1997 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"Low build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering fluid seemed to disappear at 40,000.
General comments?
Engine is loud.
Suffers from a lot of rust although it is only 3 years old.
Bench seat is not supportive at all.
Overall low build quality.
