1988 Ford F150 XLT Lariat review from North America
"I drive it because it was given to me!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has really gone wrong on the truck is the red plastic bar on the tailgate has fallen off. Other than that the truck is 100 percent. The seats are a little worn, but that is expected on any older vehicle.
General comments?
The truck can really get up and go! It is a five speed with a 4.9 and it will outrun a five speed with a 5.0.
If anybody knows of a good place where I can buy a billet grille, altezzas, cold air intake, or any other kind of performance part, please respond to the article. Oh, and yah, I know that altezzas aren't a performance part, they just look cool.
I am planning to put one ten inch subwoofer in the middle of the seat where the armrest is. After that I am going to put a seat cover over the seat to make everything flush.
If anybody has any ideas for customization please reply to this article.
