1998 Ford F150 XLT Extracab review from North America
"A fantastic truck.. when something isn't broken on it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Windows have needed lubrication on multiple occasions.
Rear Leaf Springs are worthless. They have broken (and been replaced by the dealer) twice... and now they are broken again. Fortunately my lease is almost up..
The Air Conditioning needs to be deodorized by the dealer every 10k miles or so.
Drivers side mirror rattles.
General comments?
The engine is tough on gas but the performance is excellent.
Surprisingly the brakes last a long time (I still have my factory pads on my rear wheels, front pads lasted about 35k miles)
