I'm looking at a 2012 f150, crewcab lariat. 5.0L. 4x4. It's a great looking truck, but it has 115,xxx miles on it. Is the 5.0 a good enough engine that it will last me another 5 or 6 years? I've never bought one with over 100,xxx on it and I don't know much about the 5.0. Help me out guys. Thank you.

How many miles do you drive a year?

Your financing for 5 years so if you are trying to get 100,000 miles from a truck you have no history on, you might be better off dropping down to a XLT with half the mileage.

I went from a Lariat to an XLT and don't miss any of the lariat options which cost an extra $5-$6,000.

Roughly 25,000 a year. In the past 6 months, I have put nearly 11,000 on my current truck.

I would not want to be making 2 more years of payments on a truck with 175,000 miles and no warranty.

I understand you like the Lariat trim, but don't risk so much obtaining it.

Find a good deal on a lower trim truck and then maybe 2-3 years down the road you'll be in a better position to work up to a Lariat with 35-50k miles.

IMO, that's too many miles for a 3 year old truck. I'd shop around and find something with less miles.

The original owner was putting 35-40k/yr and probably got rid of it before the value plummeted (around 150k). If the price is right then go for it.
