Default Lifespan?

Im new to the forum and I dont have a truck yet but I am buying one tomorrow. Its a 2002 f150 xlt 4x4 and it has xtr on the back. I have read it means another package(bumper,grille,wheels)??? It has 87000 miles on it and im wondering how long should I expect one of these to run for? I dont plan on beating it to death, Just some back roads for hunting. Maybe doing some work to it too (small lift kit,intake,exhaust,etc).... 200,000???

Take care of it and make sure it was taken care of. Take care of her and she should last you past 200k.

Are you from Canada?

If you get it, post up some pictures of it so we can finally figure out what the xtr is. From what I have found it is something to do with the paint or other appearance add ons.

Welcome to the site!

Thanks for the comments it makes me feel better about buying it. I heard that it came from canada, but I live in Oregon. I have heard different opinions on what the xtr is (canada package?) and never got a for sure answer. I will post pics if it passes inspection and I buy it.

From Ford.ca:

The XTR is decked out in chrome, featuring:
Chrome "H bar centre" grille w/chrome surround
Chrome exhaust tip
5” chrome running boards
18” chrome wheels
Colour-keyed, leather-wrapped steering wheel
Same as XLT except you pay about $2,300 more for these visual elements.

afaik only the FX4 comes with that. They're also not listed for the XTR on ford's website. Are you sure they're not aftermarket?
