Default '96 F150--how's the longevity?

I'm looking at a '96 F150 with a 5.8L V8, XLT, 4x4.

It's in terrific shape, less than 60k miles.

Any gremlins I should look out for?

What's the longevity of these models, assuming they're well taken care of?

Thanks!

I have a 1996 F150 5.8 4x4 with 165,000+ miles on her. She's still running strong. If it has cruise control, there was a recall on the sensor unit on the master cylinder. They would sometimes cause a fire.

Have any pics of the prospective ride?

It's on auction. Great price now, but who knows what it'll go to. Sure looks nice though.

Its a ford it will last a very long time. That is about the cleanest 96 I seen in a while. besides look at the price and bids and. I am sure its around a $9000 truck.

Nice looking truck, very clean, but by the time it sells I would bet it would go for more the 9K. But its a Ford need there be anything else said.
