2003 Ford F150 SuperCrew XLT review from North America
"Great car like truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer put wrong differential fluid in and the rear end started making noise right off the bat, but was covered under the warranty and is fine now. Other than the rear end so far the fuse for the O/D and power locks has blown and the CD player hardly works anymore.
General comments?
The truck runs and drives like a car, very smooth, quiet and has decent power with the 4.6L. The motor is not quite powerful enough to tow with, but is perfect for little loads and get decently gas mileage (about 18 MPG). I installed a Magnaflow exhaust and that seemed to help the power and the gas mileage a little bit. Also installed drop shackles in the rear to level out that high rear-end that Ford is known for.
