Nice truck! Wonder what it'll go for? I'll guess $6k. Would be higher w/a 5.8L.

"Would be higher w/a 5.8L."

Because the 5.8 is underpowered?

The 5.0L that it has isn't strong on torque, and the 5.8L is better. So if you want to do much towing of anything more than a really light trailer the 5.0L might prove to be a problem.

In addition, it has the AOD, which also limits its towing capacity.

So this would be a good "running around" truck. It'll get good MPG for a truck of the age. But it isn't set up for towing very much.
