1994 Ford F150 Flareside Supercab review from North America
"If you have the time, and money, this has got to be the next sleeper in performance trucking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 156000 miles, I replaced the water pump and replaced the spider webbed windshield.
I also ripped out the mediocre factory sound system and installed a custom system.
At 165000, the windshield motor gave up the ghost. New motor works fine, however the blades stop at random points now.
General comments?
This is the most beautiful truck I've ever seen. It is nothing more that a straight up in-your-face gas burner and heart breaker. With the 5.0 EFI under the hood, it's a much meaner "sleeper" than most non Ford lovers would ever think of. I have taken stock Camaros and a buddy's Firebird off the line!
The inside has a custom interior with leather captains chairs and is every bit as comfortable as any touring sedan.
The custom sound system? 400 watts, and climbing, with a custom input for playing my guitar through the amp. (passenger seat only...)
