1998 Ford F-150 Review

To fully appreciate all the interior features of the F-Series SuperCab you'll have to make a trip to your Ford

dealer, but we'll give you the high points. With the 40/60 split-bench front seat, driver and passenger have

individually reclining backrests. What can serve as the center backrest is also a folding armrest; when folded

forward, it provides a large cupholder and capacious bin. Inside this storage bin are places for coins, cassette

tapes and so forth, and a divider which, when removed, allows space for an 8 1/2 x 11 tablet. You could store

notebooks, calculators, small tissue boxes, even a cordless drill. Our test truck had captain's chairs, which are

more stylish, but the split bench front seat is definitely more versatile and offers six-passenger seating

The driver is faced with clearly legible instrumentation, and important controls are close and easy to operate.

There are a pair of cupholders in the instrument panel, and a goodly number of the expected storage compartments and

map pockets here and there

The view outward is superb, as the F-Series styling includes a low beltline and big windows all around. Even fairly

short drivers should have decent forward visibility. The only vision-related gripe we had was a vertically narrow

inside rear-view mirror, which cut down on the view to the rear

All SuperCabs include a third door on the passenger's side for entry to the back seat. This door is operable once the passenger's door is open, and can be opened from inside or out. Two adults should be reasonably comfortable on longer trips in the back seat. With the rear seat folded forward there's a flat, sturdy steel surface, great for carrying toolboxes or large amounts of luggage. Next Page
