Thanks for all of the information. Lots of good stuff here.

I'm planning at this point on only getting the V6. I've driven one and it has more power than I need. I'm on a $15,000 ceiling so the V6 and manual transmission save me a bundle. I've driven a manual transmission since 1981. They don't bother me a bit. No other big concerns regarding color, just not black or white. Planning to go with the XLT model.

 

A XLT with just stanard equipment and no options will run you around 20,000 for a reg cab 4x2

2000 F150 XLT Reg. cab
4.6 Triton Engine
4x2 3.55 rear end gear
sliding rear window
automatic keyless entry
white styleside short box

 

Sorry, I meant to continue an existing thread and started a new one by accident. I'm looking for a 1999 model and have a fleet discount at a local dealer.

 

Hope you find what your looking for.
