GOTTA get outta this Chevy... I HATE it!!! Nothing wrong with it, just hate it... So here's my 2 favorites... Both Crew Cab, leather, 5.4L and 4x4 (or FX4)

2004 F150 SCrew FX4 with 76K Miles. 6inch lift with worn BFGs - 35" i believe, K&N Intake, exhaust. Good Shape in and out... $17,900

2005 F150 SCrew 4x4 Lariat with 47K Miles... Stock. $16,700

What would you go for?? No negotiations on prices yet...

 

The Lariat, it was probably treated better, has less miles, has a higher book value, and you can do your own mods.

 

I agree with the other poster, plus the 04's had a few more factory issues than the 05's...they seemed to work more of the bugs out each year.

 

I just bought my 05' FX4 with 44,000 miles (stock) for $14,900+tax. I would probably go with the Lariat, I like the center console shifter and the miles is a big thing for me.

 

The 05 purely because it has less miles and you're not inherting someones mods, also I am sure you could go much lower on which ever one you choose. And I mean its a win win situation!

 

OMG, momalle, we agree!

 

My only thing is... I will NEVER get around to modding the truck... But you are all right, the lariat is a nicer deal all around... Even if I used the leveling kit I have had for 2 years that I never used and put 33s on it later... Tuff call for me... lol

 

It seems everytime I hear people buying used trucks on this forum, it always seems like a high price. Maybe its a regional thing, but in Ohio, you can get some pretty sweet deals on off-lease trucks 2006-2008 F150, F250's with under 20,000 miles in the low teens.Type in Fidelity Leasing Ohio into your browser and look thru the inventory and you will get an idea what I mean. And don't get me started on price drops on new trucks. Must be regional...

 

Sheesh... South Texas is a truck market... Everyone drives em... Not sure what fidelity leasing is, but I am not about to lease or finance another vehicle as long as I live... My days of "how much down and how much a month" are over... I just wanna know: HOW MUCH?!?!

 

I actually bought my truck from Fidelity Leasing in Ohio. All they do is purchase trucks that have been leased by Ford/GM/etc (when the lease is up) and sell them. They typically have balance of the warranty and very low miles. The guy told me since there are so many Auto Manufacturing plants around - Lordstown, etc. The Ford/GM employees get these trucks cheap under discount and let them go after a couple of years for a new one. So that kind of turnover drives down the used auto market price for anyone looking. Can't complain...

 

Take over the payments of my truck so I can buy an H3T alpha

 

LoL I don't do payments... How Much?!?!

Here are photos of the two...

 

I just bought my '04 FX4 with 39k for $12,900 +TTT. Super clean black leather, backup sensors (thought they were dumb but man I love them), and totally unmodded.

 

the lariat hands down

 

Yeah, I suppose the brown F150, leveled on 33"s in front of my boat wouldn't look to bad...
