Tips on Buying a Used Truck

Lug

My family owns 5 F150 trucks with minimal problems ranging from 1997 to 2007. My br0-in-law owns a 1997 F150 with 400K on it and going strong. He has the desiel Dodge and it was in the shop 9 times in the first year and he lemon-lawed it. He had to fight with them to even get that. The biggest advantage to F150's is even when you do need maint, it's cheaper than almost anything else to work on. Chevy's are good nowadays as well and a really really good deal on a chevy might turn me away from a Ford. DO NOT buy a Ford Ranger (having engine in one replaced as we speak).

What engine does it have? The 3.0 Vulcan or the 4.0L Cologne? Both are rather unremarkable underpowered engines.

The 4.0. That single Ford vehicle has given me more headaches than all the Fords I've ever owned, combined (I've owned F150's, Expedition, Exploder, couple of Mustangs, even a Pinto!). It reminds me of my wife's 1995 camaro and THAT is a true insult!
