1989 Ford F250 LARIET review from North America
"This truck will pull virtually any trailer you can hook behind it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both power window motors failed.
Repeated problems with the idle air control.
Hard steering to the right.
Rear ABS hydraulic valve failed.
Power steering pump oil leaks.
General comments?
This is a very good work or farm truck.
The gas mileage is 9 to 10.5 at best.
For a 460 engine, this truck is very slow.
The replacment cost of the catalytic converter is over $400.00.
