1998 Ford F150 XLT 4.6 Triton V8
Summary:
Nice to own a "head-turner" again.
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong, yet. I have only had my Ford for 2 weeks. I did some research on full-sized trucks when I decided to move up from a mid-size, and the F-150 had the best for customer satisfaction. The power mirror switch doesn't work in 1 direction, but I can live with that. I would have thought that a 1998 would come with a CD player instead of a tape deck. Seats are a little uncomfortable on long drives.
General Comments:
I find the ride a bit "bouncy", but my truck is 4 wheel drive, and is the short box version, so I expect that. It feels like a very solid truck despite all the plastic in the interior. No rattles or squeaks. I love having a V8, especially since my last truck was a V6. The extra power will come in handy for towing our 23 foot trailer. Looks and runs great. This truck is a head-turner.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Our 98 came with the tape deck in the front and a six disc changer in the back. A little out of reach when driving but easy access from the ground. Its location will cause a skip if you slam the door though.
