Nice truck, Lariat, I think, is with leather and all options, but don't quote me on that.

I'd take it over a Chev for sure, but I kinda like the Ram's of the same year.

They drive like a truck, lol I dunno what to tell you, there big and bulky, lots of power. Best built trucks out there for sure, I used to do snowplowing in the winters and that's all the company would buy, although the earlier F150s would have tranny problems halfway through the season, but if you're not plowing, you'll probably be fine.

Nice choice, I'm sure you'll be happy.

Well, we used 150's for plowing smaller driveways and hauling around shovels and stuff like that, and then we had F250 and 350 Diesles for the heavier plowing(school parking lots,etc) with big salt hoppers on them and most of the tranny problems were from these trucks (auto trans) and the 150s were all new or fairly new, the 250's and 350s were all early-mid 90's with the International engines. We had 2 chevs, one was a 99 and one was in the 80's with an Olds based diesle and they were CRAP, did nothing but work on those, I don't they pulled a week of service without breaking down.

I've always been a strong believer in Ford and thier trucks, like I said the only other trucks I'd consider is Dodge and only if it had a Cummins Diesle in it.

Anyway, good luck in your search.
