1997 Ford F150 review from North America
"Ford tough!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer and I split cost on lower ball joints, shouldn't have passed Mo. vehicle inspection.
Transmission rough 3-OD and back, shift points out of whack. Did research before I bought it, found out it is common and to do a full tranny flush and filter. Got truck $1800 under book I think because they thought tranny was bad. $175 later and it runs like new.
Sticking interior light switch, spraying it out in the morning.
Love this truck!!!
