New guy with questions

Just joined tonight and need advise from the experts. I'm considering the purchase of a 2000 f150 xlt (2wd, stick, 4.2 v6, long bed, cap) with 162,000 miles on the odometer. This would replace my '94 Mazda (Ranger) B3000. This truck has 569,000 miles (NO JOKE!) on it. The good service this truck provided has me shopping in Ford land. So, what are the "soft spots" on this 2000 xlt? (What should I look at closely?) How reliable is the 4.2 v6? What would be a fair price? What gas mileage are conservitive drivers experiencing?

thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!

Holy smokes that is some impressive mileage! This forum is a good one to look over and you can also checkout the 4.2 engine forum. Click on the Forums tab at the upper left and scroll down to it.
