Friend going to look at this tomorrow

What you guys think about it? Price etc??

Let me know. Thanks in advance

I like it a lot, price doesn't seem bad at all, low mileage and great color combo, he has obo so there's some haggling room!

**Mark Aubele** · 01-26-2013, 12:48 AM

Seems like a ton of money for an 8 year old gas 3/4 ton IMO.

**cLockWise** · 01-26-2013, 03:02 AM

Thats a pretty good price for a 2005 F250 SD with 54,000 miles on it. Trucks have been ridiculous. I think hes up a few thousand on it, I'd probably only pay 13,500 or 14k for it, considering it is an 05, but its honestly a pretty good deal I think.. Its still low on miles and an extended warranty can be bought for it, so its still valuable I think!

Great deal! i would jump all over that if i was home, great price for the mileage for an f-250

I don't see the point of a 3/4 ton with a 5.4.... What a turd.

**Wolfpack Speed** · 01-26-2013, 09:32 AM

X3....My 08 regular cab long bed had the 5.4, by far the worst motor I have ever had in a truck. No power, 8-9 city and 11-12 higway...6 when towing.

stay away

Nice looking truck, but seems like it's a cruiser instead of a hauler.

**Viper_ed** · 01-26-2013, 11:18 AM

Like mentioned, motor is a turn and they had issues with the spark plugs blowing and gaulding to the threads. Be VERY careful if he goes to change the plugs.

**scott5** · 01-26-2013, 11:20 AM

Id pass! Too much money and that 5.4 is definetly a turd

**03 OW SVT** · 01-26-2013, 11:25 AM

The 5.4 i had in my 04 xlt Lariat FX4, was o.k. power wise but was a pig on gas.

**Silverhatch** · 01-26-2013, 11:28 AM

$100 says the guy bought a diesel.

The spark plug issue and possible hung injectors would be enough for me to stay away.

Like many others have said, that 5.4 sucks! Drove an '04 with it. didn't like it at all

**cLockWise** · 01-26-2013, 02:38 PM

Are those 5.4's really bad in those year trucks? I drove numerous ones at work and never seemed to have any issues, granted it was an F150, but I figured that was the same 5.4 they used? The 4.6L I drove was the one I wasn't impressed with, no torque and no power for a truck. Again, I've never owned one, but the ones I had driven never seemed to give me any problems.

**PaxtonShelby** · 01-26-2013, 03:06 PM

My brother-in-law has an '04 F150 Super Crew FX4 with the 5.4 that he bought new and it rides really nice and has held up really well for him. Granted, it is garage kept and really pampered, but so far he has had zero issues with the truck. Seems to have plenty of power. Granted - he isn't towing with it - but the interior is great - the ride is really nice - and it seems to get out of its own way pretty well. I'm sure the gas mileage isn't great, but unless you buy an ecoboost you can't really expect much in the way of fuel economy.

Dont expect much in the way of fuel economy with an ecoboost either!!

The EcoBoost only is rated for 23 HWY. Simplistically, I don't think anyone driving a truck should expect much in fuel economy. Thats why I still don't own one, I drive 65 miles round trip for work. I know thats not a whole lot, but even with my fusion its 50-75/wk for work alone. If I only had to drive 5 miles it wouldn't be a big issue lol.
