500 miles: Broken plastic hub cap.
16000 miles: Transmission is leaking.
For the most part this truck is OK.
Do not buy the V6, it's unrefined and weak.
The automatic transmission finds overdrive too soon causing the engine to lug at speeds below 55 mph.
Bench seats offer no lumbar support.
Ford replaced the transmission @ 19K miles.
Anyone knows don't buy a V6 in a full size truck.
The V-6 offers plenty of power paired with a five-speed 3.55 rear end as long as you don't use the truck for towing.
I tow a 18 foot fish and ski with my 4.2 using only the bumper hitch. It weighs around 1500 pounds. I estimate with my fishing trips over the last 3 years that I have pulled the boat ~2500 miles.
