I think I've owned about every model of Ford that was made in the past 30 years...except an F Series truck. (Escort, Probe, Taurus, Mustang, Fusion, Sport Trac, Explorer, Ranger, Expedition, Bronco, etc.)
I'm retired but enjoy working as a seasonal Ranger on Pikes Peak. I primarily drive F-150s and F-250s at work and liked them so much that I decided to buy a used F-150 as a daily driver. I looked at many used trucks, but really liked the looks and the price of the STX for the best bang for my buck. I don't want a vehicle payment, so my budget was something under $30k.
I picked up this well-optioned 2021 STX with 56,000 miles for $27,000 at a local Ford dealership. It has the Gold Certified warranty, that allows me to purchase the Ford ESP PremiumCARE. So I purchased a 9yr/125,000mi warranty for $1,700. (it is 2WD but I have a Ford Bronco for the 4WD stuff)
It was a $47k vehicle when new and was well-cared for....clean carfax and dealer maintained (oil changes, etc.) Inside the owners manual, I found a slip from the original dealer with the Dealer-added options and Dealer Markup...the original owner paid nearly $54,000 when it was new. (remember those crazy dealer add-ons and dealer markups in 2021...)
After a couple of weeks of ownership, I'm super happy with this truck. So comfortable, plenty of nice options, looks great and that 400hp sure is nice! lol
It's been nice visit the forum daily and get caught up on things related to the F-150s. Cheers!

Ditto on good value. I came from a 2020 with all the buttons, gizmos, and do-dads. The STX is well appointed for me, except I would have liked the seat a little higher. I know they still have a bunch of computers in them, but hopefully less that can go wrong too. Enjoy your new to you truck!
