1991 Ford F150 XLT Lariat review from North America
"It is a good solid truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New transmission at 115,000 miles. Had to replace rear tank fuel pump twice, first time about 85,000 miles, again at 95,000 miles. Developed bad oil leak at rear transmission seal. Two cracked exhaust manifolds at about 110,000 miles. Power windows stopped operating at 135,000 miles. Bench is wearing thin and tore at 130,000 miles, not too bad I think. Driver's side armrest tore off too.
General comments?
Despite all of the above, over the years this truck has been a great performer. Hauled motorcycles in the bed with a flat bed trailer with a car from east coast to El Paso. Several coast to coast trips went with no problems. A good solid truck. Nothing fancy, certainly not spartan either. Hopefully will drive it for many more years.
