Just bought a 2016 Platinum on Thursday at $54k. Has 26k miles on it so 10k miles and 2 years left on warranty, so feeling hopeful we are good for mechanical's for a while.
Last year for steel bodies. They had a new 2018 Pt on the floor at $84k...yikes! That's almost what we paid for our house 30 years ago.
Only complaint is single 26 gallon tank and average fuel economy..
Am used to having dual tanks for 37 gal on my 1997 F-250 with 7.3L. It routinely gets 16-18 mpg...the 6.7's looks like they only get 13-14mpg. Not sure I understand why 7.3 would get better miles than 6.7 and doesn't have the extra expense of the DEF to boot? Maybe 7.3's 5 spd manual over 6.7's auto trans is the difference.
Also looked at a new 2017 Lariat at $62k, with Al body. Not sure I wanted to go there...wonder about durability of Al over Fe metal with off road excursions. Had steel bodies crack due to body torquing from rough uneven trails. Been told Al bodies more costly for body work etc. All that made me cautious.
Enjoying it for now. Time always tells.
