1995 Ford Ford truck problems
The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 1948 model year. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup. Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Series also includes the Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Class 6–8 commercial trucks.
History
The F-Series was first introduced in 1948 as a replacement for a previous pickup model line based on car platforms.
The most popular version of the model line is the F-150 pickup truck, currently in its fourteenth generation (introduced for the 2021 model year). From 1953 to 1983, the entry-level F-Series pickup was the 1⁄2 ton F-100. Starting in 1984, the F-150 became the entry-level. The F-150 has a long-running high-performance off-road trim level introduced for 2010, the (SVT) Raptor currently consisting of three generations. Production of the F-150 SVT Raptor ended in 2014 and it was planned to be succeeded by a new F-150 Raptor, which is based on the thirteenth and fourteenth generation F-150.
The F-Series trucks have been developed into a wide range of design configurations. Alongside medium-duty trucks and "Big Job" conventional trucks (the forerunners of the Ford L-series), the model line has been marketed as a chassis-cab truck and a panel van (a predecessor of the Ford E-Series). The F-Series has served as the platform for various full-sized Ford SUVs, including the Ford Bronco, Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Excursion. The F-Series has been marketed by its three North American brands: by Mercury as the M-Series (in Canada from 1948 to 1968), and by Lincoln in the 2000s, as the Blackwood and the later Mark LT (2010s for the latter in Mexico only).
Since 1977, the F-Series has remained the best-selling pickup truck line in the United States; it has been the best-selling vehicle overall since 1981. The F-Series has been the best-selling truck in Canada for over fifty years. As of the 2018 model year, the F-Series generated $41 billion (~$49 billion in 2023) in annual revenue for Ford. By January 2022, the F-Series models have sold over 40 million units. Currently, Ford manufactures the F-Series in four facilities in the United States.

COACHMAN DECIDED TO DO THIS, BECAUSE THEY ADDED A "CHEATER AXLE" TO COMPENSATE FOR THE EXTRA WEIGHT. BECAUSE THE MOTORHOME HAD REMAINED UNSOLD ON THE LOT FOR SOME TIME, THE SALESMAN WAS ASKED WHY. HE REPLIED, "I GUESS YOU'RE JUST LUCKY." ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES GAVE WAY FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY AGAIN WENT OUT ON 7/18/97 @ A MILAGE OF 5111; 9/10/97 @ 5476; 9/27/97 @ 6177; 6/16/98 @ 7480; 6/30/98 @ 7506; AND THREE MORE TIMES AFTER 9/29/98, AFTER A LETTER HAD BEEN SENT BY A LAWYER TO FORD AND COACHMAN.

TWO OF THE TIMES, THE MOTORHOME WAS IN NEAR COLLISION, ONLY AVOIDED BY THE OTHER DRIVER'S GOOD BRAKES AND JUDGEMENT. YET THEY STILL SAY THE BRAKES ARE GOOD AND ESSENTIALLY "TRUST US."
