Well the first thing that comes to mind is the lovely oil pan. You know, one of the millions that Ford decided to paint while it was wet, trapping moisture under the paint, which made it inevitably rot out. No big deal. $80 for a new oil pan. Oh, did I mention you have to pull the motor to change it? I got used to stopping to check the gas and fill the oil.
All the fenders were rotting.
The shocks were rotted out.
The exhaust was rotted out.
The cat was rotted out.
The coolant looked like sludge when I got it.
I forget what needed to be replaced, I only remember the $350 dollar alignment to get it to track straight.
The thing never tracked a straight line under braking, despite new brakes all the way around.
Yeah, it had an I6. 140hp and 15 mpg highway. What an engine. :rolljerk:
Sure, maybe it was abused before me, but shouldn’t one of the best F150’s ever made be able to take abuse?
Oh, and this was all at the extremely high mileage of 77-90k. In 2002. :jawdrop: Think 1997 Toyotas with 80k miles are rotting away now? But no, Japanese trucks being better is just media propaganda.
It was the product of low quality materials and shoddy manufacturing processes. God help Ford if that was one of the best F150’s ever.
