Didn't look half bad and doesn't seem to be a bad price. I would check as see if he had the plugs changed. With some people is costs thousands from what I've read.

Whatever you do (saw the location) do NOT deal with Feduke if you need dealer service after you buy it.

There's a Ford dealer closer to me that I trust not feduke though. He had a full tune up at 100k miles I'll ask him about the spark plugs though.

nice. I used to sell fords for years. check a few things; run the motor for a few minutes and listen for a "ticking" noise or if its sounds like a diesel- i would be concerned. the trucks are infamous for a few trouble areas- spark plugs breaking when trying to change them, cam passers, COP's going bad. so listen for the "ticking" noise, ask if the plugs have been changed, push every button on the dang thing. check all the lights, run the AC, turn the steering wheel hard left/right and listen for "whining" from the pump, roll the windows all the down/up, etc... put the truck and all accessories through the paces. goodluck and welcome to the wonderful world of F150!!!

I will do that and make sure it's a b9 or h6 rear end I may have those numbers backwards. I'll run it through the paces tomorrow morning then report back here with my findings. Thanks for the warm welcome I'm happy to be here

Doesn't look like to bad of a deal, I paid $10,000 for my 07' crew with 133,xxx. I agree with the other guys, let the truck warm up and listen for engine noises, check the 4x4 and what not. But looks like a decent deal for a lariat. Nice color combo too.

is that rust under the gas cap cover? i know it is a common issue in the 04-08's. I had it on mine when I bought it and you end up having to repaint the whole bedside in order to repair it correctly. Just a negotiation point for ya
