I was considering a 2025 Platinum but,
I'm not certain that the 2025 has enough changes in the mid cycle refresh to get me out of my 2020. My 2020 is just about to reach 50K on the clock and all systems operate like a singer sewing machine. This has been our best and most enjoyable non truck Ford product that we've ever owned.

This past November we cruised through the mountains of Virginia and W. Virginia enroute to Moline, Illinois where my daughter is stationed and she performed incredibly well in those climbs. As I've said a thousand times, the 2.3L and 10 speed is a great combo based on my limited experience.

My advice is pretty simple. I always go with basics. Paid for? Problems? Does it perform the task at hand? If the answer is Yes, No, Yes. I always say leave it alone. Besides you can always give it a color change at the local vehicle wrap shop for a fresh new feel.
My wife and i were talking recently about new vehicles. She seemed open to the fact if I found a truck that would be a significant upgrade to what we currently have, then it would have to be discussed. However, I cannot see spending the money on a new truck where the current truck is handling everything just fine. I was telling her that a few of our camping friends got new trucks. One got a F250 loaded up. The other 2 (father and son) went to the dealer and wound up trading in their GMCs for 2 2500 models. His dad got a new trailer over over the winter. His son has had a 1500 for the last 5 or 6 years and it was used. He wanted a larger truck for his trailer. His 34 foot trailer is pushing the capacity of his 1500 especially during ATV weekends.
Glad to see you are rocking your 2020 still after these last few years. Great to hear the 2.3 and 10 speed has been doing well. Regular maintenance?
