About 6 months ago I purchased a 1996 Ford F-150 Eddie Bauer edition from a friend. The truck is green with tan trim and has sideswipe damage on the passenger side. Let me tell you, I LOVE this truck! It has been one of my absolute favorite vehicles. Sure, it guzzles gasoline - but I live close to work and use the truck more for utility purposes. One con - all of your friends will expect you to help them move. As a musician, I find that I can always carry all of the gear that I need to get to the gig prepared.

Living in the country we needed a good, reliable truck to haul wood. One we could get in and out of the woods. We purchased our truck used four years ago and couldn't be happier with our choice. Even though the truck is older it has held up well over the years. The rear window is one solid piece, so there is no way to open it or encounter leaks. The interior has held up well with only a small crack in the dash on the passenger side. The radio works well as does the dash instruments, air conditioning and heat all work amazingly. The truck rides smoothly on paved roads and in the woods. There is some creaking in the frame when maneuvering in the woods but that comes from the age of the truck. All in all this truck has passed the test of time and has required little maintenance over the years.
