If you don’t mind me asking, about how much was it? I’m looking for the exact same thing and was just wondering what range I’ll be at

Agreed - it has been a volatile year when it comes to vehicle purchasing, and I hope for other buys sake it levels off sooner rather than later!

That Tundra is nice but how is that fuel mileage treating you going from 2.7 to 5.7?

did same but got 3.5

Is the oil consumption issue solved on the new 5.0 . Also wish ford would offer a manual trans option. I miss a manual full size truck !!!

Enjoy! Great truck!

I just bought a 2021 STX XL yesterday and it’s got the full center console. I think at my dealership I bought from with the options it had it was $42k total

I recently purchased a stx with center console, column shift. Wasn't easy to find...

Get alpharex they look awesome and reliable

XLT 302A is a great trim, beautiful truck!

Awesome! Its a great place to live and work!

Agreed - they are a great value and perfect mix of features for most. Also a great all-around work truck! The refreshed 2024 F150's are starting to hit dealer lots, it will be interesting to see how those are optioned from the factory and how quickly they sell.

Thanks for the feedback Terrel, that was my observation also!

How’s the rust that came with your new truck underneath? I bet you didn’t even look wanna be truck guys sorry to say

@@KyleRattay ok

There’s no way I would try and tow that much with a half ton pickup, I don’t care what the “specs” say. Unless you bought a stripped down two wheel drive regular cab, it’s not rated for that much. A super extra 4WD is only rated for around 8000. And it’s not just about how much weight it can pull, you also have to be able to stop and corner with a load. If I needed that much towing, I would definitely go F250 or higher.

Close! Between Daytona Beach and Orlando, about 35 minutes from both.

@@StarkeyProducts That's kind of a coincidence. Plan on looking for a home in Flagler County this year or early next.

Thanks - To me it is like primer that has been clear coated. Not sure how else to describe it, but I like it!

That is a score in this economy

I paid the same for my '19 crew 4x4 stx! Mine was brand new, with about 9 grand in rebates/discounts. Those days are over.

Have you ever had Katskin in the past?

Just got a 2022 stx 4x4 and man its alot of truck at the price for a new truck. Checked out gm and dodge at the same price range of pick-up and they didnt compare

How much mileage it's been used?

@@theband6432 37k

@@theband6432 now it’s at 41k

That's a great question - if I don't need the jump seat in the middle, I usually have the arm rest/ seat back down and there is a rectangular form molded in next to the cup holder that makes a good spot. If I have a rider next to me, I usually throw it up on the dash. This is because if I place it in the tray below the center of the dash, sometimes positioning interferes with my cell signal. There is no great option when you have a rider using that middle seat.

Enjoy! The 3.5 is fun to drive

what's you opinion on the 3.5L reliability ?

@@jetboy770371 my coworkee has the 2012 3.5 with 240,000 miles and has no issues. He owns a farm 4 hours from his fulltime work and travels there every weekend.

@@jetboy770371 I don't have a strong opinion or much personal experience but I have heard some stories of 200k+ mileage like @Szulc mentioned. The F150 Nation Facebook page has had a few posts with some really high mileage 3.5's and varying issues. That said I have a 2018 Expedition with the 3.5 and about 50,000k miles. It has already had the cam phasers replaced at 36k miles. I think it has the turbo rattle issue now, not sure. Supposedly that is purely annoying but not mechanically important. I knew someone that had 140k on their Ecoboost and he replaced some of the rubber intercooler hoses because they were getting weak around 100k, might be good preventative maintenance.

@@12NFLtitles I've seen these types of mileage numbers reported on some of the F150 groups, very interesting.

Thanks...If you can wait, I think that is definitely the way to go!

Hey bro there’s some already for 39k brand new out the door

@@morningstarr3824 For the 3.3L V6 NA 2WD no doubt, but a 5.0L with 4WD no way! If you find one, post a link because people watching this video would love to grab that deal.

@@StarkeyProducts exactly

I got my 2020 STX 4x4 for $37k about a month ago so if you wait later in the year that's definitely possible

That is the integrated trailer brake controller.

Also do you know your payload capacity?

Nothing yet, but I've only got 800 miles on it so too early to tell.

@@thankyou9085 Payload Capacity on sticker is 1,914lb. GVWR is 7,050lb.

The oil consumption issue has been fixed. It was determined that it was caused by improper break-in by idiot owners.

@@tedschmitt178 .. Improper break in, that's ridiculous. Build a "Ford Tough" truck but blame an engine issue on the owners, that's nice.

Only forward and backward

To get the vents you have to have the center console. Otherwise, there are 2 vents below each front seat that supply air to rear seats.

@@StarkeyProducts Thanks for the reply. Do the under the seat vents produce much heat/ac?

No problem at all! They seem to work just fine although I only have about 600 miles on the truck. Went on a 2 hour car ride a few days ago and I asked the kids a couple times, no complaints. Previously I had a 2018 with the center console vents and IMO they didn't work any better or worse. I think there is enough circulation in the cab that it won't matter either way.

@@StarkeyProducts Thanks man appreciate the feedback

The lots here in Central FL are still sparse...about half the vehicles you would normally see on the lot (pre-covid).

2026 this will be worth $27,000-$33,000 my guess with 75-100k miles

Thanks for the feedback, totally agree it’s definitely a good all around truck. Agree with you on the 5kish, they still make money for sure. But there does (at least in our area) seem to be a supply/ demand issue. That will probably work itself out in the next few months. I got a line on several trucks that sold within a few days of hitting the lots. Of course the dealers love that environment!

@@StarkeyProducts 👍

No he didn't. $5K?? 😂😂....I am quite knowledgeable about the car business and the lower trims don't have that kind of profit.

@@ryansheard8092 It’s simple math for what he stated the MSRP was with what dealers cost. It is around 5k -/+.

@@Mill72 you stated he left $5K more on the table. I believe he said he got around $2K off from the dealer. The dealer doesn't have $7K below MSRP...I promise you.

This one has the 36 gallon tank 👍

Not yet, but others have expressed concern about this. I will try to do an update in 5-6 months.

Was that from sitting in those lots for months?

I believe it, there is a weird supply and demand issue taking place. Or at least there was when I bought this truck 6 weeks ago. At the time they would get a 2021 truck on the lot and it would be sold within 3-4 days. Not sure if that is still the case 2 months later or not.

I believe you. I searched 200 miles around me and ended up getting the 2020 stx for 35k otd.it was the last one on the lot and a courtesy vehicle

No kidding! I really didn't see it persisting this long.

Yes sir I’ve seen some for 36k

@@morningstarr3824 50k stx no way you can buy an xlt for that much fully loaded some dealers just take ppls money and thats wrong also buyers need to look arround

For the NA V6 3.3L and 2WD that's pretty typical here in FL, but for a 5.0L with 4WD like in the video not even close. If you can find an advertised price post it here, there are a lot of people watching this that are interested.

@@StarkeyProducts will do give me 5 mins

@@StarkeyProducts westway ford stock #mfa58816 xlt for 41k

Hey Mike - it came that way, how strange that your truck doesn't have it. Supply issue maybe?

@@StarkeyProducts Hmm. I will have to look closely next time. Just got it and haven’t really explored in detail. Lol.

Its a great color!

Nothing yet, I'll post an update in a few months.

Andrew I respectfully disagree. Ford reuses so many components from the previous model, there is no way this truck is 90% original to 2021. Maybe cosmetically, but most of the componentry they are using is recycled from 2020 or other Ford platforms.

They haven’t changed the body style or interior since 2014 in a tundra. There’s a reason they’re cheaper

I needed the extra seat so I wanted the jump seat, but like you would definitely not choose it if I had the option! The 5.0 is reliable, easy to maintain, and actually, the fuel mileage isn't that much worse than the Ecoboost. I have had a few Ecoboost trucks and as soon as you lean into the pedal, the mileage drops pretty fast. Plus, the general sentiment when this question comes up within F150 owners groups is that the 5.0 is more reliable and cheaper to maintain long term over the Ecoboost platform. All that said, I would have taken an Ecoboost in a heartbeat for our R&D truck, but beggars can't be choosers with current inventory levels!

Still a great truck, now it has about 4000 miles on it. No issues so far!

Ayyyyyyyeeee!!!! I love it!!!!

Its amazing how much of a difference a 5-6 months will make - when we purchased, there was a limited supply and there were no discounts. Now they are running some more incentives and there are more trucks on the lot.

@@StarkeyProducts yeah incentives are gone now (as of may 1) and production is limited again due to semiconductor industry. Also not to mention the trucks that are on the lot many of them have to have their windshield replaced due to a recall. So they can’t sell them until then. The truck I got just had the windshield replaced prior to purchase. I bought the truck 4/29 when incentives were still available thankfully. Timing is everything

So far so good. I just looked and there is some surface rust developing on the rear axle/ pumpkin. No other areas though.

All née trucks have rust should have looked underneath before you bought it!!!

I heard that somewhere else...I'll try and post in update in 6 months.

There was a little negotiation, but unfortunately, when the next few guys are lined up ready to buy, you lose some negotiating power.

It’s an option.

there is a $595 on the credit when you get the 20" wheel upgrade

Yes it’s like 38k here

@Greg B how do you mean? I’ve got a 2014 stx with the 5.0 was thinking about getting this one

Agreed we are still seeing the same here. The lots in this area (Central Florida) are still half empty - all vehicles are up at the front, no more full back lots.

Agreed, basically a necessity. The dealership offered to Spray in for $500. The option costs the same if you get it from the factory, but I have never seen what the factory version looks like.

Starkey Products FYI, I am shopping for an XLT or Lariat late model used and called Ziebart to find out I can get a spray in liner for $450. I was told they do the work for the Ford dealers so am betting they get an even better price for volume. Bet they mark em up to the buyers. Surprise ...

@@MrIndyjoe Good to know, thanks for the information. I want to do something, haven't decided what yet.

@@StarkeyProducts I appreciate getting tips from others and on occasion can contribute. The guy at Ziebart told me he could sell me a bedliner or do the spray-on but if I was going to keep the truck a good while I would be better off with the spray-on coating. He says that the plastic bedliners trap moisture and the truck bed will begin to rust prematurely. The other thing I considered is the plastic is very slippery for items to shift around while transporting (like groceries for example). So am pretty sure I will get the spray-on type.

Those are standard on certain models.

@@TexasMan77 .. but most of these things are basic features. Calling led headlights special or remote start and forcing someone up a model is wrong. I can see luxury features but not basic things.

These days, lightly used trucks are pretty much the same price, its insane.

My 2012 3.5 has 235,000 miles and can still outrun a 2021 Chevy, 2021 Tundra and some new Fords!
