Hi,
I just bought a 2007 STX super cab 4x4 with a 4.6 v8, automatic tranny. Manual door locks and windows. I plan to maintain the truck according to the owners manual and not abuse it. No towing or heavy lifting.
What do you think will be the likely equipment failures during the first 7 years/100,000 miles? I'm guessing A/C compressor, exhaust manifold, and electronic 4x4 system.
Thanks!

If its built like my 95, plan on tires, a belt or maybe 2, and a few lightbulbs, oh and dont forget the wiper blades. That is all I ever have done to my ol' 95 f150 until 119k, lost the battery and the starter after 13 years of service.. Unlike the previous guy, the only tranny out of ford/dodge/chevy to fail me was a dodge at 37k, 48k, and again at 67k on the same truck.
