I'm in the market for a newish truck. Been eying a 2012 f150 with 115k. Owner supposedly took good care of it. 5.0l engine SuperCrew gorgeous truck. I have been a chevy guy all my life, but this seems to be like the forbidden fruit. Is there any major issues with these trucks? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the site. Since you have asked a question, I’m moving it to a forum where you should get more replies.

Welcome!

Just watch the coolant lines on that truck. I think the o-rings on the T-connectors go resulting in leaky coolant.

I had a 2011 Supercrew 5.0, 85,000 miles and now have 72,000 on a 2014. Both have been perfect. I think the 5.0 is on of the most trouble free engines on the road. Be sure to check maintenance records if possible.
