Sold this one at 450,000, fantastic vehicle. The replacement F150 has 140,000 and looks to be problem free as well.

My 15 year old son started driving. We found this 2002 F150 4x4 with 138k miles on it. Came with a Warn winch, topper, and decked drawer system in the bed.
Nice find. mtmuley
Just dropped off my Tacoma for new drivers seat belt and took the 2001 F150 now with 220k and the interior module waiting for install.
I got the Ford to lower use on Tacoma, now with 359k...seat strap worn out from my badge and shoulder epalaps...
Nice find in Ford green, mine is AZ bronze or Nm mud/dust color.
The interior short is only issue I've had...windows up but the AC & heater work great.

This one is a lariat and the interior is really clean. Was owned by an elderly guy in Bozeman for most of its life. My boy won’t let me get in it without cleaning off my boots.
We live on a dirt road and I’m in the construction business. I hope the new wears off for him soon.Mine too,a Lariat, and so clean you coulda eaten off the engine....no more. The Huskie mats are always filling up. The radio knobs are dusted...the mud has worn the drivers side window into steaks,worn tint....LOL.This one is a lariat and the interior is really clean.

2006 Ram 2500 with 5.7 hemi.
195k miles. I bought it new with 8 miles. Oil changes every 4k miles.
Still original engine and trans.
Been pulling my trailers, tractors, Rhino, quads, hay, etc. back and forth to my place in Idaho for years.
Still runs like new.
No leaks.
Drinks gas like a pig though.
Gets about 12 mpg empty or loaded.
I did finally just have to have the radiator and water pump replaced.
I'll put a motor in her before I'd spend the money on a new one with all the technology.

I have a 2003 1500 on 35s, I get 12 mpg as well. Problem around here is the rust just eats them.
Main hunting truck is a 2014 1500, same hemi engine, taller gears and stock tires = 20 mpg.
Yours is a sharp looking truck.

No pic, 2005 F250 with the dreaded 6.0. Bought cheaper than a wore out 1/2 ton gasser at GSA auction. 70,000 miles on it. 70,800 put #6 injector tip in piston. Oh crap, I probably just lost an engine. No, the mechanic says, we replaced the injector, changed the oil, just drive it til it dies and then replace or rebuild motor. 93,000 miles later its still going strong. Better galvanizing in the panels and its just now starting to show a little rust. Never garaged and hardly washed. A real beast. You just have to accept the fact that it might die on its next journey. Don't sweat the small stuff. Just go but be prepared.
