its a checy not a ford but i feel sure it had some front end parts replaced but he artice was about engine and thus was left out of the "GM Vehicle Inquiry System" summary printout. That is really a great feat though i hope it gets to see 1,000,000 some day!

I think in the hot shot business of towing camp trailers you cannot have a vehicle over 5 years old, what their reasoning behind it is? I don't know

Oilfield/gas patch is like that too. No trucks older than 4 years old allowed on the lease, as far as I can remember.
