I had a 94 F-150 XLT Lariat best pulling truck I ever had in 4X4 (locking

But man it was not reliable!

In 36,000 miles and 1 year it had the following repairs:

brake pads and rotors replaced 4 times (rotors kept warping)

fan clutch replaced 2 times

HVAC repaired 3 times they finally found the orifice was missing from the
system, the darn thing would only blow cold air while traveling on the
interstate, any time you went to in town traffic mode it blew hot air.

Radio quit 2 times.

Horse feathers. I don't believe it.

So I traded it on my 96 Subaru Outback and so far it has never been in for
any repairs.

My 00 GMC has had the transfer case replaced, the steering gearbox replaced
and the P/S pump replaced (all under warranty) since then it has been a
truly reliable vehicle.

I wish you well with your Ford quality issues.

I have a 2000 F-250 Super Duty 4X4, 7.3 liter diesel and the only
thing I've had go wrong with it was a stuck caliber when I first
bought it. 100,000 miles and it's just getting broken in.

17 mpg around town and 22/23 on the highway.

Best big pickup I've ever owned.

Which have all been Fords.

All of which were traded with no problems at all during the time I
owned them.

What's one of those guys sell for? I paid $19,700 for mine, but I get only 17mpg on the highway.
