Love the 10th Generation... I’m the proud owner of a 2003 SVT Lightning ⚡️

I'm in the market for a work truck and I'm eyeing at this generation of F150s... I really love how simple the truck is, both mechanically and the design. It's just difficult to find one that isn't completely rusted out here in the midwest.

I had a 97 4.2 V6 long bed. Loved it. Worked so hard and you could drive it 18 hours and still feel fresh at the end of the journey. Best truck ever built. I'd love to find another one.

Just dropped a new engine in my 2002...a timing chain tensioner failed at 395,000 miles. I wasn't mad. Original transmission still going strong.

I own a 2002 f150 crew cab 4 dr and it is great.. On that evap code youre getting heres a simple trick to know on those. With the key on check the 2 prong plug that goes to the purge vavlve under the hood and with a test light one of the wires should light it up, then go to the rear of the truck where the vent solenoid is at that vapor canister and there is another two prong plug that plugs into it and do the same check, nd if one of them isnt getting a connection check your fuses. On the 97 to 03 those are the only two things that can cause an evap code, because even if the purge valve is ss stuck colsed or open they will run a rich code or lean code only and if the hoses are cracked on those that doesnt even throw a code. One of those plugs isnt getting current, other than that change your gas cap. Heres something that makes me laugh about that joke system and that is if the purge valve is stuck closed under the hood and even if the canister is stopped up as long as those two plugs have current they wont throw a code and if the gas caps are abole to suck in air the ECM doesnt even know . Now if a purge valve under the hood is stuck open that will cause a lean code and only requires changing the purge valv. My purge valve is stuck closed plus my vapor canister is stopped up but bother my plugs are getting current and the gas cap provides enough suction that the tank never builds up vacuum, plus it throws no code or causes any engine light. My engine runs better with the purge valve stuck closed because when they open and close ot causes engine surge and they arent necessary at all, and the ECM only reads if those two pplugs are getting currente

2001 F150 supercab 2wd with the 4.2 Liter V6. Most reliable truck I've ever owned. Paid $2,400 for it and it's made me 10's of thousands in the 5 years I've owned it. Still going strong with 260k + miles on stock motor and transmission haha.

I have a 2003 F150 5.4 2 valve. Mine has 412,000 miles original powertrain and runs perfectly. It has alot of original parts. As a matter of a fact ive had it since 322,000 and the only thing ive replaced is a heater hose. The alternator was replaced at some point. Extremely reliable, i replaced the plugs and coils at 398,000.

I got a coworker that is giving me her 97 2WD automatic extended cab. Has same shifter problem, new but dead battery, soft brakes, and a busted passenger mirror. She did say it has new tires though on top of the battery. She is an older lady that doesnt have time to fix the problems, dont want the hassle of selling and just dont use the truck so anymore so when she was talking to me about haveing it tiwed off to scrap i offered to take it off her hands even without knowing what motor it has. Ill find out next weekend exacly what engine and whats all wromg with it.

Nice truck just got a 97 4x4 XLT myself. Replaced all the wear parts. First truck and I'm starting to love it more than my newer cars! New trucks are such princesses.

i have a 99 short bed regular cab 4x4 with 5.4l. it has almost 250k miles and i take it to windrock in east tennessee and it goes everywhere i wanna go, mud, water, rocks, snow and ice. it's no custom built crawler but i have yet to get stuck or break. this thing is a bad machine and i love it. oh yeah i got it for $3500 too lol and it's stock suspension with the t bars cranked and 35s

Best truck ever made. Love my 10th gen. Still going 21 years later. Starts no problem every winter.

I have a 2000 XLT ,5 Speed Manual , 4.6 Short bed with 198,000 miles .Two inch lift in the front . Frickin love this truck!!! . I've been a tile contractor for 34 years . 21 years with this truck . I took a load to the dump and it weighed out at 1900 lbs. . When i went over the speed bump at the scales , my front tires came off the ground . Loaded the shit out of it 100s of times . On my second clutch , just changed the intake manifold gasket, plugs and coil packs . The heater stopped working about a year ago(blows enough heat to keep my feet warm in the winter), the odometer lights up when it wants to, the engine burns a quart of oil a month ,getting 12-13 mpg in the city, 18-20 mpg highway. Getting ready to do the parking brake pads , new rear rotors and pads. And the brake light stays on . Oh ya , the rear window leaks around the third tail light . Nothing a little gorilla tape cant fix . Gonna keep her alive as long as I can . Enjoyed the Video

A couple months ago I got a 99 f150 4x4 xlt w/ the 5.4l for 2400 bucks. Just had to do alignment and change the starter. Badass truck, happy I own it. She has 435k miles and running strong. Has a rebuilt engine and pretty clean for her age. Got extra parts for her to install later down the road when I have down time.

I have a 2002 black super cab XLT with the 4.6. Best truck I've owned in my lifetime in construction. So enjoyed this video.

I bought a 2002 F150 Supercrew. 2x I call it my super truck. I’ve had 2 years still going strong. 4.6 automatic

These are solid work trucks... My 2000 has been to Hell and back more times than I can count. 370K miles and it'll still haul 30 packs of roofing shingles like a champ and every so often it'll surprise me and chirp the tires lol

Hahaha... I was JUST telling a couple friends that my 97 is probably more dependable than any $30,000 truck out there today so I know exactly what you're saying and you still see these EVERYWHERE BECAUSE of their reliability!!!

Just got one last week. 2001 crew cab it's a 2wd but it's lifted with 33s, clean interior never used for construction it seems. Clean interior with 210k miles 4.6 I paid 3k for it. Came with a camper shell too and a roof rack it's a badass truck and it drives really nice and spacious. I like new trucks but I basically got me something nice for half the price of a down payment for a new one!

I recently bought a 2000 F150 XLT with the 4.6 V8 for my very first truck. I've always liked how the 10th gen looks actually so I'm happy to finally own one. Unfortunately mine does have leaking pinion and wheel seals so that's a project I hope to tackle one day, but other than that it seems solid mechanically. Has just under 200k miles so I'm hoping there's plenty of life left in it.

I love my 1st Gen Expedition. Sad there isn’t much content on it on KZfaq. But these 10th gens are awesome.
