1987 Ford F150 review from North America
"Great reliable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong with this truck. The clutch cable has broken 4 times, but the clutch itself only two times. Everything else fixed has been regular wear and tear.
General comments?
This is a great truck. It has been indestructible. The 6 cylinder has enough power to pull things in first gear. The 4 speed is a must if any work will be done with it. It drives like a tank on the road, but after all it is a truck. It has been wrecked 3 times and I've never been hurt and it has always kept on running.
