What area do you live in? I did a quick auto trader search for 2013-14 with 4x4. Price max of 18k and I found 7 v6s and 5 v8s. 50 mile radius in metro Atlanta area.


if it’s the fx4 that’s getting you, I’d much rather get a lower trim v8 over the eco boost for the 2010-2014 models. The nice heated leather seats aren’t going anywhere if the eco boost is always in the shop.

 

you must be such a joy to be around

hahahaha what a let down 22 years later

i have been seeing a lot of lower trim 2015s around. They are tempting.

Southern CA for the next year and a half or so before orders are up. Then who knows. I’ve been seeing a ton in Arizona for a few thousand less but do you know if all F150s are 50 state emissions? Would hate you buy it and not be able to register it in CA lol

 

Now that's the dumbest thing you've ever posted here.

 

How dare I intend to get a truck that will take me to and from work in relative comfort. Not my fault range control mandates a 4x4 on most of the areas of Pendleton....

 

There's a 2015 FX4 King Ranch with 285k miles for $17k in NorCal right now. 1 Owner, cleanest interior I've ever seen. SO. Tempting.

 

 

I **** you not, 1 owner, cleanest used interior I've ever seen.

 

Perhaps you are finding my 3.5's available becuase they sell more than the V8 counterpart?
I don't know the sales numbers but makes sense, logically.

Also, just because there are 3.5's out and about doesn't mean that truck wasn't traded for another 3.5. Traders may want new year.


I'm not sure how I feel about a person looking to 'budget buy' a comfortable vehicle with 235,000 miles on it that too only 5 years to accumulate.
The seller has definitely marked down due to miles at least.
That cheap vehicle seems prone to requiring a lot of maintenance items. You can make any vehicle look clean.

 

Yeah I wonder if the V8's are being saved longer by their owners or if there were just that many more 3.5's sold.

Haha yeah I wouldn't toss $17k at a truck with 285,000 miles haha

 

Back when I was looking for trucks towards the end of 2016 I ran into the same issue. 2015/16's were out of my budget, and I HATE the look of the fake wood trim in the Lariats. Having dual climate control was a "need" for this truck, and I prefer colored bumpers over chrome, which put me in an FX4. Every FX4 I looked at had the 3.5eb, at the time I only saw a couple 5.0's within 3 hours of me, and they were all much higher mileage than I was wanting.

So I went with the 3.5. It had 33k miles at the time, I'm at 90k right now and it still runs great. I don't really consider that high mileage, but I'm not planning on unloading my so called "unreliable" ecoboost for anything else, my plan is to run this to 200,000 miles before I sell it.
