Hey all,
I am thinking of buying a 2001 F-150 Super cab (extended), Long bed 4x4 XLT. The truck has 117,xxx miles on it. It is from a friend of the family who owns a used car lot. He is a good friend and tells me it is in great shape. I am going to see the vehicle on saturday (with the intention of driving it home).

The reason i am posting this is i am wondering if anyone knows of anything i should look at closely on this vehicle before buying it. I know the basics, but any fine etails would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys.

Matt

look to see if the coil packs are newish cause it's at the approximate mileage where the coil packs goes bad

 

balljoints, normal rust spots,

 

Check the rocker panels for rust. If it looks like just surface rust bubbling the paint, they are already at the point where you can poke a hole in them.

 

is the alignment good you can't get it alignmend at the small shops. it's to long
