1988 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"The best truck on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator died at 150000.
Universal joints failed at 160000.
Brake master cylinder was bad when I bought it.
Clutch master cylinder failed at 155000.
General comments?
This truck is a great truck. It has all the power and comfort anyone needs. I added a lift kit to the body so I could see over all of the sports utility vehicles on the road.
The truck is a real workhorse. It's not a dude truck and I use it all the time to haul and pull.
