Also on the V-10 X, depending on what you are towing you may need to find one with 4.30 gears. Not just for towing because it drives so much better with them.
With 3.73 gears and nothing else it will do 15 on the highway at 65. Towing with them With a 9k lb trailer will get you 6mpg. When I went to 4.30's my highway mileage dropped to 14.2 avg. and towing mileage jumped to the upper 6's. And when I installed a 5 star tune and y pipe mod I went to 7 towing.
Another thing to look out for is broken exhaust manifold bolts. If they haven't been done or are leaking expect a $1k repair as they are stubborn to remove and a major pain if there are more than 1 or 2 on each side.
Just shop around real good. There are plenty to choose from. But for $6k your aren't going to find a very clean well cared for X. Unless you stumble across the one person that doesn't know what they are truly or is just needing to unload it fast.
