Can anyone give me tips for buying a 1999 Ford F150 Extended Cab 4x4, Tips and what to watch out for?
I am planing to buy an 1999 Ford F150 Ext Cab with 4x4, XLT or Larient Trim. I have $8-$12K to spend, i'd prefer to buy it at around 8K. The truck will have around 100-140K miles. I am looking for a reliable truck that will be able to do everything. Is this truck a good choice for the millage that it has? Also, can you guys give me some tips to check out when I go for a test drive/check out the truck. I have consumer reports and have been looking at various Ford websites for tips, but I would like to see what you guys have to say from your experiences. Is it worth it to get the 5.4L V8 over the smaller, one because of similar gas millage? I don't plan to haul trailers. I plan to use the truck as an everyday driver and also road trips across a couple of states. What are some common problems these trucks experience at the stated millage? What are some red flags to look out for?
Thanks.
Im in PHX, Arizona if that helps.
Good truck. The 5.4 is a good work horse and like you mentioned, not pulling a trailer that motor will not disappoint you.
If I knew where your approximate location was I could give you some pricing info, but I bet you have done that yourself.
I really think properly maintained that Truck can last many, many seasons and be a joy to drive.
