Dependable and has required very few repairs. Starter, alternator and a
water pump since warranty ran out. Original Goodyear tires lasted 67,000
miles, next set-63,000, present mileage is 157,000 and tires still look near new.

Has wondered on uneven roads since new. Dealer even paid for another independent aligner to do a 4wheel alignment. Didn't help. I have replaced
the windshield washer module 2 times. Still no rattles or squeeks.

I purchased this pickup new. It was taken to the dealer quite a few times
while it was under warranty. It has a 5 speed. The original clutch chattered and was replaced. Synchronizers were replaced in the transmission. Except during the warranty period I have had good luck with
this truck.

1971 Ford bought new was a good pickup. Drove it only 67,000 before trading for a wagon. Next pickup was an '80 Ford--I really didn't like it.
I sold it and bought my current '90 Chev. I have some rust and when I purchase the next one it will be at least as new as '98 because of the source of the sheet metal.

Looks, solid and dependable and drives decently.

It has much more power than my 95 ford and gets better gas mileage. It does not stand up to oilfield roads and well as my Ford. I have had to replace front end parts. The ford never had any suspension problems.

Good looking truck and I enjoy driving it. It scoots around town easier
than my crew cab ford. It has a few quirks like noisy exhaust on cold mornings and spongy brakes.

Unreliable, I was stranded on vacation 3 times with this truck

I just got rid of my 1996 K1500, 60,000 miles. Problems from day 1. You name it was replaced. 7 transmissions, Intake Manifold, Alternator, Starter, Flywheel, Numerous transmission tail shafts, Power steering pump, Front axle seals replaced 4 times, rear axle seals, Speed sensor, A/C Compressor and when I traded it in last week, the rear end was shot and the transfer case was grinding. I told the dealer, I didn't want the truck. I now have a new 2001. I did have to pay some out of pocket cash, but believe I have a reliable truck.
