New guy in the room.
Hi folks.
I'm hoping I posted this in the right place. I just bought a 2005 F150 4x Lariat with the infamous 5.4L engine. It's gorgeous and has only 94K miles. It came from a new car dealer and came with a 100K warranty (at extra cost, of course). All in all I find nothing wrong with it other than it probably needs shocks and struts. I've been driving cars for 25 years, but my wife died last year, so I finally pulled the trigger. I'm looking and hoping for tips on what I can expect to encounter in terms of maintenance and repairs. For what it's worth, I'm a retired computer geek in Puget Sound.
