So I'm looking to replace my beat to death 97 F150.
I found a 2014 Ford F-150 Lariat with the 6.2L in it with 89,942 Miles on it.
It's a one owner truck in mint condition and Loaded.
Carfax is clean and they're asking $28,733.
I've been reading and searching and the 6.2 looks be a VERY good motor.
What do you guys think? Good price Yay or Nay?
Anything else I should worry about?
Anything else I should be ecstatic about?
Thanks Guys & Gals

 

90K miles is a bit high for a '14, but if the truck looks like it has been well maintained, it's most likely not an issue.

The 6.2 is a very good mill. It doesn't appear to have any major issues, but you might check in the Super Duty forums to get a better idea (last I heard, it still accounted for ~50% of F-250 sales). It's a rara avis in the F-150, so you're more likely to hear about any problems from the Super Duty guys.

As for pricing, check KBB to see if it's in the ballpark.

 

I have a 2013. With the 6.2. I love the engine. 2014 was the last year for a 6.2 F150. And they are rare. It will do as well on gas as your old truck... 90k is a bit high, but these engines have been great

 

See if you can knock them down a bit on price due to miles, but I'd jump on it. I absolutely love my 6.2 f150 she puts a smile on my face multiple times a day.

 

See if you can get them to come down a little because of the mileage but other than that sounds like a nice truck.

 

The price is a bit high IMHO but the rarity of the engine is driving that.

If not already done, there will be some maintenance items coming up at 100K miles. Plugs and coolant.

The transmission, transfer case and axles will be due at 150K but I don't know many whoa re waiting that long. The point being that right after you buy it, you'll need to spend some money.

 

If I was in the market, I would buy that truck (assuming it's a 4x4 but that is one of my requirements). The 6.2L is a drama free motor capable of 300-400k. Keep in mind that Ford changed the oil requirements in 2015 to 5w-30 from 5w-20.

 

Thanks Guys!!!
Yes it's a 4X4 and it's nice to know about the upcoming maintenance. I'll definitely use that in negotiations.
It will become a VERY low millage truck when I own at some point down the road as it will be a secondary/extra mostly for fun. Whenever the weather get's nice here TN, I usually op for the Convertible Cobra or one of my bikes.
So I'm really going to be taking a deep look at how clean and well maintained it was.
And then I can't wait to dress it up and make it "Cool" LOL!!!!

 

Mine had high miles for its age. In 3 years, I've only put 12k on it. It will be a low mileage truck as time goes on. I bought mine because it had the 6.2, and max tow..

 

Love the 6.2 in my 13 Raptor. MBRP exhaust with resonator delete and it's just evil sounding. I've had a 3.5 eco and a 5.0 in this gen as well. The 6.2 is the balance of the 2. Good torque and pulls good rpm.

 

In that case, check for the Heavy Duty Payload Package (HDPP). That comes with 7-lug wheels, which limits your wheel choices.

 

I check it out the night before last. Tried to get in touch with the salesman yesterday, no response. Now the adds are offline on the stores website and Autotrader... I guess it's sold.

The Search Goes On!!!!!

 

Good luck with search!

 

There is a nice 2012 Platinum 6.2 with 66k miles for sale here locally, doesn't look like anything has ever been in the bed. Asking 31.5k and I bet it'll be gone within a week.

 

So a 6.2 F150 is now being sought after? Can't say I'm surprised. So they hold their value better than the others?
