Once again, the 1998 Ford F-150 topped the U.S. truck market in sales. The perennial favorite continued to depend on its ruggedness, reliability, and variety of choices for buyers. Trims available were the XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat; short-bed and long-bed versions, as well as stepside and styleside choices, were offered for each incarnation of the '98 Ford F-150.
Inside the 1998 Ford F-150, the watchword was "comfort." Cab choices included 2-door and 3-door standard and extended cabs, and CD systems were a popular option. Under the hood, the accent was on power; the 98 Ford F-150 offered buyers a choice among a 4.6 liter Essex V-6, a 4.6 liter Triton V8, and a 5.4 liter Triton V-8 topping out at 235 horsepower. Optional four-wheel drive with automatic locking hubs made this tough pickup a favorite with off-road adventurers.

What owners say
"Overall, drivers really appreciate the 1998 Ford F-150 for its reliability, power, and versatility. Many enjoy the spacious cabin and strong V8 engine, making it fun to drive both on and off-road. However, several drivers expressed concerns about poor gas mileage and the handling of the truck, particularly when it comes to tight turns or extra weight in the back."
Great truck I love to drive it. The truck was very well put together, have had no problems. The only thing I have had to do with the truck is change the oil. I am the second owner and I love it.
March 23, 2012I love that I can beat the hell out of it and it still runs pretty good. Its low maintanence and I love that. It hauls what I want it to haul. I barely have to drive because I can't fit more that 2 people (including driver) comfortably. It rocks and it's the best truck ever.
June 23, 2008I enjoyed driving the Ford F-150. It was roomy and spacious with plenty of storage compartments. I like not having a center console and being able to move freely in the cabin. I also like being able to seat 3 people comfortably. This is a nice truck with the exception of the paint. The paint on the F-150 is very dull.

July 31, 2007my truck is 13 years old and the only problem i have had out of it is a slight coolant leak fixed it 45 minutes. It drives great and sounds great with the straights on it. Performance is pretty good for a small V8 it has great torque and handles pretty good too.
April 4, 2012My truck has over 250,000 miles on it. It still runs and looks great, I would say that repair bills have been less than expected for a vehicle its age. The power and gas mileage have gone down slightly over the years, but that is expected.
March 19, 2012Only a few modifications done to improve performance. Installed ractive cold air intake for more air, 3-1/2" Supreme Performance Vortec V Baffle exhaust. Programable computer.
January 24, 2008Great truck. Fun to drive. I had the V6 w/ 5-speed manual. My only complaint was the poor gas mileage of the V6, about 18 mpg.
October 21, 2021Likes: 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.
December 23, 2008There's not that much room in the back for kids to ride in on long trips camping. While pulling a camper I've had to add air bag suspension on it to level the truck out. But it's paid for and easy to work on.
December 12, 2014I have had my 98 ford F150 for about 6 months and love it. Ford makes one of the toughest trucks on the road today. i hate fueling it up $75 to $80 to fill it up but its fairly easy on gas. my truck has 300,000 miles on it and still running like a new truck.
