1998 Ford F-150 3 Dr Lariat 4WD Extended Cab SB Reviews

Its got great handling and braking.  The acceleration is great for a 4.6l v8.  i wish it was a 5.4 but what can you do.
  I did have to do a few repairs on it over the past few years.  The sway bar endlinks did rust through and have to be replaced for like $20. The rear diff got water in it and need to have the fluid changed (dont forget friction modifier!), which was due to pilot error ( don't submerge the back half of your truck in water to pull out a boat...) and brake torque burnouts do put enough to stress on your car to eventually break your u-joints.  I have had a problem with a squeak in the suspension in the front passanger side.
Inside of the car looks great with the 50th aniversary leather seats.   Outside is a bit scratched up from hunting, but looks good after a wax, especially the 4x4 emblems on the sides.
Although it costs a pretty penny to drive, with 10 - 12 mpg but if you need a truck, its a good one.
Its tons of fun to drive, on and off-road. handles great in the mud if you got 4x4.

Likes: 1 4x4 works like a charm
          2 goes alot of places in just 2wd
          3 semi-comfortable front seats

Dislikes: 1 Back seats aren't comfortable for people over 5 foot 6 inches
              2 suspension needs to be stiffer in the rear

Cost of ownership Have had the truck since September and have only put gas and took it in for L.O.F.

love the truck hate to work on it but over all great truck
