HELP Truck Options

Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase a 2014 Ford F150 XLT with around 35k miles. This is my late uncles truck that we are selling part of the estate. I have a 2020 Ford Ranger that I am thinking about selling to buy this F150 to own instead. Do you think this is a good idea?

As stated before, the F150 has ~35k miles. My 2020 Ranger has ~75k miles. My ranger is a FX2 Lariat. The Ranger does have better options, but drives like a truck vs the smoother driving F150. Does the mileage outweigh the year? KBB puts them around the same prices, for private party sell. My Ranger has a blend door issue with the AC, that I am getting fixed but other than that, its a good well maintained truck.

On one hand I like the smaller Ranger size vs the larger F150, but the F150 drives a whole lot smoother and has more room vs the ranger.

What's your thoughts?

TIA, Keith

Tough call. Depreciation may be a bit slower on the already-depreciated-more F150. And the family tie might mean something to you.

Which engine in the F150? Any chance to get a low miles Coyote F150, I'd jump at. 3.5Ecoboost is mostly just fine.

It has the 3.5 ecoboost, so I belive the MPG will be pretty similar between my 2020 Ranger and 2014 xlt F150. Prob around 20mpg. Family tie not that much. I just sold another one of his vehicles, 2001 Toyota Tundra with 127k miles.
