This is very rugged vehicle. It has 102000 miles on it and the engine is very solid. I would not hesitate to drive it across country and back. The only issue I have had was I needed to replace the battery twice, and only replace one fuse. Nugget: I carpeted the back and put a bed in it to use for camping.
Story
I used it as a camper and really enjoyed it. I have used it in local campgrounds and only had to pay for a regular tent site since I used the van itself to sleep in.
Pros
I love the solid engine, and besides the battery it has never failed to start for me. Even in a very cold winter it never failed. I love all the room I have in the front. I have many storage space besides the glove box to keep paperwork and other such small items. The cargo space is amazing. I can easily haul many items including furniture such as a couch or even a full dinette set. The tires are also in excellent shape.
Cons
My only issue was I have had to buy a new battery on two different occasions. However my guess is that, this probably happened due to the fact that I have an inverter installed so the van can run 120 volts devices within the vehicle. My other negative thought on this vehicle is that it started to rust and spread extremely fast. I now do have holes in the cargo area even after attempting to repair the rust. There is also absolutely no power windows or locks. Everything is manual.

This Ford truck is an oldy but goody. No electronics on it, so it's easy to work on. It's got wonderful fake plastic seats that seem to hold up to the weather. It is from 1982 and has no cracks in it. We use this truck at a small farm. This truck hauls water and lumber with equal ease. It can go in the snow because of the weight of the truck. Easy to use and work on. Parts can be found just about anywhere for this truck. Because it is so easy to use, a lot of them used to be on the road. Easy to change the oil and transmission fluids yourself, so it saves money there for you too. Now that most vehicles are all electronic, it feels wonderful! Even my wife is able to drive it and work on it! Granted, she needs a step stool to get in it, but she can make it work! You should give this vehi... (more)
Story
I love big trucks! I just love to ride around in it and look down at the road!
Pros
The fact that it is dependable and so easy to work on. Very reliable vehicle.
Cons
It is quite large. If you are a woman, it can be difficult to get into the truck on your own.

This truck is a four door, 5.4L V-8, 3/4 ton pickup. What that means for me is that the four doors allows for plenty of space for my family and pets when traveling. While, the eight-cylinder engine provides adequate power for towing up to 10,000 lbs. This truck has been very dependable over the years. In all, it has over three hundred thousand miles on the original motor and transmission. The interior is a basic trim package but has held up well over time. It would have been nice to have automatic windows and door locks. The size of the truck makes it difficult for the driver to unlock a door when picking up a passenger or to roll down more than one window on a hot summer's day without getting out of the truck and going to the other side. Unfortunately, the sound quality of the speaker... (more)
Story
I camped in the back seat multiple times at a nearby national forest so I could spend more time in the woods.
Pros
Four doors and dependability
Cons
No power windows or locks.
