1997 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Can't beat the value or reliability!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuse for trailer lights melted into fuse panel at 135,000.
Gas tank straps rusted at 150,000 miles.
General comments?
More than adequate power and rides very nicely.
Very reliable for a 150,000 mile truck. I plan to drive this truck for many more years.
I have four young children and I can haul my wife and children comfortably. Very comfortable and has a roomy back seat for a truck.
