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

How much does that service run? I have a 2011 at 129k miles that is ready for all the same...

I’m going to keep my 2014 until it starts rusting. I had it Ziebarted when I bought it, and spray it liberally with fluid film every fall before the snow flies, and wash it WAY more in the winter than the summer. I go to the quarter wash and spend most of my time soaping and hosing off the underside. So I hope I have a few more years, but once the bubbles start it’s gone.

I've had my 2013 for 2 years, and have been debating to trade it in at the end of the year to convert to a diesel. But with the ease of modding on this one, plus how much cheaper it would be for basic maintenance, the idea is still back and forth. There's so much potential with these Coyotes.

15-16k more in just 5-6 years. My truck has been bulletproof so I'll keep it till it drops dead.

I'm in the same situation. I bought my 2014 STX Sport 4x4 new and have taken really good care of it so it still looks and drives like new. I'm so tempted to upgrade to a new F350, but I really love my truck. Plus the $80k price tag is a bit steep. So long as the rust keeps away, I'll keep driving her.

91,000 trouble free miles on my 2011, 5.0.
I changed the trans fluid and will be changing the aniti-freeze, front and rear differential lube this month before duck hunting season.

My '13 fx4 (5.0)is coming up on 20k miles so maybe it's time. Kidding aside, I really feel Ford, however slightly, over-built the later 09-14 models. I mean, myself and literally 10s of thousands of other folks have had absolutely no problems what so ever. And as far as the new ones, there is just no way I would ever spend 60k to replace the truck I already own out-right. I'm sure it's a nice truck, and I wouldn't mind a heated steering wheel, but not for that kind of cash. I'm think there might be a whipple, headers, and a lowering kit in my future.
