"At 257k miles, and still running strong."

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it new back in 1999, and at 257k miles everything works. Only simple maintenance in all those years. Never a major repair, and it's never left me stranded on the side of the road. My repairs consist of shocks, brakes, a couple of coils, a fuel pump, an AC compressor and a ball joint. In sixteen years that's it!

KBB officially now sucks. It used to be good.

KBB is riddled with ads and no information on a general price. Disappointed with KBB. Not enough bad to explain how KBB has wasted my time.

Has undercarriage rust

It's a 2022 with 24k miles. Bought online. Dealer said Perfect in and Out. We'll not surprisingly Not true. The truck had a lot of undercarriage rust and in some areas thr clear coat was blistering. I will have an expense to fix it...but I do like the truck.

Reliable

I've had my Ford F150 for about 20 years with 147,671 on the odometer. The engine and drive train are original and with no apparent major problems/issues. I've regularly maintained it with frequent oil changes, tires, brakes, etc. Currently the mileage is 252,297 and the exhaust is clear! The fabric on the interior is flawlessly clean and the body is exceptionally clean with minor dents and scratches on its original paint that still looks great. It's been a great truck, and it's 4x4 off-road feature came in handy when we lived above a lake and had to drive the steep service roads/hills to up and down. All the instrumentation is original & in working order. Except for the cassette tape player that could not be repaired (Radio still worked just fine) Unfortunately, I had to replace the entire radio/cassette tape player with a current state-of-the-art Radio/CDplayer/Bluetooth/USB/Remote, yuck!
