1994 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"XLT 4X4 truck-it doesn't get any better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump at 180k (common), brakes & tires. 4x4 shifter recently was hard to move, but sprayed WD40 and greased it and it shifted again (i got the manual locking hubs). Automatic trans has been slipping or hard shifting for 25k miles, but still keeps going. Not bad gas mpg 17-18 highway/13-14 city (I HAVE THE EXT CAB W/ 8 FT. BED AROUND 6100 LBS WEIGHT). Actually very durable truck W/good ride and VERY dependable. Great hauler!!
General comments?
1 tough truck if you need to haul or tow forget the foreign small trucks you have to buy a ford or dodge fullsize to do the job. XLT has all power accompaniments and great looking ford chrome wheels.
The bad- just a little rust on the driver wheel well coming through (very common areas for ford trucks. Hard to park in some parking lots (longer than a battleship. No rust out and the paint looks great still!
