1999 Ford F150 XLT Quad Cab review from North America
"Good bang for the buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just had inner tie rod break at 66,000.
Ball joints do show wear and will need replacement soon.
This truck is plowed with; the extra weight on the front may have triggered the front end parts to loosen up.
Not a bad plow vehicle for people looking to plow with a luxurious, comfortable vehicle.
General comments?
I love having the four doors and 5 seats; plenty of room for friends, family or even cargo you do not want exposed in the bed.
4.6 V8 with 5spd is plenty powerful enough for the driving I do and also plowing.
Very impressed with the "car like" ride, reliablity and style of this truck.
Much better than my Chevy 1500 350V8 which I also plowed with.
Ford all the way!
