2001 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"Gets you and your cargo anywhere without burning the fuel up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch master cylinder went out at 47000.
Has had a mysterious misfiring deal going on after sitting short trips on hot days. Took it up in the revs down the street and the problem cleared up. I now use seafoam every so often and it hasn't happened since.
General comments?
Excellent, but unpredictable gas mileage. I've managed slightly over 26 mpg on a 200+ mile trip unloaded, 24 with 2 motorcycles, and one time I burned about 18mpg unloaded. No complaints.
Nice truck with good visibility.
Pretty comfortable ride considering it's a truck.
I wish it had a tachometer and cruise control.
