1993 Ford F150 Regular Cab

very good second car or work truck

By Glenn (TX) on Tuesday, April 16, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 184,000

Pros: "Good solid work truck, doesn't use oil,a/c works,"

Cons: "needs some work on the extras"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"Needs starter, needs 1 tire and uses 60 series tires. needs windshield wipers, needs bed painted and paint comes with it. Bed needs some body work and is fiberglass. Bed has bed sanded and primered and has spray in bed liner. Has power windows but needs new master switch. Switch can be shorted or jumped on the drivers side and makes windows work. Alarm has been removed but is in the truck if someone wants to replace it."

Not a great truck

By JunkerLover (CO) on Thursday, April 11, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 135,000

"Earlier in its life this truck was great for long highway trips hauling modest loads. The V8 has plenty of get-up and go. This truck ages badly. The cloth interior has shredded, the step is fiberglass so any tire problems will damage it. The cup holders are too shallow to do anything but topple a beverage onto the dash. It cannot handle larger tires. The wear on the running gear is extreme. On good notes, the engine is still good at 135000, as it should be. The cruise still works. The clutch however is gone, the interior is trashed and the windows only work every second Sunday. This truck is like a crossover. Its not really good at being a truck (no 4WD, light suspension, high gear ratio, etc.) and its definitely not a car (low mpg, long as a limo, whistling back window...). If you want a truck, get a real truck that can haul things and get out of mud. If you want a highway vehicle with beef get a SUV that will get 25-30 mpg. This is an enduro, not fit for highway or dirt."

"I bought this F150 from a friend who took excellent care of it; that was five years ago. This truck has been very reliable with few repair needs. It handles well and is comfortable too. I like the multiple electronic seat adjustments for longer trips."

excellent TRUCK for TRUCK stuff

By Luke (OK) on Thursday, March 28, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 100,000

Pros: "rugged and reliable"

Cons: "no cup holders, cassete was the only stereo option"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"The trucks motor is strong and durable, ive seen it be abused many times and it runs like it always has, smooth and quiet. The trucks transmission runs smoothly although i wish it had an option of 5 speeds instead of a 4 speed auto. The suspension is rugged yet smooth, although more rugged as it is a truck. The interior is nice and there is not a crack on the dash and its legally a classic by now. all parts on mine are original all are in good working order. The one thing that is inconvenient about the tendency for the switch that changes the tanks goes out after awhile. expected gas mileage for a v8 truck but not bad on the highway. I would recommend this truck to anyone needing a reliable ride, something to tow with, or for a first truck in highschool."
