1997 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Get up and go pickup"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Runs rough at idle sometimes.
Only gets 17 mpg.
Poor traction on wet road mostly because it is 2wd and standard cab/ short bed.
General comments?
Very quick for a 4400 lbs truck.
Brakes lasted 60000 miles.
Very comfortable to ride in.
