2008 Ford F150 XLT with XTR package review from North America
"Absolutely love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems whatsoever.
General comments?
Gorgeous truck! Love the way it feels, the way it rides, the power, the safe feeling, the visibility, the standard features and the way it looks. Lots of compliments here. I chose an '08 F-150 XLT / XTR package 4x4 SuperCrew in Bright Red, added a Weatherguard tool box and love every minute of driving it. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
And: To all of you old enough to remember the so-called "gas shortage" in the 70's and the gas scares of the 80's, it's happening again so now is the time to grab a great deal on less economical (but safer, more reliable & fun to drive) vehicle. I saved 14,000 bucks + taxes on my baby and gas dropped 33% within 2 months already!!! The price of cool trucks is going to rise again, it always does.
PS: I will NEVER go back to a Japanese car or truck again. Both Honda & Toyota have been nothing but headaches, not only the cars but the dealerships / service departments. Ford has treated me great and this, my second Ford truck, has been a joy to drive, neither has EVER let me down and the dealerships / service dept's have been excellent.
