I've owned every generation of F150 since 1985, and I've worked at a Ford dealership for two decades. I have to say this generation (97-04) was the best made in terms of long-term solidity and quality. There's a few mechanical gremlins you have to sort out, but the body and interiors remain so solid in the long run compared to the other gens. I still own a 99 with 190k miles and there's no squeaks or rattles and it still drives like a new truck.
I agree man I’m a teen and I just got one with 228k miles and still drives smooth and haven’t had any major problems with it
@@fyourmom2173he’s prolly talking about how the 5.4 like to shoot it’s spark plugs out and it may have had camfazer issues too. Also, all generations of truck/cars have a few lemons.
My 97 4.6 4x4 with 325 k + running strong just drove 500 miles no issues
What have you changed around 188000 miles?I have got a late 1997 f250 it has a 4.6 looks like a f150 but single cab
I have owned my 98 for 18 years...and I'm about to watch it roll over the 300k mile mark
Very cool mods - thanks for the video Dan!
Got a 97 4.6 flare side, paid 500 bucks for it. Great truck, 290k miles but still going strong. Ive done some work to it of course but nothing major, drivetrain runs great.
I just got a 98 F150 (250K miles) for free. I just had to get rear tires and pay for the title transfer ($400 total). This will be my beater for now while I fix my Audi S4
I just bought a 2000 F150 in pretty good shape. The factory accessory packages installed included auto 4x4, skid plates, front hooks, trailer towing package, it came with eight spare tires, six of them already mounted on 7 lug rims, and a canopy. I got an incredible deal on it. It needs some work, but wow. This thing can drive through knee high snow like butter. And I live where two and three foot snowfall is possible. Sure it only gets at best 15-18mpg, but who cares! It’s a BEAST.
I have an '01 and that generation of body style-- there's no better looking F 150.
It has a 3" body lift and a suspension lift. I added 35" x 12.5'" tires to fill up the wheel wells which also improved the squirrely handling in the rain. It has a 3" rake downhilI. 17" bent spoke wheels get a few compliments on the street. An aluminum billet grill was added and I removed the 4 x 4 decals. My cigar holes pit the driver's seat but I don't care.
I own a 2003 F150 Black that is as good of shape as that one. Very solid Reliable truck. I absolutely love it.
I have a 99 F150XLT 4X4 with the 5.4L. It's an automatic, which I enjoy. I bought mine in 21 for 3K. It just needed the AC condenser replaced. Then one of the spark plugs popped out. Got that fixed at a shop.
I'm buying one today, 1998 f150 4x4 ... beautifully kept 2 owners! I'm so excited and I want to do some modding, but I have to be cheap lol
Got 2003 4.2 V6 body is a little beat from my brothers taking their anger out on it but it’s been in my family for 20 years it’s mine now and about to hit 170,000 miles still running strong!
I have the 10th generation Ford f150 King Ranch 2003. It has the 5.4 V8 Triton 2 valve. mechanics told me it was one of the best engines ford ever made. I put 370,000kms on it before it went and just replaced it with one that has 180,000 kms. I should get many more years out of this fantastic truck and great engine. In 2004 Ford re-designed the 5.4 and made it a 3 valve. mechanics say it is the worst engine ever made and pity the poor people who own one. I guess I got lucky. I'll end up retiring this truck in years ahead with 600,000 on it.
Very nice job. Looks really great. 👍👍👍
Good looking mods!
Just saw this on Facebook Market . CLEAN F150 .
yuuur voice is like super relaxing ❤❤❤😊
FINALLY, A good vid on making my ol POS look goooood
I have a 2003 ford f150 with the sport 4x4 and it drives good with 193,400 miles and runs perfect
Love the truck ❤😊 I need one of those ❤😊
Based off the lower valance and not seeing a 4x4 switch or stick, I am gonna say its' a 2wd which means its a 7.5 Fabtech lift. Only way to get one now is to buy one off of someone used. Good luck hunting everyone.
We need an update video on you. Last i knew you loaded up and moved east. Are you back in AZ? Do you still rent out the house you remodeled in Scotsdale? Have you done more remodels other than the wood fence?
You have to actually love the car seat. It shows that he's a well rounded man who takes care of business.
What sunroof is it ?
And how much was it?
workin on the 02 right now
I have a 03 fx4 and I think it’s one of the most desirable looking f150s. Well all but the bubble looking interior.
I’m restoring a 97 f150 and just did the led door and cab lights, door lights are not flush but that’s okay I need new panels. Nice truck!!
Beautiful
By far, my faverite body style pickup truck! 😊 My f150's on my channel. super mint lol
Nice car and your Awesome sale person Dan
I've got an 03 Flareside 4WD that's as clean as that but no lift kit, I don't care for lifted trucks, it makes them difficult to get in and out of and are useless to work out of but hey to each his own, mine has bucket seats and I upgraded to a full length center console out of an Expedition it bolts right in and looks all factory, the 2 valve 5.4L engine is one of Fords best if properly maintained, that's a beautiful truck and it's got probably at least $3000 in wheels and tires, you should buy it.
that lift kit is going to be a fabtech 7.5" 2wd lift. You can add a 2" coil spacer but ride will be somewhat rough. I had the same lift, had terrible bump steer because no one makes a 2wd drop pitman/idler arm. otherwise works decently with 37s.
10 generations man, those out beat the life of any other truck out there! shit I’ve seen some that go up to 400,000 pass. Sheesh!
Where did he find that grill. I’ve been searching for the same exact one.
I never would have known the bumper was mismatched in color until you pointed it out. Hey... Close enough!
What percent is the tint?
I got a 97 F-150 100,600 miles new spark plugs, new radiator, new upper intake manifold, new brakes. Runs strong as hellz
@@danrockwell1883 got it through a family member, $2000 buck and do some free power washing and lawn work.
Nice I got a 2002 v6
I have just acquired a 1997 wanting to update mine
The older I get, the more I think lifts, aftermarket wheels and oversize tires just look adolescent. But to each his own, I guess.
He did a 7.5 inch lift but I don’t know which one. But it rides great……
Just picked up a 1999 xl f150 same body as the one showed in video looking to do a lift n 35s but for a free truck it’s a steal it only has 136k miles n does better then is 2015 Chevy lol
You didn’t want the truck?is the truck still for sell
can you ask him where he got those wheels ?
Its got those neato's
She’s gorgeous
I have a 97 model, 3 door, four wheel drive
Love truck u look good ❤❤❤
What were the tires? im looking those with a set rims for mine I have an 02
I love the rtruck sorry I'm English so not sure what you call it it beats my Nisan Micra Dan sorry to trouble you you your CZcams but As an Architect I'm inteested in your property turn arounds and wonder if you'd be interested in doing some in England I thinke we could relly make a go of it Thanks take care David.
Only thing I see with ford is rear end problem that's what im dealing with now
Did he sell it? Im in peoria area and have a very clean jeep wrangler to trade. I cant find it on marketplace
I’ve got a 99 f150 with 250,000 miles tranny is a little sloppy but she runs strong
It’s looks just like mines it’s green my tire on 35s
I'll love for u to see my truck it looks just like mines😅😅
Was about to sell my 98 then watched this and now i dont want to ha
I have leather seats
Mines green
Lmao watched the whole video excited and then realized it's a 2 wheel drive 😂 fuck that useless 37" tires if you get your back ones stuck
Mines a 2000
I hate the 3rd small door on these trucks, if you’re not careful and slam it a lot it’ll get loose and start rattling when driving on the road. It’s the most annoying thing about these trucks is that stupid door😂😂😂
Then don't slam the door. I've and 2 and my 3rd door never got loose.
lift 🤢🤢
Hi Dan is you on insta?
Hello can someone recommend me any exhaust system that sounds nice I have a stock 99 f150 4.6 I want something not loud but that sounds subtle and badass at the same time
I pinned your comment so hopefully someone responds
Dual cats
Not too loud but mean
the 4.6 sounds amazing if you cut it off at the cat and straight pipe it, dont cut the cat, just after it. 👌there are vids on yt showing the sound you'd get.
