Ford S/C Lariat
Strength:
I love my F-150, it has the 4.6, and it will toast any chevy, I still haven't lost to one yet, but sadly, it was totaled 6 weeks ago by a kid that ran a red light, the side impact beam saved my friends life, That is why I will always buy a Ford. The gas mileage is very good also, about 18-20, and about 400 miles per tank.
Weakness:
the only weakness is that the lariat stiched on the seats came off, no big deal I absolutly love the truck, I would never buy a chevy, because the ford will kill it in many ways, forget what people say about the fords being prone to problems, I have 5 friends with new chevys, and they are always having to take them in because something new breaks. This is the truck to own. As they say Built Ford Tough!!!!! Similar Products Used: 1981 GMC Jimmy, not even close |

, F-150, 4WD, off road
Strength:
There are none, except for the tax write of I get for my business
Weakness:
Barely runs, I put 150,000 mile on it in under a year and now the thing acts like it came from the junkyard. I've replaced; starter, alternator, tranny, rear diff., 4WD system, electrical componets (windows, locks, stereo), wiper pump, head gasket, power steering pump, water pump, fuel injectors, tires, exhaust, and brakes. I heard several good reports about the F series ford pick-ups but after my experiecnes with this model, I'll never go back. If you want a real truck, go with CHEVY. Similar Products Used: My last truck was a General Motors product and at least it went for 250,000 miles before dying on me. I'll be lucky if this beater makes it to 200,000. |

F250 HD
Strength:
It looked cool.
Weakness:
Totally unreliable, poorly built, cheap, cheap, American-made garbage. This was the worst vehicle I've ever owned. I got rid of it at 30K miles and got a Toyota. This truck spent more time in the shop than my driveway. The interior felt like it was made by Hasbro, all plastic parts and rattled like crazy. The seats were incredibly uncomortable. Within 10K miles the front end started making noises. Then the u-joint went. At 20K miles the intake manifold gasket blew. The transfer case started making a grinding noise shortly thereafter and the dealership said it couldn't find the problem. At 25K the rear axle seals both went and ruined the rear brakes. On the way home from a week-long stay at the dealership the engine just simply died. The electrical system went up in smoke. When I finally got the truck back I drove it straight to the Toyota dealership and traded it in. The Toyota ran for 80K miles before I traded it and never had a single problem. I wanted to buy an American car for patriotic reasons but I regret that purchase. It's sad to say but the American cars are really poorly built. Their quality is terrible and the dealerships are unscrupulous. I can't say enough bad things about this product. Similar Products Used: 1982 Toyota Pickup, 1994 Toyota Pickup, 1997 Toyota 4-Runner. No American truck can even remotely compare with the quality of a Toyota. |

f-150 supercab flareside, XLT ,4x4, 5.4l
Strength:
jJust about everthing is great engine, interior, 4x4, and looks the truck looks menacing.
Weakness:
I'd probably have to say the gas mileage is not that great but then again its almost equal to my 1999 f-150 XL 4x2 4.2l and is much nicer and has alot more guts to boot. I have owned the truck for about 2 weeks and I love it. The truck is strong and rugged with no apparent drawbacks as yet. The 5.4l is awsome great power and gobs of torque much better than my previous 4.2l. On a whole I must say the truck is great and is much more comfortable the the competitions trucks. I wouldnt change it for anything. Similar Products Used: I had a 1999 ford but I like this one much better and it kicks the crap outta my friends dodges and some chevys |

Strength:
comfortable ride, strong engine,lots of room, looks great
Weakness:
front doors are to long, hard to get into in some parking lots I have only had one bad experience with this vehicle. the bolt holding the right front brake caliber came out a 75 miles a hour and I lost some braking, the caliber sliped down. Other than that this truck has not given me any trouble runs great and does the job it was purchased for. Similar Products Used: owned 1978 f-150, 75 f-250, 1972 f-150 all four wheel drives |

Strength:
Strong V-8 Very good build quality...nothing falling off or falling apart. Unlike GM vehicles.
Weakness:
Gas mileage I was a little leary of purchasing an American made vehicle after owning imports all of my life. I never had a problem with my Japanese vehicles..most recently a Nissan Pickup..but I wanted a full sized truck. After quickly ruling out any GM product (too many horror stories) I researched and concluded that Ford would be my wisest choice. Turns out I was right. After 18 months I have had no problems at all and have been most pleased with the trucks' overall performance. |

Model Reviewed:
F150 XLT Supercab V6
Strength:
Very smooth ride. Great handling. Excellent fuel mileage for a big truck (20 mpg city). Quiet. Power enough, esp w/ computer chip add-on. Faultless engine. Back fold down seats perfect for my dogs.
Weakness:
Styling...prefer more "trucky" appearance, but for one of Ford's best trucks/year at 15K, who's complaining? It is everything I wanted (and didn't know I wanted) in an automobile. Drove it from Chicago to Virginia...never felt like I was driving a truck (except for riding high), handled the highway and mountain switchbacks with ease. Couldn't believe the 20 mpg fuel usage! Seats in back fold down for my two dogs. Plenty of room in the bed for hauling compost or antiques. Had wanted the V8 4WD, but have learned that the V6 of 1999 is one of Ford's best...get one if you can. Similar Products Used: After driving station wagons, mitsu 4-doors, Jeeps, and BMWs....this is the first automobile that I want to hang on to. |

Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat
Strength:
Lots of ROOM. I'm 6ft. 5in. with size 18 shoes and I fit. Comfortable to ride in. Good looking. Sun roof. Fold down back seats.
Weakness:
Gas mileage Did I say the truck has lots of room? There are plenty of times some of your cargo needs to be carried inside the truck and there are other things you would not want in the truck but in the back. The F-150 gives you the best of both worlds. Similar Products Used: F-150 super cab. Dose note ride as well but still a great truck |
