You mean some people actually use their 150's for work? When did that happen? Amazing...

I am looking for an FX4..but i am weary about buy one with over 100K...will these engines last a while?
I have a 2004 with 170*** miles and mine it has had a few things replaced (mainly because i was a dumb 20 y/o that beat the hell out of his truck) but the one thing that has never failed is the engine. i have the spark plugs repaced every year or so. everything else would be expected like the wheel bearings, P/s pump and transmition (also both my own dumb-*** fault). If you do buy it, treat it well and it will return the favor.

and carfax doesnt show everything, but that one shows enough where i would steer clear of it.
In some states trucks are registered as commercial vehicles. I had commercial plates on my Ranger and S10's. I dont know why though, I didnt need them. I have passenger car plates on my F150.

When my brother traded in his S10 on a Ram 2500 he had to get commercial plates due to the weight of the truck even though its a personal vehicle.

Anyway, the price on this truck is high for the age and mileage.
