    My mom worked for Ford from 89 to 01, she drove me around

    My mom worked for Ford from 89 to 01, she drove me around in an F150 most of my childhood so I’ve always wanted one. Had a big Craigslist come-up with this 168k miles one owner, CA truck. 2wd, 5spd, single cab 4.9 I6. Such a straight forward, friendly, beautiful truck. Badass, cute and cool at the same time. A little patina makes it look even better. Reminds me of my childhood… Exactly what I wanted: a pure truck. An epic time for the USA and Ford. So thankful I found this!

    Phenomenal truck. Instant classic.

    They do not make trucks like this anymore. It is simply one of the easiest vehicles to work on. I get more people stopping me to chat about this truck than almost anything I have ever driven. Thank you Ford!

    Heavy hauler

    I bought this truck after I couldn't pull my boat out of the water in OCT/NOV/DEC. My old 1986 F-150 with 2 wheel drive couldn't. This truck was great to get on & off ice with.

    Most reliable and fun truck to drive.

    I felt like a teenager again sitting on top of the world. Plenty of power , good visibility 360 degrees, drove smoothly and easy to maintain. I got almost 200,000 miles on it when I sold and am ready for a newer one, but miss my old one.

    Its is built FORD TOUGH !!

    Great truck, ive owned the truck since 2007, and nothing has truly went wrong, when u exclude regular maintenance. The radiator started leaking 4 years ago, it overheated moderately only once. I had it towed and had the leaky radiator replaced....had absolutely zero overheating ever since, and it did NOT crack the engine head or block, zero oil leaks, and it runs like the overheating never happend. And YES, I AM still driving the truck TODAY. Therefore, the truck is very durable, and dependable, and MOST of the replacement parts are STILL easy to find TODAY !!! The dashboard and interior buttons look a bit cheap and have a lack of style to me, however, under the hood and the truck body is TRULY FORD TOUGH !!!!!
