Ok, first iPhone app sucks and search doesn't work; so please post links if needed BUT here's the good stuff.

I'm looking for a new to me truck.. I currently have a 2002 supercab fx4. Got offered a good amount on it.

At first I wasn't considering a newer f150. But I drove a 2008 f150 lariat.. Loved it. But at 23k for 130k miles I couldn't even consider it.

So my questions, what are the differences in the 04-05-06-07-08.
I noticed the fog lights are square on the earlier ones that's about it. Same exact engines all the way through right; no mid gen PI engine.

And is that a reasonable price^ trying to get my bearings.

An 08 with 130k is way to many miles, I drive mine constantly and am at 69k on my 08XLT. The 2004-2007 models were notorious for the spark plugs getting stuck in the block. Like you said the square fog lights were I wanna say 04-06. Other than that there's no difference from what I know of.

Yeah as far as I can see that's the only real difference; that and I can't get a stock navi unit in a 2004 or 05. And yeah; the sparkplugs were a issue on my last truck to.. And also the 2000 camaro.

Something about American cars and spark plugs

But nice, for 10k that's awesome. I'm looking for around 70-90k miles. That seems to be the avg market in the area.
It's just hard to find a nice lariat with lower miles near me.
