Advice on truck
I have available a silver 2006 f-150 4 door short bed for 7,000. It is
a leased vehicle for a company that my dad works at and has 136,000 miles on it. Is this a good deal? Are these dependable? My curent truck has 315,000 on it and it is a king cab without the doors. It wouls be nice to be able to have the extra doors to haul the kids around. |

I believe it has the small v8 engine. (4.6 L maybe???) |

He's going to haul his family around with it - finding GOOD older trucks at a reasonable cost in about 75% of North America is like finding a needle in a haystack. Either they've had the snot driven out of them by some kid, they've had the tail worked off of them or beat to heck as a working truck, they've been abused and neglected, or they've rusted away. |
