2000 Ford F250 LXT review from North America
"Looks are deceiving!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the transmission at 1,083 miles.
Broke front leaf springs at 9,528 miles.
Broke bell-housing at 11,327 miles.
Had the front hubs replaced twice.
General comments?
Even though these trucks look nice, they are not for the working man. If you want a truck that will perform under work type situations, do not buy a Ford. Luckily my warranty covered all of these repairs. But it was a pain not having a truck to drive to work. After owning my '95 1/2 ton Chevy, I will stick to the bow tie for the rest of my life. One word of advice, do not buy a Ford.
