Personally, I would keep looking but that's me. What are you using the truck for besides driving?

The 4.6 in there will be SLOW. The 5.4 is even a gutless motor for a truck. Also, IIRC those beds are very narrow.

It will be just driving and the occasional hauling of plants and small things. No towing.

I've driven a lot of F150's (worked @ the Auto Auction in college). The 4.6L platform was the one I was least impressed with. I really felt it struggle when I was driving it up the Summit. The power just wasn't there and I felt it was just lacking some balls to say the least.. The 5.4L was a little bit better. A lot of people dog those Triton motors, but I actually really liked the one I brought back from State College, PA. I drove it for a few hours, and it ran really good. Had some decent power to it. I also drove a 5.4L F150 and used to tow stuff for one of my other jobs during the summer, and it towed smaller trailers with ease.
Id say that 18k price tag is a little steep for that truck and I'd pass on it if I were you. I think there is a better deal out there. Valley Honda has a lot of jagoffs. I didn't like dealing with them when I worked at the Auction. They were quite, "different" towards us.

Have they fixed their issues with the wheel bearings? I remember they were going bad every 20,000 miles :\
