I'm looking to buy a truck and there is a 2010 F150 with only 23k mileage on it. The price is 22k Canadian.. Just looking for inputs on whether its a good deal?
Also what to look out for in a 2010 f150?

TIA.

you do not have enough information.. what model, what engine? accessories? at 23K it is almost new. i have a 2011 with 190K with the 5.0. still runs great.

 

It's a little overpriced (but what isn't these days) It likely will have the 4.6 or even the 5.4 ??.....I would be very concerned of the rockers & cab corners & wheel wheels etc. for rusting.........Only you can accept the pricing & condition.....Personally I would be looking for a 2013-14 with low mileage for that price range with the 5.0 coyote engine....a much better motor with usually much longevity....Again inspect for rust !!....You might even find a 2015 + with higher mileage for that price & they are aluminum bodies ??

 

Its a 4.6L v8 engine. XLT model, no rust or dents at all. Accessories include power windows, locks, AC, Power steering 6.5ft box, 17 inc alloy wheels

 

Great mileage but the 4.6 I find pretty anemic in a truck when compared to the 5.4, 5.0, Ecoboost options. If only a daily driver you might find it sufficient. Towing? Not so much. As mentioned, rusty rockers and cab corners.

 

Only if it's the 2V. The 3V DEFINITELY not so much - 292HP / 320FtLb
.

 

Pretty much the same drivetrain as a v8 06-10 Explorer. They are extremely reliable.

 

I still call it my new truck, I have over 136k miles on my '09 4.6l 3V, It tows significantly better than my "old" '92 with the 302 (5.0l).
It is allegedly rated for 8600#, I routinely tow 6000# no issues.

the 4.6l 3V is better MPG and HP than the 4.6l 2V,
That said the 4.6l 2V is pretty much indestructible.

Advice, if it has the 4.6l 3V or 5.4l 3V DO NOT USE 5W20,
Use 5W30 full synthetic, and keep it new (change every 5k miles or less)
