"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.

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.
