What should I look for when buying a used Ford F-150?

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 83.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Infotainment: A 12-inch touchscreen with Sync 4 software and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid’s city fuel economy is impressive at 23 mpg, but the V6 and V8 models come close on the highway (our Lobo is rated at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined).
