Hello to all I am currently the owner of a 2003 f150 super crew lariat. I love my truck it serves its purpose perfectly but lately it’s been showing it’s age which has led me to look for something a little newer. I’ve been looking for the same truck but in the 2015 to 2019 range
it has to be a super crew v8 preferably a king ranch with the 3.73 locking diff. Do any of you have suggestions on what year has less issues, is the 10 speed reliable?
Thank you In Advance for any and all help

 

I recently purchased a 2017 xlt, 5.0L, 3.73 and its amazing. I have had no issues at all, the power is incredible. I went from a 2002 to this and its night and day difference. I went with a 2017 because I believe they changed things a bit for the 2018's and have had a few problems with oil consumption etc

 

seems like 17-19 5.0 could have a oil burning issue. other than that no complaints i have read

 

First off thank you for your input I’ve begun looking for a 15-17 model now.
ive found a 17 lariat loaded with everything and anything with 17k on the odometer for $40k kinda think it’s high for an almost 4 year truck.
for now I’m gonna keep my eye on it as my goal is to shop around end of year as it coincides with end of quarter and most salesman will want to meek their sales quotas

 

I had a'17 5.0 4x4 with 3.73's for 4 years/30Kmiles and it was a great truck. The only shortcoming was the fuel mileage when towing a heavy trailer. I traded it in at Long McAuthor Ford in Salina, KS a couple of weeks ago and they may still have it on the lot. $28K was the trade value.

 

The oil consumption started with the 18's
