Looks like it has a nice straight body on it. You came to the right place for info on that truck.There are some very sharp people on these forums that are pretty hard to stump.
I am in Ontario. I have a '99 F-150 5.4 that I have had for nearly 3 years, and in November, I picked up an '01 Excursion XLT with the 7.3 PSD. I stumbled upon the FTE site, looked around and joined up a month ago. Mainly looking for tips on the Ex and diesel; but there is a wealth of info to be gleaned from this place!! So, I killed 2 birds this morning; Joined Club FTE, and the SoCal chapter.
I have an 18' TT that I pulled with my '97 F-150 4.6, then with my '99. Soon, I'll pull it with the Ex (probably won't feel it!). I spend a week every year at Carpinteria State Beach with my wife's family. We've been going to Carp now for 16 years. But it won't be too long until I pick up a longer TT. The 18' is just getting too small, but it has served me well!!
I look forward to hearing from you all, and to the G2G to come!!
