    I can relate, I just bought my '07 F150 FX4 earlier this year, also 
lightly-used and a lot cheaper than a new one.  It's pretty fancy
( leather, console shifter, power slider and everything else ) but still 
has a 9300 pound rating.

tow vehicle, the Trailer Life Towing Guides are a priceless resource.

    Will keep you from doing something silly, like buying an F250 with the 
wrong axle, and getting 1,000 pound lower rating than an F150.
