1998 Ford F150 LX review from North America
"Good, reliable and expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Domelight, doorajar lights will not go out.
General comments?
Fast, looks great, reliable, does not get the fuel economy that was advertised. Insurance is surprisingly high, the short bed V8 is listed as a sports car for some reason, the insurance is higher than my wife's 97 Ford Mustang by $190 per MONTH. I love the truck but it is far too expensive to operate for my tastes, am looking to sell and find a Long Wheel Base 92-95 model like I had before.
