Re: 2000 Ford F150


mine has 150,000 and runs like the day i drove it off the lot, no problems with tranny and 4x4. Biggest problem is the dents and dings from other people of course

Re: 2000 Ford F150


I don't know if the design changed in 2000, but the 98 seems almost intentionally designed to annoy and irritate its owner. The dashboard is basically made of teflon and molded in the shape of a garbage chute. The result is if you have anything on the dash like job folders, tape measures, pencils, papers, etc the instant you make a turn everything is whisked away and dumped into the passenger floor area. The two seatbelt sockets are made of hard plastic and stick out of the center of the bench seat 4 inches, making that entire middle area unusable and often painful. The seat itself is made with such a ridiculous slope that whatever wasn't dumped on the floor from the dashboard, gets pitched off the seat during normal braking.
Here is the major reason for blowing this truck to bits- the goddam door ajar/seatbelt dinger alarm. That thing is louder than the radio. It wakes up the entire neighborhood if I dont jump out and slam the door immediately. I've tried cutting wires, drilling holes in it,,,nothing kills the thing. I generally pull the fuse out but that also controls the wipers which, as I learned, is dangerous as hell when you get caught in a sudden torrential downpour while on the freeway.
The people who designed these trucks doesn't drive one all day, that's for sure.
