Modified used X's
I am still researching buying a diesel X (leaning towards '05). Should I avoid ones with modifications? Is there anything I should look at specifically or ask specifically if I do test drive one with modifications?

Just make sure you get ESP in case things aren't initially as they seem. In case you're not sure about a warranty, read this: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...ml#post3407541
