Everything seems good and in good condition, but now I have to take care of my truck now. So, is it true it can pull upto 20000 lbs cargo in flat bed trailer like what the seller told me.

Please, request you guys of not only use abbreviations, as some of us try to learn the ford and its defects, when you just put the abbreviation, we totaly loose the contents. Thanks

In my post I attached the link to the towing guide that I referenced the information from, on that link it showed what the abbreviations were for? I apologize.

Here are a list of common acronyms used in the forum

Thanks, I printed all the abbreviations, so will try to follow with your coments and it will help a lot of guys like me to get to know the ford better. Out of corusity when I was in Iraq, the iraqi police were using a lot of Ford pick ups in their patrol, can realy ford withstand the desert heat tempreture for a long time to come.

I am using this truck for transportation in the mid west, so it is goin to be my income now after the militry. I will start working next week on monday, so I checked everything now and all is good. I check the radiator, engine oil and the transmition gauges every day even I have picnic mat that allows me to check the bottom for any leak while it is heating, so what else you think I should do while reading here and follow up with you guys to keep this truck stable for my work.
