1997 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Great american power and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There has been a few safety and emission recalls recently
manual transmission linkage needs tune-up after 75,000miles.
General comments?
Very comfortable for a pickup truck, one of the best trucks comfort wise I've ever had!
Engine labors when towing up hills
extremely quiet engine
burns oil, even when it was 1 yr old!!
Freezing cold a/c!
Offers very good power and torque, not great on towing though.
