Woot! Somebody had one for sale! We just purchased a used 2001 Ford F150 4x4 SuperCrew Lariat to use as our tow vehicle. We were able to get it for $6,500.00 and the only down side is that it has 150,000 miles on it, but it is mechanically sound. From what I have found, the F150 should be good for 250-300K miles before needing a major overhaul. It will take us a long time to put that many miles on it.
I took it to the Ford dealer to have them service everything: engine oil, transmission and a few other things I can't do myself. I will change the fuel filter, get new shocks for it, change the differential fluid, etc. Gotta make sure it is in tip-top shape before we hit the road for good. The next step is the travel trailer.
