$7940 vs $12,894 trade in 10 years later is a huge factor to me.

$13,000 trade in for a truck only 10 years old is zero value. I wouldn't sweat it. $8000 nothing vs 13,000 nothing, when your next truck will be $10,000 more total than the current one. Trade in value is a joke. Might make more ripping the truck apart and ebaying it one piece at a time.

I would have kept my 2008 forever, if it's body wasn't a rust bucket.

I heard that, rust is the killer. I'm in Maine. We pay big bucks for trucks to watch them rust. Hoping the new Fords hold up better.

I have a 06 F350 that is like new. Don't use it in the salted roads if I don't have. If I do, I immediately pressure wash it, then put it in my heated garage.

XL resale value gets dinged because of the fact most are fleet trucks.
STXs and loaded XLs are in a different boat if you find the right buyer.

Also, when I run the numbers XLTvalue is always ~ $3,000 more than STX with similar options.

I agree and hope your right on the STXs (see my sig). 17 was the first year of SD STXs. We'll see what the future holds. Regardless, I love my STX and have no buyer remorse.
