I bought this truck with 84,000 miles on the odometer in 2007.She had a dent and some paint damage which I had taken care of at the best reputable body pain shop I could find. She came back looking better than she was on the show room floor. She now has 204,000 miles on her. I worked this truck hauling steel on a HD trailer in the state of Utah for at least 5 years daily. I have pulled people in bigger trucks out of the ditch in heavy snow. I am so fond of it's power and reliability I wish I could be buried in her when I finally die. It is the 7th of March in the year of our Lord 2023 as I am writing this review. "big Red" is outside ready and waiting for the next adventure as faithful as she ever was. Ford did right by me and themselves in her creation and I am truly thankful.

I've had a little trouble with the capacitor on the diesel. However, Ford has a 3rd generation capacitor that is now reliable. I added a leaf all around to raise the truck, rather than using a lift kit.Happy with the results. This truck is extremely reliable and will do anything and get me anywhere. Put 265 tires on it right away. Plastic trim on the inside of the XLT is fragile Rear seat is ok, although we've had teenagers sit in the back across the country twice. If you get a diesel, get the manual transmission. You get the great advantage of using engine compression off-road and in poor road conditions.
