2013 F150 Super Crew  FX4 with the 3.5L EcoBoost.  Luxury package, 3.55 e-locker, 51k miles. Good Lord this thing is nice. Quiet, smooth, comfy and powerful.

Cooper approves but the bike fitting will take some thought. It has a roll-n-lock tonneau and the retractor box up front makes it just a hair short for the bike. Going to look into fork traps on the metal lid of the retractor box, but for now I'll just use a hitch rack. Or put it in the back seat which is huge with the seats folded up.

Very nice.  My buddy has an ecoboost.  Pretty easy to get sideways cheeky

Does the luxury package come with HID headlights? They look like projectors but that could just be the angle of the picture.

 

The 3.5L Ecoboost is a potent engine. They really wake up with a tune devil.

Me too. Blue Flame. If I had specd a truck on Fords website in 2013 it would have been exactly this one almost to the option.

Yep, HID lights, heated and cooled leather seats, remote start, and the top end infotainment screen, dual climate, etc.

That was 2015 with the aluminum body. I drove several if them too but I didnt like the way the steering felt. Very twitchy, not stable. The 13-14s all felt better and this one felt best.

If you go offroad often at all do yourself a favor and make sure someone hasnt removed the center panel on the skid plate. It happens often and opens up some non durable electronics and plastic too rocks. Otherwise nice truck!

In reply to ultraclyde :

Didn't know anything about the steering differences. I've never looked into these too hard. At that price range I'm gonna go get me a G Wagon because I'm ridiculous.

Was thinking of a 2016 cpo Gwagon. After seeing the 19 model change and comparison with the old, now I only want a 19+ one :(

We drove the truck around town running errands yesterday, then drove about 30 miles each way on the interstate to visit my mom. Took it on the first of many dirt roads and then toured the town looking at Christmas lights with mom and her SO.  My 2 day MPG average is up to 16MPG. The thing cruises so effortlessly on the highway it's a little ridiculous.

Sometimes it really is nice just too get in something newer and drive. None of the project car quirks!
