I actually love this truck. I have to say that this is the simply vehicle used that never permit me down. Information technology was given to me from a family member. 2002 4*four, xlt cab i.5 doors four.0L with transmission manual. I really apply this truck like a horse for work and going places. It has great driving feedback, lots of power decent gas mileage for 4.0 and amazing reliability. On few occasions i pushed newer broken down Toyota's off the main road.

This truck is difficult to beat. I've had no problem at all other than normal maintenance. It now has 73,000 miles and still looks and drives like a brand new truck. This truck is not going anywhere.

Phenomenal for off road. Unfortunately, after 2002 Ford no longer offered the same heavier equipment. So only 2002 FX4 and 2003 FX4 Level II have this capability. Ford just put the label on the later years, but none of the same equipment.

I take the iv.0 in mine and has been a great engine. Mine has 215 chiliad miles and still runs not bad and doesn't fire any oil. I've done normal maintence like fluid changes regularly and take replaced components similar wheel bearings, shocks, water pump, thermostat, valve embrace gaskets and a few other small things. This is expected with any loftier mileage 16 yr quondam vehicle. Overall the reliability has been great. The four bike drive works awesome in the snow and engine has plenty of power and tows a four thousand pound trailer well. I really have fallen in love with this truck and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nifty reliable mid sized truck.

Purchased in 2002 but earlier I retired. Currently (2019) information technology has 44K miles. I had the transmission rebuilt and replaced the fuel pump. The XLT has a 4.0L engine, extra cab configuration. Not very skilful gas mileage and the ride is a little rough. I expect the truck will be around long afterwards I am gone !!!

I've only put 43k miles on it since I've gotten information technology . I only call back information technology's much. My 79ford Thunderbird never had issues why can't they make em similar that anymore ?
