2002 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

My 2002 F150 is still on the road with 299,000 miles on it. It was bought from a guy in FL, so there is no rust on it. I live in OH and have it oiled underneath every year to protect it from salt damage. Great truck!!

Bought this truck ('02 F150 FX4) in 2022 with 160k miles on it. I did a complete top to bottom fluid change, replaced the spark plugs, coil packs and intake manifold. She runs grate now. Also cleaned up and modernized with a new raptor style grill, led head and tail lights and some other options. Replaced the old radio/cd changer with a 2 din that offers Google maps, sirius and a back up camera. All my clean up and mods were about $2,500 with me doing the labor. She now looks and runs great with a lot of the features of a newer truck at 1/5 the price and worth double what I paid for her.

My 02 Ford F-150 XLT 5.4 triton 4x4 is my current daily driver with 290k miles , it's a retired fish and wildlife game wardens police truck, reliable solid built pickup ,runs strong has it's quirks but all around great truck,spark plug blew out at 250k fixed myself with self tapping kit , still ticking along the 2 valve triton is good engine and last 300k with regular maintenance

I bought 2002 Ford F-150 Lariat 4X4 Super Duty Super Cab and it already has 260,000 miles on it and still runs like a horse! Great truck if you take care of it.

My dad bought my truck used in 2017. It had been a one owner by a young lady that used it to pull a horse trailer for the first 143,xxx miles of its life. He gave a used car dealer $3,900 for it with no overdrive. My dad drove it for 2 years and put almost 200,000 miles on it without a tune-up. When the 2 valve 5.4 triton was down to a crawl, he parked it on 3 cylinders. It sat for nine months, while the whole time I kept telling him I could tune it up and put it back in service. Needless to say he balked on the idea, so I finally saved the $1.200 he wanted for it, and bought it from him. I spent $200 on a brand new battery, and $250 for new motorcraft plugs and edelbrock performance coil on plug packs. And surprisingly the truck came back to life. I was able to get almost 9,000 miles out of it before I was hit head on by a 07 BMW a month ago. BUT, once I have the money or parts it will take to fix the front left wheel and steering assembly, it'll be back on the highway screaming again! It's the best truck I've ever owned much less driven in my entire life and I'm 31. Built Ford tough REALLY means what they say!

I bought this truck when I was still in college, as it was one of the few trucks that I could afford in cash ($6500). I have driven it for 5 years and 60k miles (currently at 208k miles) without any significant issues. Aside from regular oil changes, the only repairs I've had to do are: one bad coil and a short on the overdrive wire in the steering column. It has some creature comforts, like power seats and on-the-fly 4x4, but it's pretty utilitarian. However, with the addition of a 2-din touchscreen stereo and a backup camera, it's enough for me. Still has plenty of get-up-and-go. I've considered using it as a trade-in, but it's been so good to me, I'm not sure I will find a more reliable truck. Plus, considering its age, it still cleans up nicely and I don't feel too bad when it gets scratched up when offroading or having three rambunctious dogs in the back seat. My only complaints with the truck are the wheel lug pattern and the visibility. The 5-lug wheel pattern isn't as common as the 6-lug wheel pattern that every F150 after 2004 uses, so wheel options are limited. To make it worse, the particular wheels I'm running use the flat flanged lug nuts and not the more common tapered ones. As for visibility, the backup camera has been a worthwhile investment, but, for as long as it is, the side mirrors are a little small. In the process of buying some Expedition towing mirrors (Supercrew doors match the Expedition doors, not the F150 Regular and Supercab). I just moved to Northern Utah from Southern California, so I will get a chance to test it out in the snow in the upcoming months.

‘02 lariat super crew 4x4 5.4, currently has 219k+. My 4th Ford truck and all were great. My ‘02 has never stranded me, only wish it had better cup holders and better gas mileage. I plan on keeping it till I run it into the ground or someone wrecks it, whichever comes first.

The 3.5 is reliable, decent on gas, and plenty powerful. the seats are comfrotable and the ride is good for a 4x4. four wheel drive works great!

Has 350,000 miles on it and still powerful and reliable. Never any major repairs only regular maintenance definitely the best! I do love it when people look over at the truck when you crank it up in the parking lot. It gets stares when you're riding down the road as well. Definitely recommend this truck!

I love the truck, but on the extended cab doors keep breaking. I have taken into ford to have repaired but then the break again. This truck is like my baby and I take great care of it!
