Other than heated seats and saving $1,200, anything else that makes the used one better for you?
Depends if you’ll use the Lux features: heated seats, steering wheel, mirrors, USB connections for the back seats, hitch, and a drop-in bed liner. To me, the luxury package is worth it—those features should come standard on a 2024.

Honestly, I’m not sure if I need heated seats or mirrors, and USB ports aren’t a big deal to me. But maybe I’m undervaluing them. Does the 4K towing package come with a hitch?

Yep, with the 4K package, you’ll have the hitch. Given that, I’d probably go new if those extras don’t matter to you. I’m in Canada, so the heated features are a must. You also get remote start with Lux, but any trim has FordPass for that.

For just $1,200 more, I’d feel better owning it from new.
Honestly, I’d probably order a 2025 if you’re able to wait.
What makes you say wait for the ‘25?
I’m a bit worried about it being the first year after a design change, and I don’t know much about what’s new besides the 360 camera. Isn’t the ‘25 more expensive too?
@Lior
The 2025 XLT Eco with 4K towing and Co-Pilot 360 has an MSRP of $32,325. Only a couple hundred bucks more. You get a bigger screen and the newer model year.
Honestly, the Lux package isn’t worth the extra cost or mileage for me. The only thing I’d want is heated seats, but with cloth seats in the XLT, the cabin warms up quick. Plus, does the 24 Lux even come with a spray-in liner?
I’ve got a similar setup as the used one, but I added the FX4 package. For Canadian winters, the heated seats in the luxury package make a big difference! I’d go with the used one since the miles are low. Are both from the dealership?
Personally, I’d go used. 4,600 miles is basically nothing—two months of driving for me. Plus, you get the Lux package, which could add a bit to resale later.
If the truck colors aren’t swaying you, I don’t see the value in getting a brand new one.
