1997 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Low maintenance and super reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission solenoid and valve needed replacement.
Starter.
Other than that only tuneups and brakes which is normal for any car.
General comments?
Excellent quality. 100% reliable and still riding like new at high mileage.
Somewhat thirsty on gas, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 5000 pound vehicle.
Super comfortable captains chairs (optional). Interior great quality.
Plenty of power from a small V8.
