New-to-me 2006 F150 XLT 4x4

I’m back in a Ford! Sold my 2008 F250 XL 4x4 a couple of years ago and just need a truck.

i’ve started to clay bar the paint (no rust and paint may need a clear coat spray). Diffs need fluid changes along with trans (will drain and fill). Sway bar grommets need replacing BUT…the previous owner did say plugs had been changed (207k). But I still have rhe Lisle tool.

Overall, the truck is in very good condition and sure beats a $900/month truck paymet!

I think a lot of owners heard the horror stories and put plug changes off too long. 207K I had a guy wanting codes read once, truck was missing, 269K, original plugs.
