1982 Ford F150 XLT Lariat review from North America
"This truck is bulletproof, it will never die!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Carburator needed to be rebuilt (had about 1/4 of a cup of sand in the bottom of the float bowl). The muffler rusted through and had to be replaced, and the windshield has a crack running from one side to the other (so every time it rains water leaks in at the top of the windshild).
General comments?
This thing is F*&#ing Bulletproof. It doesn't get good gas mileage and it's getting a little harder to pass emissions, but it won't F*&#ing Die. It just keeps on going. It handles great, the cab is great. But I'm starting to need more seats and less pick-up. I might have to trade in the old truck (shame, I really love that truck).
