Noob here, My name is Dave, I have recently (2wks ago) bought a 91 F150 XLT Lariat ext cab shortbox 4x4 for $150 from my sister-in-law...
  This is the 1st 4x4 I have ever owned, and besides the obvious, what are some things I need to be aware of in the handling department?
  By obvious, I mean top heavy and rides like a lumber wagon!!

Thanks in advance!!
Dave  

hey im a noob too as for handling my friend was taking corners at 70mph in a similar truck and he didnt roll it overhope this helps your question
Jacob  

Well, I'm not going to take any corners at 70!!
 Might take 'em at 65!!!!!! (jk)   Seriously tho, For a $150 pickup, she runs rather well for needing a tuneup, And I am anticipating the 1st time I take her mudding......
(No LEGAL places that I know of around here)
  I am going to be Legal Eagle on the trailing and mudding front!!!
