Hi All,
Purchased the XLT in Oct 99 and to date have had only a few problems.
1)Interior mat worn thru at 9k(won't replace)
2)The ole' slapper noise from the 5.4 but
haven't had it repaired because I think
it would be worse afterwards.
3)Driveline slip. Repaired myself with
info found on website because the a@@holes
at dealer could not find a problem!

Great truck other than that. This is my first Ford. I have had GM's that went alot further with no problems. But I am not complaining, yet. But I don't like the way you are treated by the service people. Ford needs to make Service and Quality #1 and there would not be so many people angry with the problems they have.

 

After waiting 11 weeks (they said it would have taken longer but the 5-speed meant they could get it faster ?!?) for the truck I ordered to come in it showed up with scratches all over the dash. They replaced the affected parts without any trouble. After 8 months and 18,000 miles my only complaint is these tiny tires.

2000 XL 4.6 5spd 2WD reg-cab long-box 3.55 LS 235/70/16 Chestnut (not 2-tone) Raven-Cap (and a '66 GTO with a '73 455, both combined cost less than a Lightning )

 

58k miles and going. It's hard to accumulate mileage here in the island (100mi x 35mi) as you can do in the states with all those monster highways. We have a lot of stop and go situations with holes ( large potholes) everywhere that can make trash out of the front suspension on any car. I am happy with mine because it's still working properly.

We change (under warranty) a coil, the MAF and the leather steering wheel. Rear sliding window sealed as well. Even though we have been through this minor inconveniences I am in love with my pick up. Most of the time it is more than I expected. And when not I try to fix whatever it is to make it up to my expectations. I really love all those aftermarkets products out there for our rigs.

For me a success story would be being able to installed the body lift and put under it the big meat. Looks great and I am very proud of the vehicle we drive.

WEll I have an 88 ford F250 3/4 ton white truck that I love my father bought it in 1987 brand spanking new 2 years later a dich the seal ball joint for some that I can lob my self just for preference and a lady other than that I have never had a problem I am 22 years old and I learned how to drive this truck when I was 11 years old its is a 5 speed manuel trasmission and that truck as every original part in it down to the clutch nothing has ever gone wrong with it and we are so proud of it can even believe that poeple would buy anything else. I now have a 97 F150 my toy and I love it.

 

153,000 miles on a 97 f150 4x4. Most major problem so far is two broken rear axles but we all know what causes that so I cant blame ford for it. Gone through lots of brakes, and lots of gas but we know what causes that too
