Need opinions on 3 trucks
Want to hear thoughts on newer truck, Im trading in a 12 Fx4 3.5L with 3.73 rear.
Ive found a 21 lariat Fx4 5.0 3.31 rear with 46k miles(dealer stated a part was changed in tranny due to hard shifting )
also found a 20 lariat sport 3.5L 3.55 rear 29k Miles
Both are pretty much the same price, just trying to figure out which would feel the same or similar power as I am used to. Of course they are all in different states, cant test drive them all.

Veteran, retired Navy..
The " also found a ‘20 lariat sport 3.5L 3.55 rear 21k Miles " would be my choice, not knowing how it is to be used..

I'd say stick with the 3.5L if you are looking for something similar. The torque curves will feel different between the 5.0 and the 3.5L. I've owned both and prefer the 3.5L (I own the 5.0 now).

I would consider mileage, price, options. In that order.
where does the one with the lowest mileage stack up in price? Is it missing any options at you would regret not having?
the 21 would be out of the running for me only because of mileage. I have no problem with used vehicles, but try to always keep them around 30k max miles. Current truck had 32k, and that is about my limit these days.

bed floor is rusting away, looked at bed replacement but they want 6k. But after hearing all the recalls in the 21+ and cam phasers in last gen, I may just keep it until their isnt anything left in the bed. 107k miles and no issues other than the bed and a rear diff leak now.
