our expert's take

Getting to normal for many Americans means going shopping. But for my wife and me, it means dumping what was bought. Maybe, next time, we’ll buy less or we’ll buy smarter. But the task of the moment is to clean house, clear basement, empty garage and haul away.

It is a time of whacked serendipity, thanks to the appearance of pickups on the test schedule. I’ve written before about my little wife from Texas and her big addiction to trucks, especially pickups. She practically salivates when one shows up in the driveway.

I think: “Nice truck.” She thinks: “Hallelujah! We’re going to get some work done this weekend.”

That’s not the worst of it. She tends to buy trucks. She was controllable when she was buying Chevrolets. Now, she’s fallen in love with Ford, specifically the Ford F-150 with the optional 260-horsepower, 5.4-liter Triton V-8 engine.

It happened this way: Ford shipped a special-edition 2001 F-150 Sport XLT for a week-long run. The four-wheel-drive truck had a regular cab and a 6 1/2-foot “flareside” cargo box. “Flareside” means the box was affixed with bulging fenders, reminiscent of a horse’s haunches.

There were steps on either side of the box. Like stirrups, they were designed to give a leg up to anyone climbing aboard, or loading the box. This made sense, as did the matte-black tie-down hooks in the box’s four corners. But I was baffled by Ford’s limited use of composite liner material to protect the cargo box from dents and scratches.

On the test truck, Ford used a composite liner on the upper edges of the cargo bed. But the bed’s floor and interior walls were left unprotected. My guess is that this was a fuel-economy move. Composite scratch-and-dent protectants, such as DuraLiner, add weight to vehicles.

Weight consumes fuel. Excess fuel consumption in new vehicle fleets leaves automakers vulnerable to penalties under federal fuel-economy laws. So, from a business viewpoint, it’s better to let retail buyers choose composite shields as add-on equipment.

But the lack of a complete composite liner did not stop us from loading up the cargo box. We hauled away an old dishwasher and lots of scrap metal and miscellaneous junk. We carried loads of lumber and tools for household repair.

To me, it was work. To Ms. Texas, it was a big-truck adventure, made even more enjoyable by the pull and roar of the F-150’s Triton V-8. She was embarrassing.

“Oh-my-God, this is a truck!” she exclaimed on one of the dump missions. “Oh-my-God, this is power! This is good! This thing can run!”

I reminded her that running too fast in a fully loaded pickup is not an especially good move. The F-150 is one of the tallest pickups, at 75.4 inches from ground to roof. Ground clearance on the test model was measured at 8 inches, ground to rear axle. Failure to load this one properly, or to properly inflate its Goodyear Wrangler tires, cou ld lead to rollover. Improper loading, combined with improper tire pressure and careless driving, is really tempting fate.

The 2001 F-150 comes with a short/long-arm independent front suspension system. The test truck showed the value of this design. It had easier steering, overall better handling and a smoother ride than older F-150 models.

But the rear suspension remained old hat. It was a non-independent, bumpy-under-light-loads leaf-spring design.

No matter. The three-seat regular-cab truck was ergonomically correct. Gauges and instruments were easily reachable and readable. The interior was spartan without embracing poverty, which truly pleased Ms. Texas.

“Does this come with a double-cab?” she asked.

“Supercab and Crew Cab,” I said.

“Whatever,” she said. “I want one of these.”

My heart sank.

  • Weak aluminum heads that pop the plugs out stripped head

    Weak aluminum heads that pop the plugs out stripped head threads as the result. This puts a large amount of money to be put on the owner they don’t know about when purchasing it.

  • Most reliable truck I've owned

    This truck met all my needs and is so reliable. It never left me stranded. Runs true and smooth. Best color on the market. Traveled throughout the US with confidence. Has been maintained always with recent parts and accessories. Great for every day driver or that teen that just started driving.

  • Best vehicle, period, I have ever owned.

    I pull a 9-ton boat, 10.4 x 36' with ease and have no problems at all, twin 300HP engines, 310 gallons of fuel 80 gallons of water, etc, etc. Hills are no problems either. I keep the speed at 60 mph on the highways and get 7-8 MPG. The boat gets 0.7 MPG. I use 4x4 launching and retrieving, for safety reasons and some of the ramps are extremely steep and it pulls the boat out loaded with 8 friends, gear, 100 lbs of ice and plenty of fish. I I don't think any other truck could come close with the demands I ask of it. My truck has 294,751 miles and runs like the day I bought it. Am I happy? You better believe it. I keep it looking brand new and perform all maintenance without fail. I think meticulous maintenance is the key to longevity and reliability but most importantly, it's a FORD, 5.4, KR. with all towing features by Ford. No aftermarket parts are installed. Ford, 100%.

  • One of the best trucks I’ve owned

    I bought my 2001 F-150 about 6 months ago. It had around 164k when I got it now it’s over 170k, nothing but reliability since. I bought the truck with a full service history dating back to 2006 and a partial dating the entire life of the truck. And you get what you pay for if you maintain the truck. Since owning it all I’ve done is routine maintenance, namely oil changes. The coils and plugs need to be changed now and I had a AC line develop a leak, but they are the original factory parts. The truck still fires right up and drives where I need to go. She ain’t the prettiest thing on the road but not the ugliest. The interior has held up well over the years and still looks good for its age showing minimal wear. This is my second ford truck with over 150,000 miles and now I’m a ford truck only guy, my first was a 1997 ranger. My last GM developed a tick at 55k and threw 2 rods. Not the case with the fords I’ve had. I would recommend a good used ford truck any day of the week.

  • I cant believe that this truck has this many issue

    I seriously think that there shouldve been a recall on this transmission. I have heard over 100 horror stories about how the truck keeps loosing either all forward gears or reverse due to a faulty forward clutches drum. Im currently in the process of changing mine out. I bought this truck about a month ago and as soon as i got it home bam theres all forward movement. It goes reverse just fine. Its cost me a lot of money to try and fix and I havent even gotten the trans out yet. I made a dumb mistake of buying the truck "AS IS", because I feel as if I got screwed pretty bad.
