So this happened...

Got in the truck the other morning and it was at exactly a quarter million.

I've kept up with maintenance and it still drives like new. Body and interior could pass for >100k miles, I'm sure of it.

I just did its third set of ball joints and replaced the radiator a few months ago. Fourth (I think?) set of tires, third set of spark plugs and regular fluid/filter changes.

from his profile, looks like a 2002 2wd with the 3.0.

I agree, more pics.

Should have been more specific. 2002 XLT, 3.0L, 5R44E, 2WD, 7.5" rear with 3.73 gears.

If you look past the fact it's a 3.slow and an automatic it's actually a pretty nice truck.

If I ever finish my Mustang, it will be getting a 5.0L.

I'm an astonishingly bad truck photographer but you'll get the idea.
