I'm not sure where to post this, but I have a 2000 f150 XLT supercab with a 4.6l 4x4 & 75,000km (approx 46,000 miles). Most things are stock & little to no rust.
I got offered a 2007 supercrew 5.4 4x4 with 230,000km & some aftermarket parts including muffler, levelling kit, rear blocks.
Cons is truck idles low on occasion (bad lifter?) and power steering whines around full turns but that's all.
I know if it's a completely bad lifter I'll be bummed out, but I want to know others opinion on what I should do?
Thanks in advance!

Way too little info...is the trade straight across? If so, why does the owner want to dump a newer truck? I'd be skeptical about any deal, but it's hard to tell with the limited information in your post.

Keep your truck,low mileage is hard to find

+1 keep it

I'd keep it. 3V engines are turds. Replacing cam phasers is very expensive. And it's not a matter of if. It's when...

Don't trade it. Your truck is older by age, not Milage... Everything on your truck should still work fine for a while, with the higher Milage truck who knows what kind of headache you're going to end up with. +2.

The '00 is the better truck, keep it.

Another vote for keeping the 00

Keep the 4.6L. It's a much better engine and will run almost forever with just standard maintenance.

The 2007 may just have a vacuum leak or bad sensor causing the low idle. I would need more information to make a good choice.
