Fighting the same battle here. Just holding off until the repairs start piling on..Hopefully I can push it off close to a year. That said I dont think the market has stabilized enough around here for the dealerships to really know what to bring in stock. Still see brand new 2015 models on lots and piles of 2016 and the 2017 starting to show up. If I had to buy tomorrow I would likely go and work hard on one of the new stock 2015's.
I am assuming you have the 5.4 or the 4.6 Liter in that truck. I had a 1999 Ford F150 with the 4.6 and I put 379,000 miles on it. The truck was all original except for rear end which was replaced at about 170,000 due to a gear failure (can't recall which one but it was cheaper to replace entire rear end). Both of those Ford engines are great as long as they are taken care of. Just my experience.
I bought a 2013 F-150 4wd supercrew last year, and hadn't regretted it yet. These new trucks are now built to roll up the mileage if taken care of.
We will be keeping her until the doors, wheels and bed falls off!

I saw one of those new f150 after a wreck and it peeled back the whole right side of the body back like a coke can.
You're not supposed to wreck them. The good old days of thick steel vehicles is gone. Used to be, if there was a bad wreck you just hosed the blood and guts out and the car was ready for the next driver. Now they are designed to crumple, tear and fly apart. This absorbs the energy, thus giving the occupant a better chance of survival.

First of all on the company truck get an anchor mate so you can deploy some chains to drag and throw a couple of drift socks out the window when you want to slow down then drop a Grapnel anchor for a complete stop. The purchase, well I've got over 230k om my 2005 GMC and I ain't thinkin' about a new one yet. Roadside assistance might be something to think about though.
If you can't resist the urge for a new one .do a friend a favor and find out what the dealer
is willing to give you on the trade in and sell it to someone for what their going to give you and make
someone very happy.and if you don't have a friend that's in the market for it . Well I'll be your friend

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
