Consumer Description

THE FRAMES ON THESE VEHICLES ARE PURE JUNK, THEY BREAK USUALLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE OR AT IT, MINE IS BROKE JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE OF THE REAR PART OF THE FRAME. IF YOU GO SEARCHING FOR A FRAME, AS I HAVE, YOU WILL FIND ALMOST ALL OF THESE VEHICLES IN DESCRIPTION WILL SAY THE FRAME IS SHOT WHICH IS THE CASE OF MOST FORDS IT SEEMS ANYMORE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD TRUCK IF NOT FOR THE FRAMES RUSTING DOWN AND POSSIBLY CAUSING SOMEONE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND LOSE THEIR LIFE OVER THIS IF THEY DON'T KEEP CHECK ON THESE TUCKS. THIS TRUCK WAS AN EVERY DAY WORK VEHICLE AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO PARK IT AND FIND ANOTHER ONE BEFORE THE CHAOS STARTED WITH IT.
