Talking Sold It!!!!

Fella's I sold it..My dodge 4x4 will be gone within 2 weeks..Yes and I will be back with my beloved Ford trucks..Looking at F150's 4x4 about 97-98..It feels so good to almost be back..Iam truly excited about that blue oval being back in my driveway..Until you exerience being with out one I cannot explain the feelings..It almost makes me want to shed a tear..I have felt all along that I betrayed Ford..I thought it was the right thing to do at the time but it was another lesson I had to learn....But....Iam back..Yea for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Welcome back! But....whatever you don't get a black one. Mine is currently in the shop after only a 18 month of being brought into this world getting totally stripped down to bare metal (and aluminum and fiberglass) for a repaint under warranty. I love my truck but this past four weeks with another 2 to go has been HELL! Good luck!

Hey man..Well i love it ...my 1990 F-150 was a 4.6l and it was great to but with the 5.4L i get better power and toweing power...Alittle worse on gas mileage but all in all i am very pleased..
I dunno why it's hard to find in Texas but if your planning on getting a new truck I am sure a Ford dealer there would order you one with no problem....Arkansas has good Ford Places and i bought my truck about 17 Miles away in another town near me and they can order about any kind you like

I have noticed that about maybe 3 out of 10 4x4's Fords have the 5.4!! I have got atleast 3 places on the web and 1 local dealer looking for me now..That should do it..

I think thats alittle high i bought my 97 with 91,000 miles on it for $9,000 even and he had a new rear end put in...The miles aren't bad but you might have to put a new engine with pistons and coils,and rings unless it has a new engine....but good luck man i just want to make sure you don't get a lemon...no ones wants a lemon
also my 97 was a Lariat with leather seats,6 disc cd player,clean clean inside and great paint job..
hope you can find what u want

Hey Jim thanks for the info...They might just be priced higher in Texas...Every truck that I have come across is about in this price range..The dealer told me that their shop has looked it over from top to bottom and it is in perfect condition or atleast that is what he said..I thought I would ask if he would take 8500 for it, if so I would drive to the Dallas area and take a serious look at it...
