2003 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"How did I ever get along without one?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning condensate initially leaked into the passenger foot-well, but the problem somehow fixed itself.
General comments?
There is a little too much padding down the middle of the bucket seat backs. My body often wants to rock side to side instead of remaining straight. Otherwise, comfort is very good.
Driver position is very good: all controls are easily accessible, visibility is excellent and inspires confidence.
The suspension is a bit bouncy with an empty bed, but soaks up uneven pavement, potholes and the occasional curb without complaint.
General utility and hauling capacity is simply outstanding.
