A couple weeks ago I noticed this truck sitting on the Ford Dealers used lot right across from my office. A few days later I checked on it and ended up taking it home for a weekend test. I brought it back to them and just chilled on it for a week or so. We finally got together last evening on it and done the deal. It's a '99, only 2 years newer than mine, but it has 69,000 one owner miles. It's got the big V10, 4WD Auto, limited slip 4:30 gears. XLT Lariat. It's in unbelievable shape, clean as a pin, inside, outside and underneath. The truck was registered in Florida, it's owners lived in WV and towed a 5th wheel with it to winter in Florida. Never seen more complete, comprehensive service records kept on a vehicle. I don't think I could've found a better used truck for the money I put into it...it should last me for years...
Mine is a '99, F-350 2 WD with a V-10. I too purchased mine used, back in 2005 if I recall correctly. It only had 27,000 miles and was only used by a retired couple to pull their 5th wheel to Florida each winter, kind of like yours. It now has 72,000 and has not given me a bit of trouble. Mileage has been 12 mpg at best, usually around 10 mpg and pulling a trailer, it's usually around 9 mpg.
