yes I try auto trader, cars.com and carsforsale.com
but u know its Alaska and im in the central part and low mileage vehicles in around 30 to 100 miles don't come very often, do u search auto trader by price or year or how u do it

garbill2003

Area code then model and year and yes you have to have a price range LOL

swat khan

yea lol that's what I do see it only showed me this one vehicle in 97-03 year in 500 miles that's how hard it is to find good trucks

(Used 2003 Ford F150 4x4 Regular Cab Flareside

• 98,475 miles
• $8,995

I copied this from autotrader.com,
one question plz, du you think these 99-03 models are better than 04-08 models?

garbill2003

To be honest with you that your opinion my 2003 does just fine and is almost pushing as much hp as a Eccoboost. They are all good trucks but they all do have problems

swat khan

they can get quicker than the stock with dual xhaust and tuner and stuff right?

garbill2003

Yes the 2v modular ford has a lot of aftermarket

swat khan

ok here it is (2001 F-150 ,Lariat, SuperCrew, 4x4, 5.4L, 59757 Miles, automatic tranny and everything like seats windows, 2 sets of good wheels n tires, one set is 20 inch, burgundy color) should get it for 13000 to 13500. that sounds good?
I am moving to PA in a cpl years and I don't think this 99 f150 will make it through the rough terrain through Alaska and Canada, that's why this 01 with low mile might become my keeper and can use it to tow or haul all my stuff safe through and keep the truck for a long time I hope cuz I like the colour n all the features, ty

garbill2003

What parts of pa you moving to

To answer your question about 99-03 vs Newer trucks. From what i've read the earlier 3v engines have cam phaser issues. The spark plugs these years are also difficult to change. There's a few other issues with the 3v but I can't think of them right now. All in all I'd stick with this generation.

swat khan

That's what I was thinking, they almost make the same power while this generation makes it at low rpms, I already changed spark plugs myself on these 2v a couple times in just 2 -3 hours
(just the crash test makes you think alittle much about this Gen, but heyit can happen with any vehicle that's just luck, lol)
