Could be good, pull a KBB and NADA on it. Only you can decide if you plan to tow with it, 3:73 gears are not that conducive to much towing, good mileage empty but wouldn't tow much in the hills/mountains. You will get overwhelming amount of opinions on that.
You do know that 3.73 rears is the preferred ratio for towing don't you. and pretty much the lowest gear offered in a off the lot F150. Most come with 3.55s or higher. 3.73 also is the gear for the max tow 150. You can get a 4.10 in that year. IF you could find one. However. the tow rating for the 4.10, is higher than the 3.73 with the same engine. How do I know? I have the Ford towing guide right in front of me.
