1992 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Great truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump failed at 183,000 miles.
A brake hose blew at 194,000 miles.
The A/C compressor failed at 201,000 miles.
The muffler rusted off at 208,000 miles.
The inner door handle fell off at 214,000 miles.
The front window got broke when a small rock it it at 218,000 miles (not the truck's fault).
General comments?
This is a great truck. It has great passing power with the 351, and is still fairly fuel efficient.
I bought this truck in 1999 for $ 2,000. I got it for so cheap because it had high mileage. I'm still driving it today with 235,000 on the odometer with a low amount of repairs.
The truck has very good V8 power, it will beat some vehicles from a red light. And is a very safe highway merger. Even with lots of power, I still average about 14 MPG city, and about 20 MPG highway. Which isn't too bad for a truck this size.
Overall, the truck is pretty comfortable. The ride is a little bouncy, but I think my rear shocks might be causing that. The seats are very comfortable, they are vinyl, so they get hot in the summer.
I have a 8-foot bed and can haul lots of things.
Overall, a great truck!
