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.
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.
My 1986 Ford 150 XL is a strong runner. The AC will blow you out of the vehicle and starts strongly. The usual problems with a truck this age (deteriorated dashboard, loose steering) comes with the territory. My biggest issues to tackle are the leaking transmission and the failure of the fuel tanks to switch over leaving me on the smaller rear tank. These are projects for me to tackle in the near future. Any ideas on how to approach the fuel tank issue?
