1998 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

I bought my XL extended cab long bed in 2004 @54,000 miles. 2024 only 104,000 miles so far. Runs great smog test was great. Having a long bed really helps when working around the house. Only issues are the pull cables for the extra side door. Going to replace that including brake and hood cables. Other then that the Best truck iv'e ever owned 🇺🇸👍

Got my ‘98 F150 from my father. This truck had also been my grandfathers and my uncles at some point. It’s 26 YO this year with almost 430k miles on it. The interior has fallen apart a bit over the years but it has been heavily used as a work vehicle and covered in paint. But in my eyes, he’s still beautiful. I grew up in this vehicle and now I’m raising my kids in it. He’s still entirely reliable and dependable and gets me to and from everywhere, even state to state. He was definitely built Ford tough!!

I bought a 98 f150 lariat and had 62k miles when I bout it, now I have 183000 and only thing ever went wrong was 1 axle seal, 2 batteries, 1 alternator....best vehicle ever...very dependable

It is April 2022. My 1998 Ford 150 4.6 Still runs!! A lot of broken parts but easy to repair but the engine transmission are okay 230,000. Getting ready to take it to the mountains in Colorado!

This truck is still running like a champ. 309,465 miles on it. Strong as I first bought it used at 75,000. Secret change the fluids regularly, fix when needed. When parts ware change them. You take care of it it will take care of you.

I bought my 98 F150 used and had been wrecked. I replaced all front end suspension and steering components. Drives good, four wheel drive is great! Very reliable and is now my tool truck. There are only two things that really need addressed is the front seats need some kind of lumbar support and the 4.6L engine pings under load and must either run a fuel with higher octane or add an octane booster to the lower grade fuels.

This truck's engine (4.6l V8) and automatic transmission are solid. If buying used the front suspension will probably need work as mine did. The comfort is simply alright, for a truck. The 99's to 03' seats are much more comfortable. The gas mileage was around 14mpg mixed, 11-12mpg city, and up to 18mpg highway from personal experience.

I’ve owned my truck for about 5 years. Before that it was my grandpas and sat for about 7 years without running. When I went to get it, it started right up as if nothing had happened. It’s a 98 model with about 98,000 miles on it and hasn’t had any issues outside of the regular service that all cars need! It’s a great truck!

My 1998 f 150 supercab with 4.6 motor was the best truck I have ever owned. It now has 356k on it and the only reason i was to get another is i need 4x4 and more doors. I will miss the longbed but it has been reliable and easy to work on and has towed ttailers for at least half its life.

I've mainly used this for hauling and winter driving. But even when I would have to drive to the cities it was smooth. Not one engine or tranny issue yet as the previous owner as well as i took great care of it. Very dependable with lots of power still.
