2000 Ford F-150 Review Summary & Specs
Styleside Regular Cab Pickup
There are reasons why it's the best-selling vehicle in the world.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
There's not a lot of new stuff on the 2000 F-150, since it had a major facelift last year, and the body shell is already four years old. But Ford's F-150 is still the most car-like of any of the domestic full-size pickup trucks, with slick looks, pleasing performance, a nice, comfy cabin, and a proven powertrain that will get the job done for hundreds of thousands of truck buyers.
Street trucks aren't for everyone, but if you're looking for one, you may want to start looking right here, at the world's best-selling truck. For less than $24,000, you can haul whatever you need wherever you want in comfort and style.
