1994 Ford F150 XL review from North America

I bought this truck as a left-over in January of 1995. It was left over because it does not have air conditioning and I live in Southwest Florida. I have still not been able to go a day without my friends telling me how stupid I am.

The original battery leaked and rusted out the tray. This occurred at approximately 300 miles. The dealership replaced the battery and tray under warranty.

The linkage for seat adjustment failed at approximately the same time. I repaired this myself with a coat hanger.

The factory tires were replaced at about 50,000 miles.

The master cylinder for the clutch failed at about this time. I replaced it without replacing the slave. The truck has about 100,000 miles on it now, and I believe the slave is just now beginning to fail. Sometimes I have to be moving to shift back into first when approaching a red light.

Other than some minor electrical problems, (wiper switch and airbag light) these have been the only problems with the truck.

This has been a very reliable truck. I have not used it for serious duty on a regular basis, but when I have, it has performed great.

I hauled 1 1/2 tons of tile to my house over 20 miles twice with no problems.

It has a better ride and more comfortable seat than any other truck I have driven.

For the past two years, I have been driving a company truck every day and have started my ford every week or two, whether it needs it or not.

So far, it keeps on starting. And when I do actually take it out on the road, it still drives pretty close to the way it did when I bought it.
