Default What should I know before buying a 2017 Ford F-150?

From Plaza Ford they have 2017 models for 22,000 and one for 20,000

They have a 2.7 and a 3.5 with electronic trans with tow...

Is there something I should know before deciding to buy this 2017 model and also the 2.7 vs 3.5 ?

Also do they have a timing chain?

I have a 2000 ford ranger 4 cylinder with 8 freakin spark plugs and the timing belt broke leaving me stranded in middle of road.
It has 220,000 miles and its acting crazy and now I spotted anti freeze leaking in my oil, I gave up on trying to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the site..

What truck are you considering,, STD cab, super, crew,, 2x4, 4x4 etc. Towing?
Both 6's perform well, but the the 3.5 I think was 40hp more than the 2.7. Son in law bought a 17 crew when they first came out, been doing well

Im thinking about the 2017 F 150 3.5 2x4 with electric windows for 22,000

I drove one tonight, it drives real smooth. I looked under the hood and was like "yikes" how am I going to climb in there to do any future maintenance
