The mileage on that truck is in Kilometers that would be 108165K miles for us. In the late 90's and early 00's, both the 5.4 and the 4.6 liter had the potential problem with ejection plugs, mostly seen with higher mileage engines. From what I've read about this if you own one it's a good idea to check the torque on the plugs once a year and never use anti-seize on them.
The 4.6 and the 5.4 liter made it in Ward's 10 Best Engines from 96 through 2007.
Edit: I just did the conversion from Canadian to US dollars and that's $9120.38. Like you guy's said that's to much for that truck. I've seen 02's with similar mileage go for around 10K US dollars. Do trucks cost more in Canada?

Trucks do cost more in Canada because the conversion hasn't been made since now the Canadian dollar is worth more than the USD.

Thats the good thing.... you only have to pay the same sales taxes as you would pay at a dealer anyways! I'm seriously thinking of getting a truck in Buffalo.
