2001 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"No power, All problems!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything!!!
The computer went up at 1600 miles and still as not been right ever since. Oil leak at 2400 miles and took it to dealer and had to replace oil pan and gasket. This should not happen with a brand new truck. I was backing out of my driveway one morning, put the truck in drive and nothing. I got out of the truck and looked under it and found a huge puddle of transmission fluid. The dealer had to tow it and that cost me another 1800 dollars in repair.
General comments?
That is the worst truck I have ever owned. I had to tow a large fith-wheel and got more noise than power. I have recently got rid of it and bought a new Chevorlet Silverado. This truck can pull better than the ford and even pass them with my trailer outback. The chevy has more power and better looks then the ford ever had. I don't know why I bought the Ford, but I know I will never buy from them again.
