Used Ford F-150 Buying Guide
Thirteenth Generation, 2015-Current

Comfort: With so many trim models out there, there's a used Ford F-150 for everyone. If you're looking for an affordable work truck, test-drive the XL or XLT models, both of which are nicely equipped with spacious, supportive seating. In high-end models, like the King Ranch and Platinum, you can impress clients with upgraded leather upholstery.
Technology & Convenience: Sync 3 infotainment is bound to impress. It includes a responsive touchscreen and sophisticated voice controls, so sorting through your apps is a cinch. Sync 3 also includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - technology that displays smartphone apps directly on your central touchscreen for safe, easy access.
Safety: The advent of high tech driver aids - including forward collision warning - means you're always extremely aware of your surroundings. Technology, like the 360-degree camera system, is especially helpful when you need to guide this sizable pickup through cramped spaces.
Performance: With its class-exclusive aluminum body panels, the modern F-150 is lighter than ever. That means increased maneuverability, towing and hauling capabilities, and impressive fuel economy.
Twelfth Generation, 2009-2014

Comfort: The regular cabin sports a roomy bench seat for three or optional captain's chairs with a handy center console for your wallet and smartphone. If you require extra seating, check out the extended SuperCab, which supplies rear jump seats. These seats fold up to create interior cargo space. Finally, the SuperCrew is the roomiest of them all - it even doubles as a family hauler, with more than enough elbow room for everyone.
Technology & Convenience: If you want the most in infotainment, look for Sync technology. As you navigate a busy highway, there's no need to lift your hands from the wheel - just use its handy voice controls to switch radio stations.
Safety: These model years put your safety first - every single one comes with anti-lock brakes for strong stops (and maybe even a discount on your car insurance). Stability and trailer stability control also help maintain traction to keep you from skidding over wet surfaces.
Performance: Specifically designed to tow and haul heavy loads, these used models impress with their rugged capabilities. If you want to max out your truck's talents, look for the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. Max tow ratings reach 11,300 pounds, so you can expect to tow a spacious family camper or an especially big boat.
What Drivers Love about the Used Ford F-150
Hardcore F-150 fans are in it for the towing and hauling capabilities. With Ford's top-of-the-line turbocharged engine, many used F-150s provide best-in-class towing capabilities. If you're looking to move a 12,000-pound trailer full of lumber or a bed full of heavy construction supplies, you can't go wrong with the F-150. That's doubly true if you select a model from the current generation. With their exclusive aluminum paneling, these trucks are lighter, more maneuverable, and can handle increased payloads.
What to Look for in Your Used Ford F-150
As you browse the dealership's used Ford F-150 selection, keep in mind that each truck will have its own specific features list. These models have changed a lot over the years, but you can basically expect to find modern tech and safety features, including Sync 3 infotainment and forward collision mitigation, in later model years.
