I had a Lincoln truck I had so much in to and to this day I just wish I would have kept it over my Limited... Keep it. If it runs good why not,still looks good. Drop some money into it and you will be happy again!

And they have significant improvements in powertrain and drivetrain engineering. However, they are more complicated with direct injection and other mechanical parts so their repair costs will more than likely be more than what we would pay.
Personally I like the look of our generation more than the 09+ models, but I really like the thought of a 6-speed tranny and the Ecoboost motor. But your truck looks fantastic and I think it would be a shame to let her go. I like to hang onto my vehicles until they are driven into the ground.

According to Ford Inside News, there'll be a mild update in '14. I can't imagine how much more they can improve, they are already awesome trucks. With the exception of a 4-speed gearbox and cam phaser issues, our 04-08 generation F-150s were already ahead of their time. So you can imagine how the '09+ generation is even better. I think the 6.2 models will increase power with the possibility of different multi-valve heads and a minor increase in power for both the Coyote and Ecoboost but all of that is speculation.
