Been looking for F150's for the last week but just now found something that may be interested in: Two owner truck, 2010 SCREW with 117K miles but it has the 5.4L V8. Clean Car fax but it does have some sort of Computer fix from the dealer around the 80K mile mark.

What's the VCT issues, got any links for me to review?
Edit: I did find this link so I'll review it when I have time:

How are the 5.4L V6's? Or are these the ones that have the VCT issues?

Kevin

 

There is no 5.4 V6 that I'm aware of.

 

That's what I thought, it was probably a typo on the dealer's site.

I found a 2010 with the 5.0L with 110K miles that I may be looking at tonight.

Another question:
I see trucks with the chrome panels along the rocker panels and down the window pillars. Is this chrome factory installed or dealer installed, ie trying to cover up paint/rust areas?

The 5.0 was not available in the F150 until 2011.

 

Really? That's good to know! The dealer just told me over the phone it was the 5.0L. Here's the VIN if it helps: 1FTFW1EV7AFA14463

That is a 2010 with a 5.4 3 valve flex fuel. Dealer doesn't know what he's talking about or they are trying to mislead you.

 

I wouldn't trust that guy to sell me a car.

 

I believe 2009 and 2010 they didnt offer a V6 at all,

should be
4.6 2v (base engine)
4.6 3v
5.4 3v

 

New Question:

A dealer sent some pics of a recent trade in and it's a 2012 SCREW XLT, 5.0L, LONG BOX.

Does anyone know how long this truck is bumper-to-bumper?
I've seen wheel base charts and bed length specs but nothing on the overall length. My Tundra is 19ft long and that's about all that will fit in the garage.

Dealer hasn't gotten back to me today on the length so I'm hoping someone could help me out with a link or knowledge.

243.9 inches. That's just over 20 feet. A short bed would be 231.9 inches, just over 19 feet.

 

Thnx again for your help! That's cutting it cloooose. I do have room for it but I can see parking downtown could get me tickets...

Just park in the commercial parking spaces which are longer.

Or, pay for 2 parking meters.

Better yet, ask the local parking authority what they want you to do, so that you can be in compliance.

I live in a big city. Trucks downtown routinely take more than 1 space. Some guys will pay both meters. I've never gotten a ticket for my long bed truck. But if that's what happens in some places, then it would be best to check with the locals on how they want you to park.
