Over 170k, has a tow package and used for over a decade in a rust-belt state??? You should have passed on this truck for $2k my friend. I picked up an '03 4.4 Spt Pkg one owner, full service history, PPIed, Fla delivered/driven, dealer trade in, 90 day p'train warranty and looks new for under $13k over 2 yrs ago.

You will soon find that this X is a money pit. You have some issues behind that front bumper impact that caused the hood damage too.

I can't imagine how many unqualified "chimps with tools" have done repairs on a 10 yr old vehicle with those miles and in that condition. All that stuff doesn't fail at the same time, this X is in that condition due to the owner having a "don't give a crap" attitude about vehicle repair/maintenance. Some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
