Just bought mine a week ago. Had some misgivings after reading all the forums so here's my story. Production date was 5/8/03. Bought the crewcab Lariat 4x4. With the rebate and a little negotiation, got what I feel is a good deal on the 03 for the amount of truck I'm getting. So far (500 miles) very satisfied with every part of the vehicle. No problems, leaks and no hesitation after its warmed up just a few minutes. Truck pulls unlike any other I've ever driven. Interior is very comfortable and is put together well. Currently getting 17.7 mpg with combined city hwy driving that is heavy to hwy commuting. That's much better than the 5.4 screw I traded in for it. Rides well for the type truck that it is. Can't get it in my garage though. (I knew that already)
Just wanted to get a good word out and will keep you posted.

Always good to hear about the good ones too.

Thanks.
