Been lurking a bit whilst surveying the market for a used vehicle. Didn't plan on buying anything at this point in time, but a driver who lost control of her vehicle in a late spring snow last Wednesday forced that decision upon me. [@#$%!]
And so I started the hunt for something with which I could tow. Something good in snow. Been driving Jeep Cherokees for `25 yrs, and I figured a change was in order. Ended up with a bit of a slightly irrational atraction to the F150s. Irrational because I really ought to be looking for something that provides a little better milage. I do need to tow, but I don't really need anything bigger than a Ranger. That rational voice tried to calm my building lust for the F150 ...
I pick up a 2002 F150 5.4l supercab FX4 today.
I looked for a 4.6, I really did. And I could have waited a couple of weeks, but this one fell into my lap and I couldn't resist.
Any hints, tips, cautions, conventional wisdom about this truck are welcome. Otherwise, I plan to lurk a bit, get a feel for the group, maybe learn something.
