1997 Ford F250 4x4 HD off-road review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front axle spindle bearings, front drive shaft (vibration), weird untraceable trans shift problem, drivers seat upholstery problems, ball joints, trim and fit problems.....and some rust starting at top of doors.
General comments?
I'm very disappointed - have owned 4 Fords in past with great luck - this is a lemon. Truck is not ANYTHING like their past models - fit and finish is below average - and this thing cost 28K....a true waste in my opinion.
