    Just so you’re aware, the only F-150 with the offset license plate is the EcoBoost. Moving the license plate allows for additional airflow to the front of the engine. All of the 5.0s have a centered plate. On the EcoBoost the plate can also only be mounted on the drivers side, not meant for two plates.

      The 3.7 V6 also has the offset plate. If I buy the one I'm looking at maybe I'll get a cattle guard also.@@remingtonwells7286

    Own a F 150 XLT 4x4 with the 3.5 ecoboost 2011. 165000k Replaced the throttle body and did some 4x4 work. Battery is over 10 years old! Change oil every 8000k with full synthetic. Great truck. Was going to buy a Tundra last year, sure glad I didn't!

    I have a 2010 in ingot silver with the old 5.4L V8. 226,000 miles on it. Always loved how well it rides. Has plenty power to tow my bobcat but hands down 5.0 or eco boost are much better motors. Ingot silver is by far my favorite ford color. Looks so nice when it’s clean and it actually hides dirt really well.

      @@liammiller8947 Plugs changed twice without issue along with recent coil packs and injectors just for maintenance. Engine and chains run quiet as new, chain guides in place. Changing the oil properly since day 1 has worked wonders. My one complaint is the heater components as the blower motor, resistor and heater core have all had to be changed out at different times. PITA.

      Devon Peters yea I was looking at the fords . I would say get a V6 they are 10x more reliable. And it’s going to be hard to find one that doesn’t have any solid problems at 100k+ miles on a v8 ford. I’ve now stitched to a Ram 1500 Hemi. They are 10x more reliable than the v8 fords. I’m using my tundra 180k miles (still runs perfect) saving money then I’ll prolly buy a new tundra or Ram hemi.

      You are incorrect the FX4 was a trim level slotted between the XLT and the Lariat for some years. The last year the F150 came in the FX4 trim was 2014. Look it up just google 401A you will see.

    Hey sir, I’m new to vehicles as I’m 15 years old and looking for my first. This truck I found for $8000 with about 180,000 miles on it. I don’t plan to use it for anything particularly intensive, but I found another one that only has 120,000 miles on it for $11,900. Almost the same guts and interior, but way less mileage. Can I get an opinion on what I should do?

    • @joshuaoviatt4117
      @joshuaoviatt4117 3 роки тому +8

      If they're the same, I'd probably go with the lower mileage. Of course, vehicle history and condition matter a lot as well. I'd probably prefer a truck with 180,000 miles that has been really well cared for than a truck that's 120,000 miles that's been beat hard. What did you decide to do?
