    I don't know what your BMW is but that is a ton of miles on a v-10. That truck is not worth very much at all. It will also suck down more gass than you can shake a stick at.

    What year and model is your BMW? Personally, as person who owns a Beemer and despises Ford, I'd say no. But if it's a good looking and running truck it might be worth it, depending on if you want a truck...

    I would say way too many miles on that Ford for a decent trade...

    Take it from a former Ford tech
    Stay away from the V10!!!!!!
    That many miles they have issues
    If the plugs havent been changed for a while be prepared for a head job!!!
    there known to strip out-helicoiling works for a bit but they allways loosen up
    Get a 7.3 deisel instead-best motor Ford came out with in a truck!

    Yeah, I'd wait it out and get something with a lot less miles on it. I sold my 2000 Durango about a year ago with 135K on it, and that was about decent as far as mileage for the age- if you factor in 10K/year for the average person.

    That is not a good deal for a V-10. If it were the powerstroke, I would tell you yes. Do not do the deal.
