97' F150..any thoughts???
Hey, I'm about to purchase a 1997 F150 SuperCab,
5-speed, 4.2V6. Anyone care to comment. I realize
the V* is the way to go, but....The V6 is what it
has..
Thanks...

From personal experience, the 4.6l V8 was a real joke when it came to any kind of power, even unloaded and especially on the highway going up grades or passing slower vehicles. I can just imagine the lack of power from the 4.2l, especially in a Supercab with as heavy as it is. I have heard all the moaning from 4.2l owners on www.f150online.com.
Take the advice, if you are set on a Ford and want the Supercab especially, get the 5.4l. You will be much happier, its not much more expensive and you will greatly recoup the extra cost when you go to sell it or trade it off, whichever it may be.
Good luck.
Zbad thinks that if you arent buying a chevy or GM you have a screw loose. Well don't listen to the blowhard.......Ford is the way to go. Zbad will tell you of the superior engines with chevy...but if you don't have a quality truck to put those "so-called" superior engines in.....guess it doesn't matter....does it??????
It's a fine truck. If you can only afford it--then don't sweat it. Yes, the V-8s are nice but if you are looking at a used 97 then I assume that you have a deal before you.
Just don't compare it to the MONSTER CHEVY POWER OF ALL TIME OF TRUCK-MASTER ZBAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Z--just poking fun! LOL!
I don't start the slams and fights, but it sure does get fun to participate once they are started!
I have the info I was talking about earlier: Post 137/ Topic 863
Brent--where are you from?
Brent, did you catch my bowhunter discussion with Tom Dunkel??
Sorry. I may have been confusing you were somebody else in my head. There are so many Z71s with names here at this site. I thought that you were someone i knew with a different site-name.
