OOPS! Sorry thinking about it later, I realized that he was looking at a 96 not the newer generation model that was released in 96/97. My bad, The Eddie Bauer edition should be a dead give away that it was the older boxy style.
The 97 F150 (newer style I believe) Had side exhaust that was mounted before the rear wheel. THis caused some fairly severe corrosion on the wheels. This was fixed by moving the exhaust behind the rear wheel in later models and I believe was repaired under warranty by most dealers.
Came with a 302 or 351 (Eddie Bauer I think had the 351) Lots of goodies but compared to the newer design is quite old feeling. If you don't mind that and wnat more of a truck like truck that's for you.
