1987 Ford F150 XLT Lariat Supercab review from North America
"Best vehicle I've owned to date!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little actually. Routine maintenance mostly.
Rebuilt the carburetor every few years. With a Holly 4 barrel, that's routine anyway!
Over the years, I replaced: starter, alternator, water pump, wiper motor, window motor, tie rods.
Nothing was done TWICE and I credit that to using ONLY factory parts, no aftermarket.
Rear main seal replaced 2001.
General comments?
Great truck.
Comfortable ride & seating.
Plenty of power, even after all these years.
Fuel mileage was atrocious. of course, but that goes with the territory!
Honestly can't think of one BAD thing to say. I suppose that says a lot in itself...
