1990 Ford F150 Custom review from North America

Alternator fried because the previous owner rigged up a bad wiring job. I had to completely replace the brakes in the first year I owned the truck. Wheel cylinders were leaking and pad, shoes, discs, rotors were all replaced. That was probably the previous owners fault. I have just done regular maintenance such as oil changes, etc.

This truck has been great so far. I have only owned it for a year, but it is such a solid truck. The 4.9L I6 engine is awesome. It runs smooth and gets 17mpg in the city and over 20mpg on the highway. This truck doesn't burn a drop of oil and doesn't leak any fluids. It has 94,000 miles and is all stock.

The body is in amazing shape and the interior is very clean. If you are looking for a solid truck for city/highway driving, this truck is for you. The straight 6 engine isn't very powerful, but it has enough HP and torque to get the job done if you need to haul stuff. I have hauled a load that weighed well over a ton and it didn't phase my old straight 6. Passing ability of the highway is OK, and it does just fine on mountian roads if not in overdrive. It's diffinitly not going to win any drag races, but it is a very reliable truck that will satisfy any truck owner who is looking for an all around great truck.

I would highly recommend a 2wd 4.9L F150 to anyone looking for a truck with moderate performance and good fuel economy. This truck is solid and reliable and is perfect for a great all-around truck.
