 I bought this vehicle used with 17K and 
have loved it.  I have the v10 and my 
mileage is ~11 MPG, which is the same 
as my 1999 Dodge Ram extended cap 
pickup.  I have three kids in car seats 
which I can put next to each other in 
the second row.  I am supprised at the 
pickup on the freeway, my truck will 
jump like a rabit at 80 MPH.  I have 
had some problems with mine;  New front 
4*4 @ 25K,  All new door locks at 60K, 
New front upper & lower ball joints @ 
70K, plus new heated seat @ 70K.  
Luckily I bought a extended warranty 
from ford so I only have to pay $100 
Ded for each item.  I am looking 
forward to buying a 2004 model next 
year.
