1989 Ford F150 XLT Lariat review from North America

"Not bad for $750"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

There are some serious electrical problems with my truck. The rear lights and dash lamp don't work. The cab light and bed light are out as well.

The rear anti-lock break system acts up at high speeds.

For no reason the AM radio stopped working.

The radiator had a hole in it at 13000 m.

The oil pressure gets pretty low from time to time.

The rear gas tank won't take any fuel.

Both front and rear bumpers have dings and scraps from the beating it took during it's time at a gravel pit.

The oil pan leaks oil.

The power steering is broken.

I had to re-fill the Air Conditioning when I first purchased it.

And the bed liner is ripped in a few spots.

General comments?

Despite long off road treks, and pulling immensely heavy loads at a gravel pit for 11 years, my truck runs extremely well.

Even though it only has two wheel drive, I can take her up the huge grass hill that leads to my home everyday.

I love the extremely low end torque, and it handles very well.
