1998 Ford F150 XL Extended Cab review from North America
"Carry a spare motor!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ran fine until winter, and would not start unless the temperature was above 30 degrees.
Motor went at 137000, at a repair cost of 4000 dollars. Needed major bottom end work.
General comments?
Powerful enough, but not worth it.
