1999 Ford F250 XLT review from North America
"There is nothing on the market in this class I would rather have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As purchased, the truck pulled to the right while driving even on the best roads. Marshall Ford's service people (where I bought the truck) said it's supposed to be that way. Hummmm...
At 6000 miles, the speed sensor in the rear end went bad, was replaced without problem under warranty Mac Haik Ford. Front end was also properly aligned and it drives straight as an arrow. Thumbs up to Mac Haik Ford! All under warranty.
No other issues to date.
General comments?
The most sturdy, well built truck I can imagine.
Diesel power and fuel mileage are second to none in this class of truck.
I work this truck hard, towing and hauling both for work and pleasure, no issues with either.
Comfy interior with excellent placement of controls for everything.
Air conditioner really handles the Houston heat especially for a crew cab.
