1993 Ford F150 XL Short Bed review from North America
"A great hauler with high torque"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At approximately 87,000 miles I had to replace the rear axle. Dealer said it was not broken or anything, just there was "some" corrosion.
Other than that nothing went wrong.
General comments?
Good reliable hauler.
Until a drunk man hit the truck, it was pretty with the tall hopcap.
Don't drink and drive, it's bad for you and for my truck.
More torque than you could ever think of needing in low gears, and cruises like a sedan in fifth gear, it goes along nicely on the freeways.
Handles great, minimal roll in turns.
Snow, ha!
