The 2002 Ford F-150 for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Ford F-150 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2002 Ford F-150, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the F-150

Owners filed 821 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, electrical system and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

It runs the 4.2L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The combined figure, 13.8 L/100 km, means roughly 41 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $64.17 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Inside and out

As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.

Try before you buy

A week with the F-150 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
