I pulled the trigger on a 19' f150 nicely equipt XLT 4x4 with just over 20k.
it is Waaaayyyy nicer then my 02', which I still have and is the back up vehicle.
My resent upgrade since purchasing are Mishimoto catch can (to keep that3.5tt intake clean), factory tail gate assist, mud flaps and bed cleats. Also have scheduled clear protective barrier for the hood and door jambs. Oh and tailgate lettering inserts tail gate bling

Congrats. I just bought a 19 as well. It's night and day from my 11. Thinking back to my 05 I had, I can imagine your jump. It's like going from an old biplane to an F-16. Leap in tech and performance
Thanks!! My way of thinking was I didn't want vehicle payments when I retired. So, I did the up-grade now, rather than later. Crappy time right now to do such a thing, with the way the vehicle market as it is. I could have spent less but to find that unicorn of a truck with low miles and 4-6 yrs old and the features I wanted. They either were asking nearly as much as I gave, or it was rode hard and but away wet with miles at or over 100k. If I went with 1-2 yrs old & low miles remaining factory warranty, etc etc, then it was over sticker price.
