Picked up a 2011 Ford F-150 STX Supercab 4x4 this week.
found it last week right after it was traded in at Keyser Miller Ford in Collegeville Pa.
It's got a 3.7 liter v6 with 302 hp and a 6 speed automatic and a manual transfer case and a 3.73 rear.
The paint isn't perfect but the truck is not rotten. It was bought new in Montana and was there until the owner moved to Pa in 2017.
the interior is decent, no odors, or major stains, it has a rubber floormat. Spray in bedliner, step mounted to the tailgate.
The dealer Changed the oil and replaced a door weatherstripping and replaced the rear brakes. The tires have decent tread and are 3 yrs old. Came with a new pa inspection and emissions stickers and a full tank of fuel (36 gallon tank) they also lubed the driveshaft splines for me. Price was fair, 10,000 plus tax. My son paid 20,000 for his 2013 in 2020 and it's still worth 21,500.
The paint is metallic black, sparkles like coal in the sun!
first home depot run.
with my 86 toyota
pics the salesman sent me last week after the detail.
Before detail pics as found last monday.

Looks good! Congrats!
A buddy of mine happens to have the same year and model exactly. He also got his when it hit the trade in lot in 2019. The sales manager is a friend of his. He traded his 2003 F250 V-10 in. He got tired of keeping after the rust on it. And calculating how many quarts of gas it would take him to leave the house.

I Had a Taurus that went through an engine and 2 transmissions before 100000. I gave it away.davidmcbeth3 wrote: ↑Sat. Apr. 01, 2023 3:10 pmI had a Taurus .. it went 150K and I gave it away years ago ... its still on the road. I dunno about the mileage but I would guess its at 300K now.
