I am 15 and i just got my permit. My parents want me to have their FX4 F-150. It has 85,000 miles on it now and we have not driven it since Feb due to my parents getting new cars. I drove a little bit before and i can handle the truck well. It has a problem though. When we are about to park it will vibrate and if i dont rev it, it will cut off. Other than that, the truck has no problem. My parents didnt maintain and take care of it that well. I will take much care of it though. Im really stuck about taking it because of the mpg. I want to ask and talk about some things.
About the truck:
-85,000 mi.
-Big wheels (20 inch rims) and idk about tire size. probably 7 inches bigger than rims (idk but they are big but not monster truck big. ill get measurements later)
-2 tires were replaced in April of last year.
-New brake pads in May of last year.
Questions:
1)Refering to what I asked in the paragraph, what can be the problem?
2)Will it be cheap to maintain? (my parents will give me the money but im curious of the cost if i take it to Jiffy lube or something)
3) What upgrades should i do to it?
4) What changes should i make in the truck to get better MPG?
I need tips/advice/experiences thanks
