1988 Ford F150 Lariat XLT review from North America

I had to change my brakes and rotors after my emergency brakes would not let go. So I had to drive down the highway while my rear brake pads were grinding away.

I had to change my battery after 2 months of winter, but that was just because of the cold.

Changed my radiator after it was leaking, expensive to fix fof an 18 year old (almost $300 to fix).

No ABS, so my front brakes would lock up and I would lose all control of the truck. That's where "pumping the brakes" came in handy.

Not that good on people room. Can only fit 3 in the single cab.

Need to change the transmission even at 83,000 miles. Sometimes when I put it into Drive, the truck thinks it's in neutral and I would have to press on the gas to kick in.

My gas is horrible on the highway, but it might be caused by my transmission.

Engine is knocking for some reason, then it turns into a tick and then there is no tick at all. Smooth sailing. It's so weird.

Other than that, it's been a very good truck to me.

My 5.7 V8 has LOTS of power that can beat anyone off the stop light. There goes my gas though.

Cloth seats make the comfort great.

My heat in the winters are great.

It's only rear-wheel drive, so it gets pretty wiggly in the snow. Fun to drive though.

Great truck to buy for a beginning drivers. I love this truck! Safe and reliable. Just needs more space for people.
