New to me 1989 F150 and new to forum
Drove 2 hours outside of town into the country and bought a 1989 xlt Lariat F150 with 300 V6 and Mazda 5 speed. A Little rust on the the wheel wells, peeled paint, reflector busted on tailgate trim, BUT a solid truck for hardware store runs and pulling a small trailer on the weekends. Looking forward to my first truck (daily driver is a 2017 Kia Sportage).

Just put a set of Firestone Destination 235/75R15 tires on. They seem smaller than the 255/70R15 tires that were wearing out, but I'm happy to have some new tires on it. I also had them (TiresPlus) do a front end alignment, oil change and rear differential fluid change. Probably spent more than I should have, but I'm hoping to get all of the routine yearly maintenance done so I have a baseline moving forward.
