Hi,
I've been leasing a Camry for a number of years and it's due back or roll it into a purchase in June so I've decided to turn it in and pay cash for a 2005-2007 F150. I'm looking for a Super Cab as opposed to the Super Crew because around here all I see is a 5 1/2' bed with the Super Crew. It's usually one passenger and lots of camping gear and bicycles so the bed length is important. At some point, I might be pulling a popup camper. In my price range, I'm looking at trucks around 130k miles. Obviously, any sellers' goal is to sell their truck and my goal is not to buy a vehicle that is going to spend all of its time in the shop so we're basically on opposing teams, lol.
I can do some repairs (parts replacement that takes less than a day), but it will be my daily driver and I'm a teacher which means no life until June so it needs to be dependable. What should I look for and what questions should I ask the seller?
Thanks!
Marie

Welcome to the site Marie. And thanks for being a teacher, I don't know how you do it now a days. I know being a student in the 70's and 80's, we didn't 'challenge' our teachers like they do now...hahaha.....good on you!
I have 2007 SCrew with the short box and I love this truck, hopefully you will feel the same with yours.
