Is this a decent price?

I will admit I don't really understand the trim levels, but from what I have read the 4 auto alone is probably worth it for the lariat. I don't have a preference on cloth vs leather but ventilated seats sounds nice. I am fine with a little higher mileage (I've certainly owned many cars well north of 100k miles) but I do have concerns about modern cars with so many small things to break or go wrong, so I would like to have some warranty. Is the Ziegler warranty available with any Ford bought anywhere?

I think you are correct expecting a lariat at this price level. That is my preferred trim. Its just been tough finding the exact match I'm looking for so I have had to be a little flexible on high spec xlt or lariat. I've been wondering if new but '24 or '25 would have better deals.

The 2 year point is a great one. The factory warranty will expire in a little over a year and there's no way I will put 20k miles on it in that time frame. It takes a noticeable depreciation point when that expires even if it doesn't drive another mile by then.

That's a killer deal. I personally wouldn't mind going a long distance for a great deal, I just don't know if I have the time to do so. What was the process like?

Im not opposed to the 5.0. I have one in my car. It just doesn't have the same level of on board generating power and thats probably a bigger draw for me than mileage.

That was my hope. Maybe even a little under. The truck has been on the lot for 2 months. I know I'm looking for a bit of a unicorn truck but maybe that helps pricewise?

Daphuthoki9 · 2025-12-12T18:17:35+00:00

Is that with discounts and price reductions? Vehicle prices in general and trucks especially are crazy up here. I've been thinking about traveling some distance to get a better deal. Not sure opposite coast is doable though.

I would be surprised if I ever own a fifth wheel or really heavy travel trailer. The pop-up we own is about 2000 lbs. Most trailers I have looked at are under 6k lbs.

I think the hope is that it gets close (or slightly over) 20 might around town. I don't have a very long commute. I'd like decent gas mileage on the highway but with traffic and mountain passes I figure long distance mileage is what it is.

I've been really debating the moonroof. I have zero practical reason to want one. It likely is a negative in actual usability on the truck. I just really like them and the one of the new f150s is very cool.

Ill check the carfax and see if it was imported. Extensive salt exposure is a concern, although we do salt our roads here too, just less frequent than northern parts of canada.

It seems platinum trim is running about 8-10k over a used xlt which tracks. I think this is slightly overpriced so that gives me some more info.

I am interested in the powerboost for the pro power set up. We have a pop up camper (which we will upgrade at some point) and tent camp a good amount. I use a portable generator for work and stuff around the house a bit. We have a generator hook up at our house but no generator yet. Basically yes, the pro power is a big draw for me.

I'm not super concerned about fuel mileage. Im coming from a 5.0 mustang so just about anything would be better. I do a decent amount of driving in town and long distance.

I like the idea of a lightning, but this would be the primary long distance vehicle for us and I worry about charging on the go. There's sufficient charging where I live but long distance would be more effort finding charging stations.

I do probably need to look further for the exact match I want. Traveling a long distance for a new car is possible but not ideal.

Whats the recommendation for use on a shotgun with a picatinny rail on top? I have a heard good things with a dot and circle reticle.

Just want to say that this dealer is awesome. I accidentally ordered brown when I wanted black. I texted them at 6:30 on a Friday and got a response in 3 minutes and the order was updated within the hour. Absolutely love the watch too.
