Default Any known problems? King Ranch 2008

I've never had a truck before, but fell in love for the F-150...

Have seen a F-150 King Ranch SuperCrew 2008 at the dealer's..

Very good condition, leather was very good, only a couple of thousand miles... Everything under the bonnet was clean, it looks like it came from the factory! The same with the interior... It has remote start . Like it was never used. All the booklets/manuals are still with the car.

I was driving it and it gave me a good feeling. The engine does sound very good, no hick-ups or something. The same for driving on the highway, you almost don't hear the engine running. The only thing I noticed was that the steering wheel was shaking on the highway (above 80mph).. Maybe it's only a balance-thingy, or is it a common problem or something bigger?

Are there any things I need to watch for?

08 is the best year to get, the plug issue was addressed, however i wouldn't let my plugs go over 50k before changing. nothing really to look for, if it checks out good and looks well cared for, and the price is right, snag it. king ranches are nice trucks overall, just luxurious for a pickup.

Sounds good. It has only 20.000miles, and the leather seems like new (thats a good sign a think)... It comes from Winter Haven, FL... Everything seems to be good, so maybe worth buying it! I never read big failures about the F-150 so thats a good point hehe..

I would just tell the salesman that they need to fix the problem. Most likey its a wheel out of balance or cupped
