1991 Ford F350 Custom cab review from North America
"Tough as an ox, fun to drive."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the vehicle. It is in very good condition, and very reliable. The owner before me had rewired things such as the rear tail-lights, so I am having to redo his wiring. Other than that, the truck is in tip-top running condition.
General comments?
The truck is a long-wheel-base, and a dually. The entire length of it is just under 20', and the dual rear wheels make for a wide stance. Despite the dimensions, the truck handles very well. I had driven a 4 door Mercedes before this, and the only thing I notice differently is the turning radius. You have to back it up to clear stuff in front of you. As for general maneuverability, I was surprised as to how nimble it really is.
I gave the truck a 5 for comfort, that is because it has a vinyl bench seat, which is not uncomfortorable, but does make for a sweaty back no matter how cold the interior is.
I gave the running cost a 7 because I am getting surprisingly good fuel mileage from the truck. The rear end is geared 4.10, and has a 5 speed manual transmission. Currently I get about 23 miles per gallon. I can get 25 miles per gallon if I shift at a lower rpm, and keep my foot out of the floor.
