I do keep this truck garaged and well maintained but I cant get over how it still drives and looks like new. Yes I could go out and throw down $50k on a new f150 but after I drive this one I see no reason to. It's in retirement now; only put about 1,000 miles a year on it going to Home Depot and the dump and it stay's in the garage otherwise. I hope to keep this truck well into the "classic" status.

Me and my wife took it to the drive in last night and I wanted to share a few pics:

It's a 2000, Lariat 5.4/100% original/stock with 114k on the clock:

 

I know the feeling. My girl is only 11 years old but I feel the same way.

 

Same here about my '02 Supercrew, 5.4 3:55 locking differential. People think it's new!

 

I love my 2001 SuperCrew also! 148k on the clock....bought it used with 85k on it, and I love it and would not buy a new truck! Rides like a dream and runs really well! Just wish the paint job was in better condition.....

 

this is a nice truck. I have a 2013 which I plan to keep nice like this. I probably will put about 5000 miles a year on it.

 

My 1997 f 150 Lariat looks almost identical to yours, and I feel the same way. Same color same wheels love the truck

 

nice truck, REALLY nice truck.
I only traded my '01 because with 285k on the clock, knew I was living on borrowed time. Never even had a CEL or major repair needed except the 'letric fuel pump went out at 250k.

 

Same here with my truck. I'm finally touching up the bottom of the door since they all started with rust. Couple coats of rust bullet and then some topcoat with Krylon.

 

I am thinking of picking one up for a very good price. It has 132000 on it, what type of typical issues do they have that I might want to look out for?

 

Year? Engine? Body style? Trim level?

 

Sorry.

2000 6cyl xlt 5spd 132000 miles

Does this help?

 

My truck is not nearly in that good of shape, but I still love my truck. 207000 miles and she purrs like a kitten. 1997 4.6l xlt 4wd.

 

I would start a new thread if I were you. There are so many knowledgeable people on this website. Mine is the 5.4 L lariat super crew so I'm not sure how much carries over. Probably a lot of it and I have had zero problems with this truck.

 

I'm curious have you or any of you guys had issues with the rear half doors not seating properly unless you SLAM them hard? We've had this issue for the majority of the time we've owned our '99. Still breathes though (barely) never had many issues with it unless age and snow are part of it. Dang thing just will not die.

 

I have a 2003 F-150 XLT Crew cab with 81k miles on her. The past few years I have been putting less than 5k miles on her as we have a 3/4 ton diesel that is used for towing our boat. I do have a couple of light scratches here and there and some rust on the rear passenger door where the weather stripping is located.


I have an 8 year old son so he may be driving it in another 8 years, yikes.
