1998 Ford F-150 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

All around great truck, however it was in a sort of leap year for lug patterns, and it is hard to find any rims with the 5 on 135 pattern. However the 5.4 well makes up for this in power and torque. The overhead cam and bullet proof block make it a power house for this little body. However the Mass air flow sensor is crap. Pure crap.

Its got great handling and braking. The acceleration is great for a 4.6l v8. i wish it was a 5.4 but what can you do. I did have to do a few repairs on it over the past few years. The sway bar endlinks did rust through and have to be replaced for like $20. The rear diff got water in it and need to have the fluid changed (dont forget friction modifier!), which was due to pilot error ( don't submerge the back half of your truck in water to pull out a boat...) and brake torque burnouts do put enough to stress on your car to eventually break your u-joints. I have had a problem with a squeak in the suspension in the front passanger side. Inside of the car looks great with the 50th aniversary leather seats. Outside is a bit scratched up from hunting, but looks good after a wax, especially the 4x4 emblems on the sides. Although it costs a pretty penny to drive, with 10 - 12 mpg but if you need a truck, its a good one. Its tons of fun to drive, on and off-road. handles great in the mud if you got 4x4.

I loved this truck. Plenty of power from the big V8. Four wheel drive worked very well and it was comfortable to drive. I added a LineX spray in bed liner and later added a matching canopy. The only problems I had were with the spark plugs and Ford's individual ignition coils. Get them wet, and they are fried!

after owning a 2wd for over a year... this thing is great! it runs like a champ... extremely clean interior. 4WD works great. overall im very pleased with it and i would definately recomend this truck to anybody looking for something new!

I love my '98 150, it has a 2007 4.9L V8 and a flow master exhaust. She has some speed and has never let me down. Fun fun truck to drive! Gets pretty good MPG for a good sized truck.

fast for its kind, well built....it is a ford of course. It accelerates pretty quick, and it gets damn good gas mileage. It also sounds really good for a six cylinder, sounds like a small block v8, no engine problems yet.

Performance is ok, has a 4.6 Triton with a 5 Speed over- drive transmission. built really well, dosnt need any body work. it has a gray interior and white exterior, plus it has 20" chrome wheels. gas mileage is surprisingly well for a V8 truck. It is awesome to drive for me because i just got my license 6 months ago and i love manuel transmissions.

It's pretty sporty for a 4x4 pickup. It has a lot of spunk and quick reaction time. I wouldn't recommend it in quick turning situations at high speed though, it's heavy in the front and light in the back so it's handling is not so good. However, it is EXCELLENT in the snow and in 4-wheeling expeditions! It's got good clearance and it runs great all the time as long as it has working spark plugs and wires :P It doesn't leak oil on the driveway even after 170,000+ miles! It starts up smoothly as well. I've never had to worry about it much as long as I keep in maintained well enough.

The appearance is amazing. I have added several after market parts to make it a bit more fun. The truck has a freak'n lot of power but is slowed down by its 5000 pounds of weight. It has a new audio system with a base link. Infinity base link and speakers. It has an Alpine deck. Billet grills and ac knobs. I put 33 inch pro comps on it. The engine has a gibson exhaust, air aid throttle body spacer, k&n intake, and superchips programmer. It can beat a stock Acura RSX off the line even with the 33's.

I've owned my truck for 3 years and have had nothing but good times and plenty of compliments with no major repair problems.

Outstanding truck. Lasts forever tons of fun to drive. A little slow at the top end but a tune up is all that's necessary. Fair price for plates. Awesome 4x4 for tons of fun when the road is too boring

great truck overall it only has the 4.2L V6 with the manual transmission it was my brothers frist truck and had a 7 inch lift sitting on 35 i think and has a 40 series flowmaster muffler with a power aid trottlebody spacer and a airaid intake system the rear axle is regeared to a 3.73.8 ratio give me a little accel.(its a 2wd) to me this is blast to drive im a ford tech so cost to maintain is cheap

Its got a 351 Windsor in it now so its pretty much fast as balls. Nothing has fallen apart yet so build quality is pretty good. The truck is way fun to drive on road and offroad even without 4wd.

Good truck but hated the small bed and small cab.

Had this truck the same time as the Thunderbird and this is what I took from the divorce. It was great in the snow, but only had a V6 engine, so not much power however plenty to get the job done. It drank gas which is why I replaced it.

this truck was given to me by my dad as an everyday truck for high school. It gets alright highway mileage but it doesn't have enough power to get up larger hills. the torque is good and it is a fairly light truck to bomb around in.

I have put 2 power enhancements on. Flowmaster exhaust and K&N cold air intake on. Headers will be next. no repairs needed to date not even a check engine light. Interior is a little plain but its a truck. It handles pretty well for a truck. Mileage is bout 16-18. maintenance is easy. Its fun to drive and has plenty of power.

Excellent choice for those who want an overall good truck. Lotsa strenght and space for cargo.

Well this is the simplest vehicle i own. no blind spots comfortable for two and so versatile that it can be used for anything at all ( except Dinner with the wife ). Needs to be upgraded though to a more creature comfort version like the SVT.

I have 318,000 miles what else can be said ? I just now need to put a transmission in it. Paint is still very good I think this is the only year that they put 3 doors in them I wish it had 4

My husband's truck - it's a great for what we need it for. Has a few things I would trade for other makes/models but overall it's a truck that has a good sized cabin and bed! Oh, and the V8 doesn't hurt to have either, although we miss having a 4x4.

Description didnt due it justice. As good looking as it is powerful and purposeful. Smooth ride.

Nice car and price.Good shape and condition. Has AC. Low miles.

Great handling and visual appeal. Plenty of power, but the mileage is subpar and the seating is very limited. Overall, it is an excellent vehicle for a single person or a couple, but with children, it would be mostly a secondary vehicle.

Poor gas mileage and lacking in power of newer models. My 5.4L has performance below current 4.6L with gas mileage worse than current 5.4L. Bad squeak in front end. Chinsy interior but good seats, no reason why it doesn't have the fourth door.

4.6L engine sucked - no power and crappy mileage. Good looking truck though

love the truck hate to work on it but over all great truck

like how it shifts and the smooth ride acceleration is pretty good braking is great handling is ok on wet roads it has a squeak which i think is the u joint the interior is worn and has a dent in the door gets great mileage and low maintnence

this is a decent truck and it gets good gas mileage. The truck has good power for only being a v6. I can't wait to see what the next vehicle is that I get to drive. I am happy with my truck though.

Performance is good, gas mileage is not bad for a truck the looks are ok for a truck interior room is not alot of it,build quality is good for it bing Ford the motoe is still strong and runs good for it age.

It's a truck, pulls good on the flat, drives like a truck, accelerates like a truck, stops like a truck, looks ok, cheap interior but it works. If you keep your foot off of the floor boards it actually gets decent gas milage. nuff said.

the monument to flowmaster from the engine to the tail pipes, loud and fasts just what every middle aged man needs. the start of the second childhood...what next maybe a transam or 68 chevelle..or 72 camero..time will tell but for now its a good start
