2003 Ford F350 XLT review from North America
"A powerful truck with reasonable fuel efficiency"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel gage reports incorrect fuel level. When tank is full, gage reports that tank is empty. After traveling between 90 and 250 miles, gage reports that tank is full. Dealership has ordered new sensor and indicated that repair will be covered by warranty.
General comments?
Truck has comfortable seats and a most roomy cab (for a regular cab). Truck seems to drive itself; easy steering and much power on hills and in head wind. The diesel is getting between 18 and 19.6 mpg (unloaded) and to date has performed well. The only problem is the noise (much clicking) but that might be due to variation in fuel quality (have primarily been using No. 1 or D2 soy diesel).
