Just bought a '99 F150 V6 93K in excellent shape.
Anyone here know how reliable these are?
Gas Mileage?
Tow rating (has no hitch)?
I purposely wanted the V6 for my son who is turning 16.
Please don't be too hard on me.:confused:

I had a 99 long bed 2wd with the same engine. It was my company truck for 2 years. I wanna say it got around 18-19 mpg around town. Probably a good engine for a 16 year old, it's not any kind of powerhouse!

I've got a 2000 v6 right now. I'm getting around 13-14 mpg running 35's. If yours is stock you should get about 400 miles to a fill up. It's a 22 gallon tank.
I'm really impressed with the power it has. As far as towing.... I usually tow the boat round trip 6 miles to the ramp and back. The boat is a 22 ft. I've also towed a 19ft toy hauler. It does fine.
