I have been very satisfied with this vehicle and would buy another one in a heartbeat. It has never left me stranded, does everything I ask of it without complaint and dosent seem like it ever wants to quit. I have had a few problems here and there, but nothing to outrageous from a high mileage vehicle. I also don't count oil changes, spark plugs and wires as repairs cause that's part of general maitnence. I was kind of nervous when I first bought it cause of the mileage and the first year model lineup and all that, but it has proven very trustworthy and reliable, I would jump in this truck right now and drive it anywhere.
I have to agree with you... when you take care of a vehicle, it will take care of you... most people who dog on Ford just don't understand that..
When you say 'taking care of it', does that mean pouring money into it to fix everything that breaks month by month? That's my experience with Ford's, as is the same with just about any Ford owner that I've ever spoken to.
