2011 look fors

I'm going to be looking at upgrading my 09' 150 to a 2011 250 lariat with the 6.2 gasser. It only has 67k miles and from the photos, looks minty. Is there anything I should specifically be looking for? I know in the 150s the corner cabs rot (like mine). Thanks.
Eric

The early 6R140s needed solenoid packs and/or a re-flash. A web search would get more info but it had to be built late '10 or the first couple mos of '11

Seems the evaporator leaking and being clogged are a common issue. Also the cab/body mounts seem prone to failing

Have a 2011 F350 6.2l purchased new in 2010; about 104,000 miles.

no issues other than bottom of the doors and wheel well rust/rot, but I’m in the northeast (salt country) and have never dine much to prevent it other than wash it

UPDATE: The truck sold a the night before I was going to go up. Frustrating situation as I had an appointment to see it, the dealership was an hour away, and I was never notified. After sometime to decompress, I stumbled upon a 16' XLT with less miles and ford certified. Better deal minus the bells and whistles the Lariat would have provided. Thanks for the help though.
