2001 Ford F150 XL SC LWB review from North America
"The best truck I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
The 4.2L V-6 has all the old bugs gone. The power of this engine is awesome for a V-6.
The transmission (4R70W) is smooth, but has positive shift points. One of the best rated transmissions around.
3.55 gear differential gives good takeoff and highway performance.
