2001 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"I LOVE it and will see if I can't go a million miles with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the original ignition coil at 90,000 miles.
Replaced the original rear brakes and all 4 original tires at 98,000 miles.
Replaced side view mirror control, engine gasket and o rings at 122,000 miles.
Replaced original battery and alternator at 138,000 miles.
General comments?
The front seats are firm and comfortable.
Rear seats have adequate leg room.
Two different RBS iPod FM tranmit systems do not link with the Ford AM/FM CD radio display. I can listen to the music, but have to refer to the iPod for title playing.
This truck has adequate, but not over whelming acceleration, and experiences some hesitation between 3rd and 4th gears.
