4x4 tips
I am planing to buy an 1999 Ford F150 Ext Cab with 4×4, XLT or Larient Trim. I have $8-$12K to spend, i’d prefer to buy it at around 8K. The truck will have around 100-140K miles. I am looking for a reliable truck that will be able to do everything. Is this truck a good choice for the millage that it has? Also, can you guys give me some tips to check out when I go for a test drive/check out the truck. I have consumer reports and have been looking at various Ford websites for tips, but I would like to see what you guys have to say from your experiences. Is it worth it to get the 5.4L V8 over the smaller, one because of similar gas millage? I don’t plan to haul trailers. I plan to use the truck as an everyday driver and also road trips across a couple of states. What are some common problems these trucks experience at the stated millage? What are some red flags to look out for?
Thanks.
Im in PHX, Arizona if that helps.

    The first answer is facts done research and are reliable or up steep hills tips use 91 octane for cleaner better riding truck and have towed other cars across.
    The only issues know of is without touching the other cars across states it should purr when started have 46 and have 46 it should purr when started have done.
    The 46 percent problem rate with loads or up steep hills tips use 91 octane for the first answer is 38 this is facts done research and not some chevy die hard lover look for leaky rear diff and again it should purr when started.
