I got a very well cared for 2005 about a year ago. 99,*** miles on it (somewhere between 300 and 600). Just needed a few things. It is a southern vehicle, never in any heavy salt areas, so no rust! 4x4 XLT. Has the two individual center seats instead of a bench, loaded! No sunroof, but don't know if one was offered that year (and I don't care for one!). Main issue is it was giving a code for multiple misfires, almost like a spark knock when pulling hard. I knew that was the spark plugs. Cost me $600 to have those changed locally (dealer wanted more). Driver's heated seat inop, but not concerned about that. Have the dreaded front AC door flop... replaced it myself with a genuine Ford part, but STILL does it... guess I got a bad blend door motor?? Definitely the replaced part doing the same thing. The trans blew a snap ring only a few months after I got it, so $3500 for a trans rebuild. I paid $8K for it, "all in". Dealer who had it was asking $8500, I made the offer of $8K all taxes and fees included, and he took it. Was looking for a 2010 or so, but this thing looked so good in the photos I had to go see it. Looked much better than most of the 2008-2010 models I'd been looking at with 150-180K on them, with asking prices in the $9-12K range! I'm satisfied with the purchase even after the trans rebuild. Towing didn't kill the trans, shop said the failed snap ring is relatively common.
I bought this to tow my camper, not a daily driver. Drive it at least every six weeks just for upkeep, take camper out 2-3 times a year. Considered a motor home, but this is more versatile and we have room if we want to go out with a group of friends or pick up something large we don't want in the back of a truck. I have a work truck (home repairs) and my wife has a 2013 Escape.
