1986 Ford F150 LX review from North America
"Reliable and runs great. Nice and big!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Back brakes replaced at 180,000 miles. Rusted probably due to my mountain puddle hopping.
190,000 miles vacuum lines replaced due to me 4wheeling.
210,000 miles I hit a big rock in the mountains going to fast and had to replace the brains.
General comments?
Long bed and extended cab. Only has a 5.0 but the truck will pull just fine going up the rockies with three dirt bikes in the bed or three snow mobiles on a trailer. Not the fasts, but it goes nice.
Very reliable with good gas mileage for the size of the truck.
Lots of room for everything.
