I have bought one recently - 2005, same description except 2.5L - one owner, 8 mths old, 19000km as new condition. I paid 360000B.

I wanted a Toyota but this deal seemed good, so I went with it. The open cab and 2+ years manufacturer's warranty remaining were bonuses.

My reactions? Well it is basic in some areas - no bells and whistles. My major criticism is that the second gear is mismatched - it is too high to be of much use, so that on a VERY steep climb - and I have a long one on a major road near where I live - I have to get down into first gear to negotiate it - other pickups do it in second gear. I think a slight underpower issue also contibutes here.

Overall though I am very pleased. It is comfortable and drives mostly like a car.

Don't believe the spiel on fuel comsumption though - not 15 - think of 10-11 km per l.

4WD right mijan? I think 400K is too expensive. Just having a browse around used car sites and almost every one is under 400K.... I'd say 350 good deal for you, 400 good deal for him....

I don't think Ford had 3l engines in 2004. Check that again. If it's the seller who mentioned it - beware.
