My 05 F150 had 85,000ish on it when I got it in 2011, now sitting at 140,000 and nary a problem out of it except general maintenance. I have the 5.4 in mine as well and it has plenty of giddy-up for my purposes.

Ask for records of maintenance, car fax, have it looked at by a mechanic, pay for the inspection, get a compression test done, crankcase pressure checked, what is worn, what is coming up as far as maintenance and repairs, get their opinion on it as well.
Buy an extended warranty, and use it. Tons of coverage with little out of pocket.
Oh, and main thing which ever one you buy. Maintenance........And as close to the book as possible.Last edited by BIGTERRY75; 05-07-2014, 11:46 PM.

I'm still driving the one I bought with 110k miles. It has around 185k on it and all I have done is a little front end work and a water pump. I will drive it another 2 years and hand it down to my son.
