Decided to keep my 2011 F150 V8 5.0L
Normally trade at this point. But just like the truck too much bought new from Bob Sight Ford in 2011.
As such, had the 100,000 maintenance schedule this week. I did some, dealership I bought it from did most.
Four Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires
Four OEM shocks
Brakes front and rear with rotor turn
Transmission, front axle, rear axle, transfer case fluid change
Radiator fluid change
Battery
Fuel injection service
Spark plugs
Wheel alignment
Replace accessory and AC belts
Air filter

Many highway tires with better performance than SR-A. For example, Bridgestone Alenza is about $30/tire less, and a much better tire.

I have the Alenzas on my 2013 that came on it. By far the best OEM tire I have ever owned. They have about 38k on them now and I think I can get at least another 20-25 out of them.

Same deal here, bought new in Dec of 12. Put close to a 100K miles on it and the truck has been great. Don't see the point in ditching it for a new one when I've had such little issue with it. I would normally be looking to replace at this point as well, every time I drive it that itch goes away.

I'm in. 2011 XLT Scab 4x4 5.0 just turned 119,000 mi. Plugs and boots at 98k. Third set of tires, front pads and rotors replaced twice, rears once. Shocks and struts about 85k. 1 reverse sensor, 1 tail light bulb, 1 license plate light bulb, 2 sets of wipers.
Driver's seat shows a little bolster wear, no rips or tears. Small dent over left door handle, three scuffs on tailgate. Uses a quart of oil at about 7k on IOLM 10k oil changes.
Oh, and it's paid for! I'm shooting for 200k and then I'll have to make a decision.

I hear you. My 2012 with app 60k miles still drives and looks like new. Doesn't hurt that I still have another 1-1/2 years of free service and extended warranty.
I have two friends that purchased 16-17's. Eco and 5.0. Besides the little bit of visual change, there's not much difference. Definitely not worth an extra $30-40,000 upgrade.

Feel the same. Paid off my 13' back in Feb. but I've got a real hankering for a new truck but with 83K on the truck, no issues and no payment I can't come up with a good reason for a new one. Besides, I really like this truck and it's the most basic truck I've owned in years (XLT vs 2 SD KR's 11' and 13').
Leveled it today with a front only 2" AS kit.
