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

• 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).
