Can't beat that price, looks great. With 77k miles the trucks just broken in. Swing down to the V10 forum sometime and learn more about the engine and maint tips.

Nice looking ride. I think you got a great deal too. A larger tire or wheel /tire combo would be my target as far as first mod.

Congratulations on getting a great truck. I had the V10 in my Excursion and loved it- plenty of power. And welcome to FTE!

I cringe every time someone suggests cutting holes in the cab for lights that are completely unnecessary... Nice looking truck, and great buy!

Heres a couple pics of my truck with 285/75R16 Dick Cepek FC-2 tires on stock wheels.(Not the best pic but....)

I have other tires on my truck now as the tires had crackeing problems and were replaced. 285s are the perfect size for a stock height truck IMO.

Take it from me, I'm running 315s on the stock rim. From what I understand, it's the biggest tire you can get with the stock rims. Just an FYI, should the "lift bug" sink it's fangs into you.......

My 305/50/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers look good on Helo HE835 Wheels. But if you want to run your stock rims, I am a fan of BFG A/T or M/T in a 285.

Nice truck! I love that blue on all things ford.
You gotta love the people who keep track of everything, it gives you piece of mind when you buy used.
ENJOY!
