Purchased used in July of 2003, this pick-up has been very reliable for me. Ride is typical for a truck with a live front axle and one ton suspension. The 460 V-8 averages 8 mpg in the city, 12 on the highway. Twin fuel tanks allow a 500 mile range, but a fill-up from empty can drain your bank account faster than a weekend in Vegas. Everything is still working on this beast and no rust has developed despite living in a region of the country where the roads are heavily salted in the winter. The low range in 4WD is extremely low and has taken me to places where I would never have taken a 1/2 ton 4WD pickup. Overall I have been very happy with this truck!
Great

7.3L diesel makes this Ford truck tough enough to pull mesquite tree taproots with only a chain. Towing package makes for a slightly rougher ride than my wife's passenger car, but the clearance is more than enough to use in the mesquite and cactus. Enough room to put three boys in the back seat and still have a conversation between the front seat passengers. Body style doesn't belong to anything but a FORD!
