1994 Ford F150 XLT Ext Cab review from North America
"Best truck I think I will ever have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump needed to be replaced at 15000 miles.
Bench seat wore out quickly.
Front rim cracked.
General comments?
The truck has a nice color from the manufacturer and has a smooth ride. But some modifications had to be made to the engine to get the full horsepower the 5.0 L has to offer.
I also wasn't happy with the rims the vehicle was equipped with, so lighter more sturdy rims were added.
The seats in the truck had worn out quickly, so then bucket seats were installed. Currently the engine has given all it can with over 200,000 miles on it, and now is being replaced with a 351 engine equipped with a super charger.
I am also thinking of adding a NOS system, but the suspension will have to be first on the list along with a new exhaust system.
