My Ford f150 is a. Very reliable truck, runs great, 200, 000 miles on it, it's very big and comfy!! Passenger's door window does not work, power windows, cruise control works, has clean title.
accountCircle ricky S
It is a truck with plenty of room.
I love that it is a truck and can seat 6 people. There is nothing that I dislike.
accountCircle Stephen S
My vehicle has been reliable. I will repurchase this model.
My vehicle was purchased new in 2001 when I wanted a roomier driver compartment. It has provided me with many years of reliability, with regular scheduled maintenance being performed throughout. It has required just a few costlier repairs along the way. It continues to provide me good value.

It has lowered suspension and has 22 in chrome wheels.
It runs great and is in great condition. It has new seats. New engine. New motor mounts. New white paint job. New tires. New spark plugs. I have washed the exterior and interior with very detailed cleaning so that it look like brand new. Runs like a champ. You would think k it is brand new.
accountCircle steven f
It came with a cd, am and fm radio, prower string.
Gets good gas miles. Easy to work on. Grate for pulling things.the cost of one is will worth the money.
accountCircle mary h
The most important thing to me is the way it drives so smooth
I'm a truck person..so I love my ford! It's also a four wheel drive so that's a plus. It's nice if I have something I need to haul. The only dislike I have is it needs more room in the cab
accountCircle David C
It is great on gas considering it has a v8 engine in it.
Truck runs very well I have had a few issues with sensors in the transmission and front end parts like ball joints and tie rod ends other than that it is a great vehicle it is very comfortable inside has a full 8 foot bed and it is really easy on gas considering it is got a v8 engine in it.

If the car is able to start and if the engine is working and good.
The vehicle is used and has some dents in the side. When I bought it and started it, the heard the engine making a rough noise. It takes a few seconds to start.
accountCircle Mariama Y
It drives much better than it looks! And carries a heavy load for my work!
My truck maybe old but it's shown itself to be durable! I have had it for about 6 or 7 months now and though I faced difficulty in the beginning it got better as I drove it!
accountCircle raymond k
It is a reliable car but is expensive to keep an upkeep on it
Runs okay, doesn't break down that often but does as a lot if problem with the rust and oil that leaks out
accountCircle Alyssa K
The Ford 2001 is known for having leaky seals in the back
The truck was good when it was new, but it is very old now. It has broken down many times but that is expected with an old car. When we bought it, it was a lemon so it had many problems. Although these trucks do last a long time, the there was a lot of problems.
accountCircle Jacob B
I like the convenience of having a pick up, but as a 2001, it is not so good on gas
My 2001 F150 serves its purpose. But it is not the greatest in gas mileage.
accountCircle Ashlyn P
It gets me from point A to point B.
My transmission is failing. Have a slight oil leak. My entire dash is destroyed. Guzzles gas like crazy.
accountCircle Phillip P
It's quite old. Very big and tough to drive compared to smaller cars. I have a love hate relationship with it. I love it cause of size functionality and it's my grandfathers. I hate its age and how slow it is. I hate how much money I spend on gas driving it.
I like the size of the truck. I mainly like it because it used to be his. I like that it's something to have during the winter months when it is icy. The truck bed comes in handy when having to move things. Most of what I dislike is due to age and being out of date. Lack of technology no gps, no option to hook up phone to play music, terrible speakers. I dislike how long it takes to accelerate that's always frustrating. I hate how it's a gas guzzler. It's about 50-60 bucks to feel up. And it's only 14 miles per gallon. The interior design of the truck is out of date. I'm sure I'd love the truck much more if it was an F-150 from a current year.
accountCircle Ryan w
It's not a very reliable vehicle
I like the 4 wheel drive. It has not been a very reliable vehicle

Love mine. Over 200k now and has been great. Always changed the oil with motorcraft oil and filter.
accountCircle Laura B on April 2, 2021
It is a green truck that I really love to drive.
My truck is a green Ford. It is a older model but still runs good. It needs some work but should be a good vehicle for a long time. It has given us a lot of good riding time with both highway and city miles. I love that I can haul things off with my truck.
