2001 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Very Satisfied! Would definetely buy again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes needed to be replaced at 36,000 miles, but that is usually standard for most vehicles.
General comments?
Absolutely nothing, I love it. It is so reliable and tough. Built ford tough, metal frame, solid, no nonsense get out of my way truck. It goes great rides over rough terrain like a pro, rides great in the dirt, a little rough feeling on regular roads, but that's because it's a truck. To alleviate this check your tire pressure. At 46,000 miles have not even worn out the factory tires! Blew a whole in one and patched it and it is still kicking on the highway in speeds of up to 80 mph. Nothing has ever given me problems, front brakes replaced at 36,000 miles, it was about time. Starts great, a little difficult in the rain, you have to remember your driving a truck and watch out for puddles so you don't skid. Skidded once, but anti lock brakes kicked in right away, you can hear them coming to your rescue, skid disks immediately go into effect and quickly brings vehicle under control. Get an extended warranty for your peace of mind, but you can drive this truck until it dies! Which ever one comes first you or it!
