Would you buy - USED F150
I am looking to switch back from my 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo 3P 46k miles (worth US $10k) to a F150 in the same range value.
I have seen few f150 and need more opinions, here are the one i have seen.
Units are canadians.

Some have some rust, some are +1-2k$
What will you go with within that budget? Are those great deals?
Can you guys give me your advice about those models, I had in the past a brand new 2011 Sierra 2500HD

Would I buy a used 2004 to 2008 F150? Absolutely! That's all I've bought for my past 3 trucks.
However, I live in the south, so plenty of "southern only" trucks are available for purchase; no rust.
As to engines, I'd search this site and make a determination as to what years you may want to stay away from. I won't get into the pros/cons of certain year engines, as I have no issues with doing repairs on my own. It would depend on your honest mechanical skills as to which years you'd buy or stay away from perhaps, but only you can decide that.

What's crazy is I had a 2012 Veloster, which I loved, but kept giving me mechanical problems. I wanted a new truck but did not want to trade in the car. So I had to do exactly what you are doing now buy a older truck in addition. I purchased an 08 F150 with the V6. It has been rock solid but I do sometimes wish for the power of the V8. Still I would recommend you take the plunge in a second.
