Upgraded 2014 to 2018
After just shy of 4 years, said good bye to my BigRed, traded her in along with the wife's 2010 Escape
She had 48,000 miles of trouble free driving when I traded her in. I mostly returned her to stock to reuse some mods, and sell the rest
The Escape had 94,000 miles on it.
When I bought my 2014 I really wanted the STX Screw with 6.5' bed but Ford wouldn't allow you to configure a truck like that. This truck is a foot longer than my 2014 and yet it is still approximately 300 lbs lighter than my 2014
I've already got 400 miles on her and I love everything about this truck!
2018 5.0/10spd 2wd [3.15 axle]
STX comes with 20" wheels, painted bumpers, unique grill, Sync 3, flow through console, "productivity" instrument cluster.

Road noise is about the same
So far fuel mileage is up from my average with the 2014 5.0/6spd
I'm not one to jump from truck to truck year to year, but the numbers were right for me that it made a lot of sense to go ahead and do the deal

Forscan is definetly in my mind, figured it will also come in handy as I start to wrap up some loose ends on my 2003 Coyote swap and need to start turning off things I don't have as part of my swap

going from a 2012 to a 2017 I totally agree with you.
ride quality is better and the lights are incredible. auto start stop takes getting used to.
for what ever reason then 2012 seems smaller and easier to park, i am still struggling with parking and knowing how close i am to things. maybe that is just me.

Great looking truck Patman. love the 5.0 and jealous of the 3.15 rear.
I agree with you BROTHERDAVE, my 2017 makes a much wider footprint for turning in tight spaces and takes some getting used to while parking. My 2002 is much easier to maneuver.
I haven't checked turning radius yet, but I'd bet there's a foot difference.
EDIT: looked it up, 6 foot difference in turning circle
