Hello there!

Hey I’m new around here I’m thinking about getting a 95 f-150 manual or auto don’t care. Reason why I want one because previous project an integra was a ****ty first car experience and hard for a beginner lol. I’m looking for a new car and just new into a car scene in general. I want to know what should I look for into buying one and What to avoid and NOT be being towed multiple times like my integra lol, and can I even buy one of these truck round the 6-7k price? If your reading this thanks!

Off the top of my head, you might want to aim for 1996 or later. That will give you access to OBD2 diagnostics, which is a lot easier for a beginner and will help to avoid a ****ty experience.

A good place to start some research on this would be in the 1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks forum.

Welcome aboard!

welcome to the site
another look for 96 up as it will be very rare to find a 95 with California emissions' that has obd 2 . don't jump feet first into buying, start bottom up with a careful look at the FRAME and up as many of these trucks are now cancer buckets good luck
