1993 Ford F150 Pickup review from North America
"I like the truck, but if I were to buy another it would be fully loaded and a V8 in it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 90,000 Kilos the ball joints had to be replaced.
At 140,000 Kilos the transmission blew.
At 167,000 Kilos the slave cylinder went a second time.
General comments?
The truck is OK, but it could use more
power, most ford pickups with the Mazda built transmission has problems, the transmission is to light for the truck.
The bench seat is OK around town, but for long trips it is a back killer.
The truck is durable and is good for around the house and small jobs, but you need a truck for doing work get a bigger one with a V8.
