I am looking at getting a new ride. I want a supercrew and am leaning towards an fx4. If I can swing the $$ should I get a 2009 or 2010 with more miles or am I better off trying to find a lower mileage 2007-2008? Also sterling gray or white?
Thanks
Sorry I reposted in correct area

I'd scrape up the extra funds for a 2010 with the 5.4L. Last year of the 5.4, reliable as heck. Also, 09-10 has the 6 speed which makes a huge difference with driveability and fuel economy. Some of the 09 trucks had issues with the trans and I typically stay away from any first model year vehicles. I made an exception with the Ecoboost but waited for the very last day in the fall of 2011 to order it. I'd go with white but I'm biased.

Thanks! I drove a 2010 fx4 tonight and really liked it. A bit overpriced but now I know what I like and will look for a better price
