1990 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Despite few problems, the best truck I've had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stalling problem at idle.
Oil leak.
Runs real rough, something with fuel injection.
Air conditioning doesn't work.
General comments?
This has been a very good truck so far, even though the engine is starting to act up. This truck is very tough! Will take anything that I throw at it, (except mud, two wheel drive). Gas mileage is very good in the city, but I can't really get the truck up to 60-70 miles per hour (because of fuel injection problem). The 4.9 liter in-line six is one of the more reliable and bullet-proof motors that ford has made, mine is acting up because it hasn't been driven in a long while. Overall a very good truck, will keep it for a very, very long time.
