The Ford F150 Sport short bed truck is awesome. Prior to owning this vehicle I had only ever driven little foreign trucks and was highly biased towards them. For some reason, I had always viewed Ford as a generic brand. BUT! I needed a new truck with a little more hauling capacity, and the Ford F150 short bed Sport was my answer. I've never had so much fun in a truck. 5 Speed manual transmission made sliding around gravel road curves a thrill, while helping me out with gas mileage. The big tires helped me to be able to see very well, sitting slightly higher than in a regular vehicle. The paint color, though not my first choice, ended up being PERFECT for what it was. A champagne-y silver-ish metallic color that hid dirt from all my country cruising like the dust from a butterfly's wing. (Every speeding ticket I've gotten in 'ole girl' has had a different color written in the 'vehic color' line by the ticket issuing officer.) I am not known for being very easy on anything I own, in fact quite the opposite. This truck has consistently performed well at a high level of punishment, day in and day out. Always starts, has get-up-and-go, can haul an astonishing amount of weight for the vehicles size, and I always felt safe traveling long distances. (Ex. Indiana to Arizona and Tennessee to Florida multiple times) The ability to 'make it' in my truck has never been a concern.

I love my Ford truck! It's stylish on the exterior with the Style side option. It just looks really sharp. It's a cab and a half, so there's plenty of room inside versus a regular sized truck. We often take grandchildren out with us and the half cab is perfect! I have only had normal maintenance needed on it such as tune-ups, new brakes...That sort of thing. I feel very safe in it. Safety is my primary concern. I was in a bad accident and wanted something larger than my previous small car. I love driving it. It drives great whether I'm in town or on the freeway. The gas mileage could be better. But I feel like all the other great features make up for the cost of gas. It tows our travel trailer well too. We needed a good reliable tow vehicle and this truck is that and more. It's 4 wheel drive has been great in our hard Michigan winters too. It drives through snow like no other vehicle we have ever owned. I love my truck!

I got this truck a few months back. I paid cash with it and it ran great! It even came with a camper shell and one of those metal tool cases inside of it! It has pretty good suspension. The engine runs great most of the time. I think the model might come with an iffy starter because it recently started to give me trouble. But the gas mileage is pretty good for it being an oldish truck. Especially if you just use it to go around town for errands or whatever. Although the cab only really fits three people max it has strong heating and A/C. The headlights are nice and strong and since it's a truck you tend to get more vision in the rain and at night! All in all if you can get one of these for cheap you will have bought something that will do a good job!
