If you want a well-equipped full-size truck without paying new-truck money, this 2018 Ford F-150 Lariat in Lead Foot is worth a close look. With just over 98,000 miles, it has plenty of life left in a 5.0L V8 that has earned a strong reputation for durability. The 10-speed automatic transmission keeps the engine in the right power band, and the flex fuel capability gives you options at the pump. At 18 city and 23 highway MPG, you are getting reasonable fuel economy for a truck with this much capability. The extended range 36-gallon fuel tank means fewer stops on long hauls, which adds real convenience for anyone who tows or travels.
The Lariat trim puts a lot of useful equipment in one package. Inside, you get leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a twin panel moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, memory seat, and SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The FX4 Off-Road Package and 4WD make this truck ready for rough conditions, while the Lariat Sport Appearance Package gives it a sharp look. For towing, the Trailer Tow Package, Class IV hitch receiver, integrated trailer brake controller, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are all already on board. The tailgate step with lift assist and the foldable bed extender are small details that make daily use a lot easier. Power-deployable running boards and all-weather rubber floor mats round out the practical side of this truck.
Buying at this mileage and price point means someone else absorbed the steepest part of the depreciation curve. A new Lariat with this kind of build would run significantly more, and you would still end up with the same basic truck. This one comes with the FX4 package, the towing setup, the upgraded cooling system with higher-capacity radiator and higher-power fans, and all the interior comfort features already installed. There is nothing left to add. The upgraded front stabilizer bar and front wheel independent suspension make it a composed ride on the highway, not just a work truck that beats you up on the commute.
We would love to get you behind the wheel so you can see how much truck this is for the money. Give us a call at 978-228-5021 to ask any questions or to schedule a test drive with our team here at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill.
