Note: I plan to keep my vehicle for 10-15 years. I never had a new vehicle and I have been wanting a F-150, since 2016. Plan to put half down and finance rest for 60 months.

 

I would do plan B.

 

Plan B with the trailer tech package.

 

As long as you plan to keep it, buy the most truck you can afford. Enjoy.

 

Affording it isn't a problem, my current ride is a 2005 Acura MDX and my wife wants me to get a new vehicle. Last March I took a new position and I told myself if I got the job, I would finally buy a truck. I have always liked getting a good value on something, though used trucks are expensive/hold their value and the 2021 have a lot of new features. Though when it comes to spending money on a vehicle that happens to also be a toy, means I will have less of a budget to buy other toys, like a bigger boat. My wife knows I am getting new and she knows the trucks are expensive, though she doesn't know how expensive this one is LOL.

 

Do you not like the style of the PVD wheels? I like chrome PVD wheels, but am not digging the style they are using in 2021.

 

I just heard not so great things about them peeling. Shinny things show scratches easier. Also I really like the look of the painted pockets.

 

Check and see how much more the Max tow package is as well. It should automatically change the wheels to the ones you want as well as add a few other items. The max tow package is actually a really good value in a lot of cases

 

Thanks, I really like the double checking and suggestions.

For the max tow, I would normally agree with this, though for the power boost motor, you already get the 3.73 e-locker and you are limited to a 30gal tank that can't be upgraded to the 36gal. When I was looking at Ecoboost this was on my list. Though they raised the price from $645 on the 23rd and there is a delay for vehicles equipped with maxtow. Lastly as powerboost has pretty low payload, I don't think I could ever take advantage of the added tow rating.

 

If you are keeping it that long, get the 502.
