Unhappy Please help !

Gentleman, and Ladies of course -

My Insurance just totaled my gorgeous 2010 4X4 Crew 5.4 6.5 bed at 55K mi. I'm now looking at a 2013 4X4 5.0 6.5 Scab replacement. It's also appears that I'm looking at approx $6K for less of a vehicle. But Hey - I can say I have a 2013 Right !!!

What I would like to know, are the major differences between 2010 and 2013. My 2010 cruised like Caddy & got 21.5 Hwy. I've noticed a 2013 I just drove did not ride or handle as well. Any other info is much appreciated.

Sorry But I'm going to mutipost only because I need the input to decide in the next few days.

Thanks Duff

Are we talking equal trim level? The change in ride comfort might be because of a different tire/rim size and maybe a different wheelbase. 2011+ you get a 5.0 which is a really nice engine and it should get better gas millage than the 5.4. 2013+ you get a nicer center stack layout that looks a bit more modern.

Cars.com shows 11,500 2013 F150s for sale. If you are looking, maybe you should look at many?

When I test drove a stx 4x4 and xlt 4x4. There was a big difference in ride quality. Both trucks were new 2014 models. The xlt rode alot smoother.

XLT 157" WB and 18" rims.

Good site Spiky - Unfortunately looks like people are keeping what I'm looking for.

Finding the 157" is tougher, but certainly possible. I found two I liked last year. The second after totaling the first.

Grab your rims if they are ok before the insurance company hauls it off. That was my mistake, not gutting the truck.
