^^^^^Yes that is what you want!!!

I disagree, I vote 1998-2000 3.0L V6 extended cab 4x4 5spd. Those are the ones that are flex fuel, they look great, have a 8.8 in the rear and are generally just badass. I guess that's why I bought one. In fact, the 2000s frequently don't have those stupid pulse hubs either, just solid "always on" connection, I love mine. Only down side is the stupid electronic shift t-case. What the heck Ford?
**edit**
Oh yeah, gas mileage is great (I regularly get 20mpg), still tows stuff fine as long as its less than about 4,000 lbs and it's basically a bullet proof engine/tranny combo.
X2.
Depends on your preference (and your $$$). Just remember up till 97 they used the Dana 35 TTB front end and 98+ use the control arm IFS (correct term?). Just some things to keep in mind.
