1992 Ford F150 Flareside XLT review from North America
"One of these days I think it will be a true classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only major thing that happened to this truck was the engine got out of time and the exhaust manifolds starting leaking bad so I had that fixed. This happened at about 230,000 miles and just the other day I had to put a slave cylinder in it. Not bad for a truck that has traveled 252,000 miles. It also has had just general maintenance repairs made to it to keep it in good shape.
General comments?
This a very dependable truck and it will always stay in the family if I got anything to do with it. The truck looks like new on the inside and expect for the clear coat coming off on the passegar side door the outside shines like a jewel. They built a good truck when they made this one and that 300 in-line 6 cylinder engine is the toughest ever made. This pickup still has many miles ahead of it.
