Well, the truck could be two years old chronologically, as well as model-year, which only works out to 1000 miles per month, approximately. 2014's are out now. The big question becomes "Are those open highway miles put on at a leisurely cruise, or was there a lot of bumper-to-bumper city driving involved?" Was it a Western hauler which saw mostly dry weather and salt-free roads, or did it come from a Midwestern state where winter road conditions contribute to serious body corrosion issues? Does the truck appear to have been scrupulously maintained, or was it rode hard and put away wet... if at all? Have you considered getting a Carfax report? Knowing these things can make it easier to decide whether or not to buy the truck.

I'd check out your local Ford dealer. There are a lot of discounts right now on new trucks.. My local dealer has SuperCrew FX4s for $39,100, with the EcoBoost.
