I wouldn't own a 97-2000 (or 2002?) Ford with the 4.2 V6 unless its been rebuilt. Those years have a nasty habit of blowing head gaskets and still don't get much for fuel mileage. Ford has spent a lot of money denying the problems with these engines. The 300 I6 (4.9L) was too long for the new (in 97) body style and was having problems meeting the increasingly strict emissions standards. One problem the Ford F150 with a 300 I6 has is the manual 5 speed, it's a Mazda designed (and built?) transmission that has a tendency to fail. The construction company I work at had seven 1996 F150s with 5 speeds, three had the transmissions replaced by 90K. These pickups never saw much towing or hauling but were driven pretty hard (hired hands driving someone else's vehicle). I know there's a lot of others with "0" problems but ask any trannie shop and they'll just smile.
