1995 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"BEST truck I have ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only the things that wear out of 15 years and 300K+ miles.
General comments?
I was a die hard GMC fan. But this truck has made a believer out of me. I worked this truck hard and drove it everywhere. It never let me down. I was absolutely amazed at the torque and pulling power this 6 cyl put out. I wish my Expedition had this engine.
With a camper shell on the back, I frequently got over 20mpg at 75mph. Even fully loaded with a loaded 18ft trailer, I still would get 17-18mpg.
I only wish I would have bought it with 4 wheel drive.
At 320K the motor started to smoke a little. I sold it and have been on the search for another one since.
