what do you guys think of this truck?
Its 2010 xlt 4.6 3v, and in great shape inside and out. Original owner had whole underneath rhino lined and i by the looks took very good care of it. Downside is it has 75k miles but when i drove it i couldnt tell. I have had 2 4.6's before and loved them just alil down on power but this 3v def had enough power. Im getting a good deal on trade in so numbers are where i want them just maybe you guys can give me opinions. I really like this truck..

Looks like it is in good shape. However, can't you buy a 4x4 XLT extended cab brand new for about 4-5 grand more. I understand that might be out of budget for some, however 75k miles is not exactly low miles. I have a daily driver 2010 Lariat 4x4 screw and it only has 35k miles. Do what is best for your wallet i guess

I feel for 22 grand or so I could get a lower mileage vehicle. defiantly shop around. however since you plan on upgrading anyway, that truck would be a good truck for the meantime. the 4.6 3v are great motors. no slouch's on power and got a couple at work with over 100 thousand miles with no problems .

I've never bought from them, but see a lot of their license plate frames around, and they always have nice vehicles. Have never heard anything good or bad. The price may be a little high, but I've seen a lot worse on here. It does look to be in great shape.....bottom line----if you like the deal and it seems to drive ok, 75000 miles is a little high, but it should go 150k+ with normal maintenance, go for it. Everyone's situation is different. If you want to compare, go up the street to Genesee Valley Ford and see what a comparable new one would be, last I knew they had a bunch of 2012's left over. Good Luck!

Yea simmons rockwell has a left over xlt for 27999 but chris at pioneer give tons more on trade. Simmons will only give me 21k for my truck and he is gonna give me $27500. So they make it impossible to buy new for me. I have traded my last to trucks to chris at pioneer for this truck i have now and my wifes fusion. And might trade that for 2012 focus he has. He just treats me good everytime. I highly recommend pioneer trucks

O and if i bought it by the time late 2014 came around and i upgraded i would owe around 15k on it so i hope it would be worth close to that. Maybe owe alil less if everything goes as planned.

I'd say keep looking around for something with lower mileage. I got my 2011 XLT used with 7,000 miles for $21,500 last January. But then again I'm in texas, and that was all cash. No idea where you are.

Upstate ny. And is your truck 2wdto or 4wd? Cuz i dont think i have seen even base model 2011 4wd trucks go for even close to that cheap. Maybe $24-26k
