2003 or 2006
This past Monday totalled my 2004 FX4 with 194,000 miles on it. Other guys fault.
I am now shopping for a new one.
I am look at two:
2003 FX4, 160,000 miles, leather, loaded, new head gasket and ARP within past 20,000 miles, New HPOP, EGR Block off, turbo clean, etc. a few other things. Basically all the trouble spots - $14,000.00 oh, clean car fax
Or
2006 4x4 cloth 170,000 mostly loaded, clean car fax, maintenance history unknown - 12,000
what are the thoughts here.
I am driving a toyota corolla right now so probably will make decision tomorrow or Saturday.
in advance
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I'm told that most of the bugs in the 6.0 were worked out by 2006 so I would say go with that one, I like the look of them more.
Sorry bout your truck man! I've been there with my 2005 F150 Lariat.

I would go for the 03 myself cause I like the leafspring frontend better myself. The 06s has the redigned parts. As far as the egr delete goes that's a good guess. I dunno if the egr coolers where ever redigned. Your talking $2k between the the trucks. If you want the 06 buy it put an edge cts gauge only on it and monitor the eot/ects. It seems like when there's like 20 degs or something like that between the 2 there could be a problem. There's info in the 6.0 section on that.
There's after market egr coolers that fixes the problems that tje stock coolers have. Rcd and bulletproof are favorites on this forum board. I know 3 guys that has both brands. 2 bulletproofs and 1 rcd. If you like the newer truck at least its alittle cheaper leaving you alittle room to moddifi.
