 108,000 miles.
General comments?
One tough 4x4 six banger, take care of it and it will take care of you. 25 years old and still turning heads.
Easy to work on and parts are available everywhere due to so many produced.
Legendary 300-4.9 equal to the small block V-8's torque. Averages 14 mpg.
