My f350 superduty was 30k new. Bought it in 2001 and its still going strong. Manual trans and 6.8 v10. And manual windows and no power locks or cruise control. Rubber flooring and a huge trailer hitch and rubber mat on the bed. I put a fiberglass cover to keep the back dry. Few options and the truck is still very very clean inside and out. The typical price of a superduty was 65k when I bought mine for 30. And it has had very few issues. A loaded truck has a lot of things that can go wrong. Transmissions. Infotainment. Power seats. Cruise , air bag suspension , my truck just works and works.

I used to transport the Canadian export versions of these trucks from the Kansas City plant to the railroad. The Lariat is the luxury version, with the Platinum above that. I loved when I got to drive the top of the line King Ranch. They were amazing! They were also about $85,000 Canadian or $70,000 USD for the MSRP as of 2017 when I was driving them. That 425 HP 3.5L eco boost with the 10 speed automatic transmission could really make those heavy trucks get up and go!

i just bought a 2015 ford lariat 4x4. really clean. 5.0 v8. cant imagine paying asking price for new. got 20 mph on highway.

@Doug-gp2qw 3 жыл бұрын

If you actually want to use your truck for truck stuff like towing and hauling, check tow payload rating on these Platinum F150s. They are usually several hundred pounds less payload and several thousand pounds less towing than the XLT trim. So if you need it for work and not show, get a Lariat or lower trim level.

Get the lowest trim level that has heated front seats and heated steering wheel.......and NO sunroof. You'll save $15 to $20 thousand.

@@ClarksonsinUSA but with Lariat you get: motion sensors, remote tailgate release, leather seats, padded door panels, stitched soft touch dash, 8" gauge cluster, Sony or bang and olfson speakers, 8" sub woofer, cooled seats, ambient lighting, real woodgrain, and so on. The Lariat 500A is right at the same price as the XLT 302A sport, and with all of the things that the Lariat gives you over the XLT, The Lariat is a much better value.

@@americantrucknation4891, 2011, 1st generation 3.5 EcoBoost. Bought it from my neighbor 6 years ago. This is the nicest pickup I've ever owned. Had to replace right turbo a year and a half ago, found a new one on eBay for $200 and did the work myself. I am in the process of replacing the left rear door latch because of the switch failure saying that the door is still open. Other than that no problems. The truck has 115,670 miles on it now.

Fantastic truck. I have an S10 and it serves me perfectly. I don't need a $57,000 truck that probably gets about 10 miles to the gallon in the city nor do I have the money to keep gas in it. I also have a 2015 subaru wrx for my daily driver and they both run fantastic I love them equally.
