Domelight, doorajar lights will not go out.
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.
I think the Insurance company has scammed you. I had a Supercharged 93 Thunderbird Super Coupe. My 2001 XLT V-8 Shortbed, Shortcab, costs way less, and the SC was less than the 96 Mustang GT. I would shop around.
About the door ajar and dome lights, all you need to do is spray some WD-40 into the door latch area. Fix it in about 15 seconds.
I just bought this 1998 f150 smaller v-8. put 310 miles on it averaged 14.63 miles per gallon. sold my 2000 ranger with the 3.0 six cylinder and only averaged 14.9 mpg.
I don't like it, but what can you do!
I just hope I have no major problems with it.
