Ford surprised me.

Bought 99 xlt 4x4 in 2015. I live in Iowa. I do a lot of hunting and wood hauling. So I use the 4x4 a lot. I pull a 5x8x3 trailer when wood cutting and load the truck and trailer down heavy. She grunts a little but enough power there to get it done. Only been stuck in the snow once due to clearance and have tested it's yanking power pulling bigger vehicles out that were in there pretty good. It's supposed me. I've replaced minimal parts. Gas tank was the biggest chore. Standard rust out. Biggest engine problem to diagnose was the fuel filter. Engine knocks like a diesel engine but has plenty of power and keeps on ticking. Change oil every 5k or close to it. Plenty of cab room and leg room. Maintenance has been minimal I guess. Would buy another if the deal was right. Current mileage 186kish. It's due for some bigger maintenance now. Front end parts kit brakes rotors all around and rear seals. Not bad for a truck that's seen a lot more gravel roads than hiways. Rust is average. Rocker panels and starting on the front of box. It's been a good truck.

Most reliable truck I ever owned. 21 years

This truck served me well for 21 years. Met all my needs for comfort, reliability, performance and style. Towed my 21' boat, never left me stranded.

Owned For 20 Years- Original Owner

I love this truck, nice ride with Michelin truck tires. The V-6 has been improved with K&N air filter and Flow Master exhaust by Walker. Got only 64,000 miles on her. Put money into it but now I'm being rewarded! No fancy bells and whistles. Only paid $22,000; a far good deal say than spending $60,000 for a truck now days!

Best truck built in 99 bar none...

1999 F150, 4.6, Auto, great truck 155k and it still runs and drives great. This truck will see 300k no problem if the maintenance is kept up. Does not smoke, knock, clunk, or shake, the dash and interior are holding up nicely, Driver's seat shows wear on the leather...

Trucks are good but one thing to remember.

Remember 4.6 the way to go the 5.4 is good motor if you keep up with services but the motor has its problems. But you can fit 37 inch tall tires on stock suspension and stock keys. Big boy troks

Tough little work truck

Me and my grandpa have owned this truck for over 10 years put 100k miles on it and it still runs good. Its a good strong truck. Its got the v6 with manual trans and 4wd. Its not perfect got a lot of dents and stuff but not much rust. Its a real simple truck no power windows or locks. its got over 300k milles now.
