1998 Ford F150 XLT SuperCab review from North America
"Reliable, Versatile and Fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head Gasket blew at approx. 50,000 kms.;
covered under warranty.
Turn Signal / Wiper Control arm needed replacement at approx. 90,000 kms.
General comments?
This F150 is the first truck I have have ever owned and I have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle; does everything it is asked with very few problems. Only replaced one set of front brake pads; rear still original @ 125,000 kms!
Battery replaced after 7.5 years only as a precaution. This truck is 4WD and performs great under adverse conditions; it is a workhorse and great family vehicle at the same time!
