2001 Ford F150 Lariet Supercrew review from North America
"Sometimes cheaper isn't always better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes failed at 26,000 miles. This resulted in a large bill which was not covered under the Ford warranty.
General comments?
Overall, I have enjoyed the way the Super crew drives and handles, as well as the interior room that it offers my family of four.
However, I have never owned a vehicle, including Ford, that the brakes have failed at 26,000 miles. The dealer told me that the brakes should be replaced every 18,000 - 20,000 miles with normal wear and tear.
If this is the case, it will be the last Ford truck that I ever own.
