Thinking about buying a "newer" truck - any advice?

My understanding is the spark plug threads in the cylinder head strip out, and the head needs to be repaired. Not sure which Ford engine has this problem. The local machine shop repairs them on a regular basis. Do research and stay away from that engine.

my 2002 dodge quadcab has 150.000 miles on it, nothing but tires and batteries, and 2 front wheel bearings at 146,000 . the bearings are a piece of cake to replace----the fords are but ugly, almost as bad as the chevys, but they are good trucks for the most part. my son has a 2010 quadcab, and it rides and drives quite a bit better than mine,and gets a little better gas mileage. jfyi-bob
