My friend is looking at getting this truck. I just wanted yaws opinions on it. What to look for before buying etc. Is the price to cheap? or just right?

Thanks in advance.

 

Nice looking truck, have you got on Kelleys Blue Book and looked at the value of the truck?

 

not yet(but i will), like I said my friend is looking to buy it and I just want to help give him some pointers and tips about things to ask and look at when they go to look at the truck and drive it.

 

looks like a nice truck.

 

4.6 with 36's... i bet that tranny is tired

 

truckguy thats what I was thinking...at least they put 3.73s and a programmer in it...

 

True, but It would still be a concern in my mind. Also, was it ever flushed? Lifted trucks used scare me. Heck any modded truck does in some ways. Just keep that in mind and tell your friend about the tranny. Never know how it was driven. Adult owned means squat to me. I bought my truck when I was 17 and am 18 gonna be 19 in a few months. I baby my truck. Never seen over 2700 rpms. Barely ever goes on 2100. Just food for thought

 

Yeah when we purchased my used f150, we payed considerably more(had 70,000 miles and slightly modded, just apperance.) and my truck has been awesome. But considering the miles, engine, condition, I think it was worth it. My friend is the kind of person who goes off of the looks rather than condition. If it looks good and the owner says its ok then he will believe it.

 

Exactly, depends on the situation. Let us know what your friend does.

 

Alright I will, he said his dad called about it so im pretty sure they will go look at it, I might see if they want me to tag along haha.

 

looks sweet but the 4.6 is going to be a massive toilet with 36s....they suck on 255s let alone 36s

 

3.73 is still pretty low for 36"s b2therad just got 4.56 for his 4.6 on 35"s

 

Thanks, I will tell him that.

 

Man get on the truck and blow her out, one of these days you gonna need to kick it in the *** and its going to cough and sputter and backfire out of the exhaust Just try it one time put it in drive and put your foot to the floor until you get up to about 85 or 90
