2000 Ford F-150 mileage: 71,000. The temperature gauge in my truck never seems to move much (it sits on the cold mark nearly always) no matter how much I drive. Even with the a/c on a hot day, it only moves up a fraction of an inch. Could it be my thermostat?

From what you have explained, you probably have a faulty temperature gauge or sending unit. If the thermostat was the culprit and stuck in the open position your car would register normal or above normal on your gauge when driven on a hot day for long distances.
