1979 Ford Courier XLT review from North America
"Terrible rotten lemon of a truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front end needed replacement.
Front fenders rusted out completely.
Radiator constantly needed to be roded out.
Rear main oil seal failed.
Threw a rod and I took truck to junkyard.
General comments?
Underpowered and not reliable.
Uncomfortable to ride in with no cab space whatsoever.
Truly a lemon and it ALWAYS had something wrong with it mechanically not to mention it was rusting out really bad in ARIZONA!!!
Metal on body so thin you could dent it with your thumb!!!
