Ford F-150

"great acceleration, great handling, comfortable seats, trouble free since new."

"I like my Ford very much and it's been a great work truck. Few problems; it's a work house and very dependable. It has great acceleration and handles great on the flat or in the mountains. It's good at towing and hauling heavy loads."

"The Triton 5.4 V8 is a workhouse and handles well for a truck build in 2001. Newer models have a softer ride but it is a truck so I'm fine with it."

"It is simply a very comfortable vehicle to drive. We take it on all the trips instead of the other two cars. Even though it has 180,000 mile on it."

"This pick-up is responsive in acceleration and has good smooth ride, and is easy to drive. Very good truck to be 18 years old."

"This truck is very stable and easy to drive at slow and fast speeds (highway). Mine has 172,000 miles on it and it is a vehicle I would buy for a kid in high school or college."

"Handling and acceleration are perfect at all speeds."

"Both are good"

"Handles well in traffic. Comfortable ride, excellent acceleration."

"Fabulous acceleration and handling. 400 hp in a truck is very fun to drive. Road holding ability is wonderful."

"I have towed our Jayco Ultra-lite 29 ft travel trailer from the Canadian border to San Diego and back twice with no problem. My F150 has the small 4.6L V8 engine and it gets 12 mpg while towing and 17 mpg normally."

"as good as it gets."

"Has all the power and acceleration I need, and handing is great."

"handles very well, very responsive acceleration, very satisfactory pick-up"

"has good acceleration (V8 ) engine. good handling"

"I can drive all day in these bench seats and never be sore."

"There is a lot of cabin noise."

"comfortable quiet ride"

"I never get tired driving this truck. Even after 17 years, the truck is rattle free, low maintenance, quiet, comfortable, and quick. My main complaints about it are (1) the paint has peeled off the dashboard and (2) the driver's seat leatrher has disintegrated (foam remains OK). I thin k this is my fault for driving while sweating, dirty, etc., and not maintaining/protecting the leather."

"Very comfortable but the ride is not as good as today's new trucks."

"comfortable ride"

"A fair number of rattles within the cab."

"Smooth riding and quiet very little inside noise from the road or wind."

"Have enjoyed everything about this truck since bought new in 2000."

"Plenty of room. The adjustable pedals accommodate a wide variety of drivers. Even with the seat nearly all the way back there is plenty of room for the passengers in the back seat."

"Seats are comfortable the ride is fairly comfortable there is some outside noise but all in all it's a good experience"

"There frankly is no bad. This vehicle has been great from day one. The seats are very comfortable, little outside noise, this truck rides like a car."

"Ride is great, seats still comfortable? Good acceleration"

"The seats are prefect for long drives. I often do round trips of 500km in one day. They are the second best seats I have ever had (Focus Leather being the best). Supportive with little long term stress."

"The foam deteriorated quickly in the bottom seat for the driver. Awkward seating position leads to discomfort."

"What a Fantastic truck. 17 years old, over 125 thousand miles and still running and looking like a champ. Besides one or two recalls the only warranty work it had was to wires for the cruise control and A injector. I replaced two spark plugs coils for failure. At 115,000 I replaced the remaining sparks plug coils as well as the spark plugs and basic items and got 20 MPG going down to Florida with far less than a quart of oil consumed for the entire trip. Still very comfortable ride for 4 adults..."

"Nice to be above most of the traffic. Comfortable seats, leg room for the driver and passenger. Adjustable pedals is good for us (I'm 13 inches shorter than my husband)"

"Had this truck since new and still enjoy it, but paint is starting to crack. But it is 18 years old"

"I feel that we got the vehicle initially for a very reasonable price for the features it has. In addition, operating costs have not been excessive despite the age of and mileage on the truck."

"Good luck in finding a one owner 2001 with the original everything on it."

"We have had no major work on this truck. Over the years we have had work on the air conditioning and the spark plugs. Since retired we don’t use this vehicle every day. We also have a 93 Mercedes."

"It was worth the money at the time I purchased it and it proved to exceed my expectations."

"Longevity"

"The XLT is a solid no-frills truck, does what a truck needs to do. My 2001 was before trucks became luxury family vehicles. It still does the job and I'll probably have it for another 10 years."

"One of the best vehicles we've owned. Very few costly repairs outside of normal wear and tear."

"It's a truck..it hangs in there with a minimum of routine maintenance. We've not had it 16 years. So dependable. Gas mileage...not so good."

"Great value because we have not put much money into upkeep. Very reliable truck."

"I love my Ford F-150. Can't find anything I dislike about the vehicle."

"It has held up well with few problems over 16 years. It has consistently been able to tow over 4,000 pounds loads for distances in excess of 500 miles. I particularly like the fact that it has adjustable height brake pedals and an electronic rear window opener. Unfortunately back in 2001 GPS and car phone connections were not an option."

"I bought this truck 16 years ago and commuted two hours a day in it for over 5 years. It's a 1/2 ton truck and I was able to pull a 3-horse trailer with it, up steep hills. It is the most mechanically reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I've driven my Camry about the same number of miles, it's 10 years newer, but i've had at least double the repairs on it. It's still running great at almost 17 years old-not many cars will do that."

"The truck has performed well over the years. I have replaced the fuel pump 2 times from the original. Both times outside of the warranty at the cost of $750 and $ $900 respectively. Good that I had discounts on parts from Costco. The radio & display went blank about 4 years ago. The letters do not display completely or not at all. Radio still plays but no display to see time or stations. Ford says it's either a electrical problem or radio is malfunctioning, too expensive to fix. Now electrical w..."

"Other than a cracked hose from aging that is very good only thing I've had to do was to put on new brakes and new tires after a few years of use."

"Based on the fact that I have owned it for nearly 17 years and it has given me no trouble, this is some of the best money I ever spent. The pickup has been trouble free."

"A fantastic vehicle for me for all the years."

"Can't buy a new truck today for what I paid for this truck. Worth every penny."
