Before the F-150, I had a Silverado 1500 w/a 350...motor went to sh!t and had to replace at 150,000...the F-150 w/a 5.4 litre has 240,000, uses some oil (about a qt between changes), but otherwise runs great...I'd run it back down to Franco's inna heartbeat...
My bet is the next post will be a guy who can swap Ford for Chevy w/the same story...it's a crap-shoot either way...you might wanna buy a 3 yr warranty for whatever you get... As far as 2WD, I've pulled several 24'ers out w/my 2WD...but it's been on good ramps and not overly steep or slick...so that's gonna depend on what kinda ramps you have to deal with on a regular basis...you'll definately save $$ on initial purchase and fuel costs w/2WD... I honestly don't believe anybody can predict a Ford or a Chevy is gonna last longer than the other...

I have a 2002 1500 I bought it in 2005 with 60k for miles, now has 175,000 and runs like a dream! My brother has a 2500 with 215000 and his also is going strong.
So yes 200 should be easy! 2x vs 4x I say if you can get a posie in it you would be fine other wised stay with 4x4 its a dream on the ramp! Chevy vs Ford there is always going to be some for each, me its Chevy.

Reel, you nailed it that one, that 03 E150 with the 4.6 is the worst vehicle for the miles it had on it I've ever owned. That being said, I'm picking up the replacemnt for it Wednesday, its a 99 E350 with a 7.3 diesel, its got 300,000, I figure the rings have just about seated in this motor
