I don't know if this thread is in regards to trading in fairly new Ford trucks... In my case I traded in a 2010 Nissan Frontier. The Frontier just got too small too fast and when I decided to look into it, it just happened to be perfect timing. All the estimates still had the trade-in value of my Frontier right around what I paid for it (not counting my previous trade in) and the 2011 F150s were being discounted due to end of year. If I were to have made this deal any earlier or much later, I don't think I would have gotten the deal that I did.
With that said, I plan to keep my new F150 for at least 6yrs (extended warranty), but hopefully 8-10.

Traded in a 2010 Ford Ranger Super Cab. I was outgrowing it quickly and had the bug to get a little bit more room. We stopped by the dealership and they were closing out some 2011s on the lot. 2010 4.0 to 2011 EcoBoost was a significant upgrade. Super cab ranger with jump seats to death valley huge fullsize seats and legroom galore was a significant upgrade.
The dealer nearly paid off my truck(~1500 upside down on it) but we got ~12k off MSRP. It seemed logical and the Ranger value is going to drop much more quickly than an F150 value in the coming yers.

Bought my 10 SC FX4 5.4 lux last year for $35,000, MSRP was $44,544. Traded it in on my 11 SC FX4 5.0 lux where they gave me $30,567 for my 10. Out the door for the 11 with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty was $39,000. I might keep this one 
untill the 10/100,000 are up. I drove a new truck (with both feet 
)for 14 months for about $315 a month.

2010 needed tires and ford had 0% financing on the 2011 and 2010 had 4.2% so i traded for 12 dollars a month for a truck that stickered for 6k more. I got about 7500 off window for both trucks new and they gave me 3k less for 2010 than what i paid.
