Getting a new truck. What should I look for?

Plan on spending several hundred bucks to get the spark plugs changed. With that mileage, it's due for transmission fluid service, diff fluid change, transfer case fluid change, fuel filter, and coolant flush. If it has noisy cam phasers, walk away.
That's probably why the previous owner sold it - it's due for some fairly major periodic maintenance.

Several hundred for plugs? I must have a cheaper mechanic than I thought. Agree that they need to be changed as does tranny fluid and fuel filter. Ford claims in the owner's manual that the differentials are considered lubricated for life and do not need to be checked or changed unless aleak is suspected, service is required, or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. I would at the very least have it checked before outright changing it. Agree with the coolant too.
