Look through the grill. If you do, there will be 2 smaller coolers attached to it on the front. If you have 1, you don't.

current Van did the job perfectly but I can get a lot more usage out of a truck for things I do around the house and what not.My fingers crossed on today's viewing of this one. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Btw guys with a chevy van I needed some load self leveling shocks in the rear for it to not bottom out with a 3500lb trailer and a tongue of about 300lbs. Do I need the same here with the truck?

Thanks guys... Chevy has been a trip and I guess doing my research I've heard very good about ford but also hear bad about it too. It's a 4.6 so I'm guessing less troubles then 5.4L?
Yes a lot of pictures, the PO is real nice to send them without me even taking a look at it but I will today.
Anything really I should be looking for? And how do I figure out if it's broken or not. I'm guessing joints and stuff is the same as on chevy, to much play here or here or rubbers gone it needs replacement. Anything else I should see and keep eye out for? I'm being told it had very good maintenance done and just been detailed. Carfax isn't the cleanest as someone drove it into an object 400 miles into the purchase new in 2003. I would be the 5th owner it looks like also. Rating is 78 out of 89 the lowest.
Still with carfax history I should buy it or look for a one owner?

Ahh, just came back and for one, it smells like smoke inside and no offense to the PO or anyone here who smokes (because I smoked few years ago) but that turned me down... I know $5000 or $6000 isn't much for a truck but I guess I expected it not to smell like smoke..
The other issue that I can't hop over, is that makes a lot of noise... constant noise while you're driving. PO blames the tires being worn and not factory. It's almost like grinding noise.. hard to explain.
Once again, a no no.. back to the search of things I guess.
