STX. Buy it now while rebates are aplenty. You should be able to easily nail $5800 in rebates, I just did. STX looks considerably better IMHBAO.

To the OP, if I was using my vehicle for work I would look at a lease and see if I could write it off on my taxes.

How does the lease work if I know for sure I will be going over on miles?

And

No SXM built in. I've read the posts on how to fix it, just seems stupid to not have it when you already place the intenna on the truck and it comes with sync3.
Sirius is an option on the STX, mine has it. Took some work to locate one with it, but they're out there

We keep our trucks on the street at work but I could see how it would be annoying scratching up your rims. 20s kinda pointless if you get off the road much.
I've heard of some dealers switching the wheels out.I prefer 17's myself if I can get them. The way I want an F150 comes speced out with 18s or 20's, so I'll likely end up with 18's.

I do not personally, but I know some people do write their milage/vehicle off for tax purposes. Sounds like you're ahead of the game if you talked to you tax guy, but it might be worth it to talk to another tax accountant.

Some dealers offer higher milage leases but you pay for it.
