Handles A small goose-neck trailer well. (truck has factory extra weight, and trailer package's).
The addition of a few grease fittings, and better fuel tanks, and oil pan this
would be a super truck.
Are you kidding, 120k and u-joints and rusted out stuff are your only problems? You better thank whoever talked you into buying this truck or else you would have 5 pages of complaints about your Chevy or Dodge. Ford are awesome, use some preventative maintenance and you will be fine. My 95 F-150 with 185k living in Vermont runs like new, original everything except brakes, take care of your vehicle and you will have nothing to complain about.
