1996 Ford F150 review from North America
"Best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1996 F150 2WD
Timing belt replaced once.
Brakes pads replaced twice.
AC compressor replaced at about 210,000 miles.
Had some wind noise (whistle) on the passenger door at 55 mph.
General comments?
1996 F150 2WD
Solid truck, have towed cars hundreds of miles. Cruises all day and all night on the interstate at 65 to 75 mph.
Solid on loose rock and mountain ranch roads. Plenty of clearance underneath.
Good in snow and Wisconsin winters, with an extra 600 lbs in the back.
