10 Garbage Ford Trucks (5 Absolute Beasts)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this old dog has seen more trucks than you've had hot dinners, and I'm here to tell you about Ford pickups. They're like that crazy uncle at Thanksgiving – sometimes a riot, sometimes you wanna hide the good silverware. I've looked at this list, and bless their hearts, they tried, but let's get to the nitty-gritty, shall we?
Here's the Real Scoop on Ford Trucks: 5 Times They Hit It Outta the Park, and 10 Times They Faceplanted Harder Than a Rookie Bull Rider
(Disclaimer: I love Ford, mostly. But even your favorite kid screws up sometimes, right?)
The "Oh-So-Shiny" Top 5 (The Ones That Didn't Make Me Spit My Coffee Out):
- 1993 Ford SVT Lightning (First Generation)
Finally. Ford depicted the pickup as a sporty vehicle rather than a typical brick-like form. The company made an accurate decision with this product. The vehicle equips a muscular design wrapped in truck bodywork that's like a tuxedo on a grizzly bear.
- 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor
The vehicle comes with all the characteristics of a traditional farm truck yet it performs like a thousand-mile Baja racer from the early days. The vehicle consumes bumps throughout the morning along with requesting an additional serving to follow. Pure, unadulterated off-road madness.
- 1978-1979 Ford F-250
The good ol' days. Trucks during that era were constructed like armored vehicles while men demonstrated their masculinity. Together with distinct paint options the "free-wheelin'" package added a nice touch to the truck model.
- 1965 Ford F-100
The styling of this truck and its Twin I-Beam suspension stand as the main characteristics. The truck had pleasing looks along with smooth driving experience at that time.
- 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid
Ford fully committed itself by developing a hybrid vehicle. This vehicle serves as a trailer hauler and provides towing capabilities and has likely been designed to operate homes in the case of power outages. The company is on target with this development.
The "Bless Their Hearts" Bottom 10 (The Ones Where Ford Clearly Had a Few Too Many at Lunch)
- 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage
Ford, what were you thinking? The Heritage model introduces the discontinued design as its primary version. Receiving socks is similar to what you experience when getting this product. Thanks, but... no thanks.
- 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
The Explorer model from Ford presented itself through appearances as though it belonged to the truck category. The transport vehicle lacked a complete-size bed which restricted cargo capacity for large objects. This vehicle combines nothing special from vehicles because it neither matches trucks nor SUVs.
- 1980-1986 Ford F-Series "FlareSide"
About those tiny beds... Ford really failed to use even a single extra inch of available steel. The minibus contained room only for a small-sized cooler and not enough storage for essentials.
- 1997 Ford F-150
The driver attempted to give the vehicle Taurus-like characteristics though it still retained its truck features. The shape of the truck follows round contours that resemble a warm marshmallow after it has melted. Gas trucks remain an unorthodox vehicle design choice for Ford Inc.
- 2000 Ford Ranger EV
The manufacturer built this electric truck as a pioneer in the era when electric trucks lacked both market desirability and practicality. Through nervousness the vehicle displayed the same range capacity as a hyperactive chihuahua. Their hearts deserve appreciation for their attempt.
- 2008 Ford F-150
Headaches. The car is solely good for its headache-inducing behavior and minimal other positive traits. The 5.4-liter V8 engine randomly discharged spark plugs similar to a child blowing seed pods from watermelon. Classy.
- Any Ford Truck With The 6.0-Liter Power Stroke Diesel
Every year during middle school felt like a disaster to me since each year was awful until the end of my education. All experienced auto mechanics refer to this situation as the "Power Joke." People often refer to Ford's power stroke engine entity as "Power Stroke Out" resulting from both money loss and nonstop repair needs. Extremely hazardous to use except in situations where being stuck is appealing to you.
- 1983-1988 Ford Ranger Diesel
A diesel engine smaller than my lawnmower's. Gutless, noisy, and about as reliable as a politician's promise.
- 2004-2008 Ford F-150 (5.4-liter Triton V8)
The issue required clarification so I included my point twice in my list. You will be paying for a costly ticking device when you purchase it. Since the experience needed two sets of instructions I added it to my list twice.
- 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin
Ford, what were you doing? Remember my Spork comment before? This vehicle shows the worst example of a poorly executed effort to become something meaningful.
So there you have it, kids. Ford's truck history: a rollercoaster of awesome, "meh," and "what in tarnation were they thinking?!" Just remember, even the best have their off days... and sometimes, those "off days" become legendary blunders. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go yell at some kids to get off my lawn. And maybe check the oil in my good truck.
