1997 Ford F150 XLT SuperCab review from North America
"Quality performance and handling for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wind sound from the driver's side window.
Door ajar light stays on for extended periods even after the doors have been checked and are completely shut.
General comments?
Very smooth on the highway.
Unique handling around corners and curves for a large truck.
The 4.6L engine is dynamic for a truck weighing in at 4034 lbs.
Good gas mileage for a large truck - as high as 20 mpg on the highway.
Very low maintenance.
The third door is nice but I wish I had waited for the fourth door for easier access all the way around.
