58k on my 2012 5.0, its been fantastic. Have some interior rattles, but that is due to stiff 10 ply tires @ 70 PSI and firm Bilstein shocks. Other than that no issues whatsoever.

Bought my 2012 new, 70K on it now. Just did front brakes, have replaced tires once other than that just fluid changes.

My 2012 FX4 with the appearance package has 75k on it now, and is showing age I don't think it should, but other than that still a smooth running solid truck that turns heads and garners a compliment here and there. I'll preface by saying as a contractor this truck puts in work towing or carting payload for most of those 75k in a fair mix of stop/go and highway driving; plus I am OCD about cleanliness and maintenance.

Brake rotors have been turned twice, multiple windshields, the front suspension has an ominous squeak, paint still shines like new but up close the road debris have taken a toll, the perforated leather seats are cracking and over all not fairing well despite meticulous care, ac probably needs a tune up, and multiple sets of tires the last set of which set off a slight shudder I am trying to pin down, bed extender cracked the bed (odd issue)

At a red light with the music off and the air on low you can't even tell this 3.5 EB is running. I love this engine and the 3.73 gearing. I'd still go for a 2012 as I feel it was a solid model year across the board. Still kick my butt that the 13's got HID, but there is always something newer-better on the horizon.

Thanks guys! I am so pissed at myself. Local Subaru dealership had a gorgeous 2012 in with custom rims and 49,000 miles for $24,000. Guys I know are trustworthy. Waited a day too long and it sold. What kinda prices are you seeing 2012's go for? Looking for a supercrew cab ecoboost that's not white or grey but other than that pretty open to anything.

Also any idea how much difference the 11's and the 12's have?
