2008 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"Great looking full size truck!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
Comfortable, good ride.
Put a towing hitch on it (Hidden Hitch) It pulls nicely.
Had 2 ATVs on it and it does quite well. I do appreciate the factory installed wiring harness for trailer lights.
Changed stock AM/FM radio for a JVC CD player, sounds great.
Truck has a high stance to it, I like the way it sits. 17" wheels are great (standard equip)
Ford has the computer set in these trucks to run lean at an idle. They say it's for less emissions and they will not change it. Sometimes feels like it's running just a little rough at a red light.
The windows are a little thinner in this model and the metal seems a little "light" on it. Road noise is a little bothersome sometimes, but it is a base model, I realize that.
Overall I love this truck. I am averaging around 18MPG between city and highway driving.
