1998 Ford F150 review from North America
"The 1998 Ford F150 4.2 is junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My engine blew at 91,000 miles. Tie rod end broke at 77,000 miles. Paint has started to crack on roof. This truck was not worth what I paid for it. Ford refuses to do anything about the blown engine, even tho I still owe money on this truck. I've always thought Fords were great, till I bought this piece of junk. Never again, will I buy a ford.
General comments?
This truck is junk.
