Default Looking At Getting Another F-150 Need Some Advice Please

So I had a lifted 05 Singlecab that I liked until about 3mths ago. I wanted something with more room and better gas mileage. So i traded her in and got a 05 f-250 6.0 with 50000 miles. But 3 weeks ago it was stolen from a boat ramp while fishing a few hours from my house. UUGGHHH. So now im looking at getting a used 04-08 Supercrew from a ford dealership locally. They are all 5.4 motor which I think Ill like better than the 4.6. I just wanna keep it stock this time round. My question is will I be ok getting something with 60-70000 miles. Its really all I can find in my price range that has the features I want i.e 4x4 and 4 doors. I dont really know the lifespan of these motors but I do take car of what I get. Any input would help..

If u take care of the vehicle along with the previous owner it's a 300k mile vehicle with regular maintenance cost and maybe at some point a tranny. But a new/remanned tranny is cheaper than a new truck.

Defenetly and you can find good deals I found mine at a Honda dealer 07 fx4 80,000 miles for 14,800.00. Then I open up the matienence book and found the old lady who owned it b4 me wrote down all the oil changes dates and miles in the back of the book lol. Don't be in a rush and if ur not feeling it like you arnt to sure walk away! Don't let any sales man talk you into anything. You are just looking

I'm guessing you left your truck unlocked with the keys in the ignition... correct?
