Re: In the Market for a 2019 F150...

Other than it being a '15, I have that truck. Have a 2018 Avenger TT, 29 footer. With the '19 you'll get a better link to smart phones than what I have, that's about all. I'm planning on keeping it till after 3 or 400,000 miles, that's why the V8. The V6 may rate for good horse power and some testing has it better on hills, but I wouldn't trust it past 100,000 miles. I've seen videos of going to Ford dealerships and asking every mechanic, 99% say go for the 5.0. Because they work for Ford they can't say why. My '98 with the older non-turbo V6 just went 200,000 miles. It could probably go another 100 easy, but I'm going to sell it since I got the '15. The only thing I don't like about this one is after 3 straight hours in the seat, my rear starts to hurt a bit. I'm going to get one of those new pads to see if that helps. Be sure you get the towing package so you have the factory electric brake setup. I could probably have a heavier trailer and still feel like I'm only towing a pop-up. The new dodge diesel (nothing more that one or two years old) are probably a bit better for towing, but I hate the look and have been a Ford guy since birth.
