2002 Ford F350 Laritat review from North America
"Good truck, if you want to spend a lot of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Around 20,000 miles; everything went wrong. First, the power seats started to act sluggish when moving. The in-dash 6 disc CD player would "eat" and scratch your discs.
At 28,000 miles the whole engine needed to be replaced. It needed a new brake system, a new transmission, and a new engine. The brakes were not adequite for the large size of the crew cab (4 door) long bed. Espeially when pulling a horse trailer.
General comments?
It was a comfortable riding truck, but very loud and noisy.
It took forever to heat up so that the heater would be nice and warm.
The heated seats got really hot and sometimes wouldn't turn off.
