Wind sound from the driver's side window.
Door ajar light stays on for extended periods even after the doors have been checked and are completely shut.
Very smooth on the highway.
Unique handling around corners and curves for a large truck.
The 4.6L engine is dynamic for a truck weighing in at 4034 lbs.
Good gas mileage for a large truck - as high as 20 mpg on the highway.
Very low maintenance.
The third door is nice but I wish I had waited for the fourth door for easier access all the way around.
That door ajar light problem you have will keep getting worse until you shoot some WD-40 at the switches that are located inside the latch of the doors. I had the same problem, and it went away entirely with a single squirt of the blue can.
I just had mine fixed for that. Thank god for warranties. It's an $11 switch but you have to take the interior door panel off to get to it. The dealer charges about $100 for the whole operation. If WD-40 works, stick with it!
My '97 F150 just turned 95,0000 miles. Both problems sound familiar. Did the same fix for the door. Only service other than the scheduled maintenance was to replace the center link at 60,000. It's been a great truck.
