1984 Ford F150 review from North America
"The lap of luxury, circa 1984"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For 262,000 miles this truck has been incredible. The clutch has been totally rebuilt, and the engine was replaced at 90,000 miles (I don't know why.) Other than that it has been minor work off and on. I recently rebuilt the carb. and replaced the master cylinder.
The only major complaint is the rust from being a North Dakota truck. It is in need of major rust removal and repair and then a paint job.
General comments?
This truck is awesome, turned tighter than the 2002 Ranger I had and could take it off the line.
The seats have worn out however, and it kills my back after having been used to the bucket seats of the Ranger (which I wrecked 12/13/02).
