Default Got my brother into an F150 yesterday

My brother told me he was looking for a newer truck (he has a 2001 Ram 2500 Cummins that is really rusty and has been driving a beat up Buick for a couple years) so I was helping him shop around. Found an absolute gem of a truck at a local dealership- it's a 2017 XLT 5.0 crew cab 6.5' bed, blue jeans metallic, and it is absolutely loaded. Has 302A package (so nav, sliding rear window, heated seats, etc) plus a 36 gallon tank, Line-X, remote start, tailgate step, 20" PVD wheels, with 29K on it, and they were asking $29800 for it which IMO is a steal! I feel pretty good being able to hook him up with that truck and I think it will serve him well for years. Will have to get pics of our trucks together sometime.

2015-2017 don't have widespread issues.

The issues with the 5.0 are for the 2018's and some people on here report issues with their 2019's. 15-17's are just fine.

He told me they were really not willing to negotiate on price (we bought from this dealership once- they don't negotiate, but their pricing is better than most other dealerships in the area). They originally had the truck for $31K but apparently took another $1300 off for their July 4th sale. He also said they offered him a 10 year, 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper extended warranty and he picked that up too- altogether with that and taxes he said he was just a little over that original $31K asking price so he seemed happy with the deal. I'm honestly a little bit jealous, although it's a chrome package truck which I wasn't really looking for it has all the bells and whistles, including a few I kinda wish I had (like the tailgate step and LED box lights). I'm real happy for him though.
