Should i buy a 1992 Ford f150 super cab? The milage is at 150000(automatic) and the odometer is broken. She drives very well.
I just hate the all electronics
I get it. Needless electronic stuff annoys me too.
Here's a tip ...
Early 2000's stuff is still not too bad. With a bit of basic electrical skills, it's still DIY fixable. Not too many computers.
Stick with commercial vehicles.
3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups. They're made more reliable and there's less doo-dads. Low-tech.
The F-150s are made for people who want pavement princesses. They're not working trucks.
That's also going to help you with your towing.
Vans are also low-tech. They know people buy them for work. I've got a GMC van, and it's primitive. No computer modules for doors, HVAC, locks or any of that stuff. Just powertrain and that's it.
Manual mirrors. Power locks are basic. Anyone with meter can work on it.
Thank you so much!!
for a few hundred bucks maybe. But have a mechanic inspect it first to make sure it's not a ticking time bomb
He did show me all the thing that were replaced, with an actual recipient that gave the part replaced or that was maintenenced. I drove it as well and it seemed fine. He wants like 4 grand for it though. He has a clean title and I wanna use it to haul an RV. I'm really into older trucks so I thought it was a good buy for all the things he's done to it as well as the truck being in such a good condition. I wasn't expecting it to runn so smooth. My only complaint it the dash needs the P,R,N signs adjusted because you can't really tell what you're in, but I can fix that my self. I guess I'm more concerned with the longevity of the truck
He did show me all the thing that were replaced,
What did he replace?
That's nice, but this is the person that wants money from you. What didn't he show you? And how do you know the work was done properly?
Trust me, you need an impartial 3rd party who knows cars to look at it.
He wants like 4 grand for it though.
that's a lot for a 30yo vehicle with high mileage.
I wanna use it to haul an RV.
Asking an old worn out truck to tow sounds like an exercise in disappointment.
I'm really into older trucks
then I hope you have a lot of money because they're money pits
Yeah I supposed that's true. I just hate the all electronics in the new trucks ya know? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have a mechanic look at it
What about 2003 dodge ram 1500 SLT(6 ft lift)it's a hemi 5.7v8
Dodge, RAM, etc was bought by European Fiat/Stellantis, and it's crap.
