I'm new to F150's. I'm close to buying an XLT Super Cab long bed. Does anybody have any good or bad experiences they would like to share?
Thanks

 

I am very well satisfied with the (2) F150's in our family & the Company F150. My dailey driver is 1979 w/ 300 6-cyl. 158,000 & has orginal alternator, distributor pick-up & brain box. Engine work done to 79 (which I've owned sine 1987). (2) carb. rebuilds, (2) waterpumps & (1) fuel pump which was still working fine--replaced fuel pump & waterpump before 2500 mile trip in 1996 (as preventive maintenance).
Mama's 99, F150 has had leaky rear sliding window replaced. (1) pass. side door actuator repl. & some hose clamps & valve cover re-torqued. All of these repairs were covered under warranty.
Company 97 F150 has 157,000 miles. Gets ran hard 5 to 6 days a week. No problems with these truck either. (2) sets of frt. brakes, (2) lower ball joints @ 73,000 miles. Just started on 2nd. "purchased" set of tires @ 146,000.
Welcome to the world of F150's. Gearmanx17.

Check other threads (ie "Dealers", "Truck Costs", etc). There's a lot to learn on this site, I wish I found this before I bought my 2001 SCrew. My buying experience would have been better and I would have known about Gen I, II, III & IV vehicles.

Study up and then join the F150 crew....
Good luck and let us know how it went..

 

MrBill,

What is the Gen IV Screw? I have a Screw on order and am now curious about the Gen IV. This is the first I've heard about it.
