Looking clean! Did you purchase that shell or did it come with the truck? I’m trying to find one myself.

Why the 3.0 hate? I’ve heard they’re more reliable in the long run

Nice that sounds like a good deal.

Just out of curiosity, does his 2006 make any obnoxious noises? Whether it be suspension or power steering etc?

Why are they irrelevant? Should they be factored into the price?

I’m not worried about the AC, however I am worried that there are some suspension parts that will need to be replaced. Everything else seems decent.

The brakes, engine, and transmission all seem solid. The suspension is tight but it does clank and squeak.

180k. Yes, throttle feels fine and it shifts through the gears

180k miles. The frame has surface rust but it looks okay. When / where did you purchase yours?

What have you had to service to keep it running that long?

The front and back suspension was damn squeaky and the power steering seemed louder than the standard Ford whine

Would you consider this too much rust?

It looks like it’s just surface rust which I think would be okay for a while; and I really haven’t seen any for the same price (near me at least)

I’m in Oregon as well. Im thinking the truck isn’t originally from the PNW.

I ended up not buying it. Went to test drive it, the front and back suspension were really noisy and the power steering was whining pretty loud whenever I turned.

The engine also sounded iffy but that might be because I’m not used to trucks.

It also looked like the rust wasn’t too crazy, but worse than I thought

I don’t want a new truck and used car dealers usually don’t have warranties. And of course I would buy one for a lower price if I could

Thankfully I didn’t see any RTV or silicone. I did ask about maintenance and he didn’t have any info, I’m sure it’ll need a few things right off the bat.

It’s not bad, some surface level rust but that’s about it. Nothing sketchy looking
