Get the VIN and do an Oasis report. It'll show Ford maintainance and warranty work. That right there could give you a lot of info on the truck. Keep asking questions here if you're not sure. There's a lot of info at hand so don't hessitate to ask.

I agree with D8chumley! I bought my 03 last Feb, I've put about 23K miles on it since and (outside of warped front rotors and a dash console replacement) I've had NO problems with it! I kept my 150 when I bought this truck....the 150 gets used only on weekends now (mostly to keep it up) the 250 gets better milage and is a fantastic ride.
That OASIS report should be part of your buy or no-buy decision.
Happy New Year!
