1985 F250 4x4 460ci. Stump puller, but total POS. Never saw better than 8mpg under any conditions.....blew first engine at 800 miles......blew 2nd engine at 28,000. I sold it at 38,000 miles but kept the 1-1/2" of warranty paperwork from the buyer. Averaged 4 months a year of rental cars while owning this. Interestingly, I had two neighbors with the same vehicle in the 2WD version and they never had a problem.

This was the third Ford I'd owned, the first NEW Ford I'd ever owned, and last Ford I ever owned.

So you have not owned a Ford since you sold that 1985 model with 38k miles? Did I read that right? But you are on this F150 forum? Why does that seem strange? Maybe you are thinking about buying a Ford after all these years?

The main reason we ddi this was because Ford never took any government money!
Your truck is beautiful and your reason for buying Ford is right on!

I've had two 2001 f150s that were both used (black lariat and green kr), and my fist new one is a 2012 FX4 5.0 . Love them all!

Mine was a 1994 XL regular cab 4x2 with a 5-speed manual and the 4.0L inline six. The only option it had was A/C. Love that trucks and lots of good times. It was a real workhorse.

Very sharp truck Melwinn. Love that gray and FX4 decals.

My first truck is my 2011 FX4 SCREW ECO and I am loving it so far. No major problems with 18k on it. Love it being a headturner.
