 I purchased my 2013 F-150 STX brand new. I purchased it with the 5.0 V-8 Flex fuel engine and 6-speed transmission. Some positive highlights about the truck are: great power, excellent throttle response, great towing (I towed about 8,500 lbs from TX to KY and back without any issue), spacious interior even with the super cab, plenty of cargo space (6.5 ft bed) and super low maintenance. Some negatives: Vibration between 55-75 mph (after new tires and rims, vibrations persisted.  Ford dealerships in KY and TX were of NO HELP) front  doors hinges allow doors to open too wide or too narrow. This is an issue parking between vehicles and attempting to open the back suicide door. The center console of the 40 20 40 split bench seats is terrible. No cup holders or storage is offered on the arm rest. Overall, the negative highlights weren't enough to give me a bad experience. This truck offers more than enough for a daily driver without sacrificing its use for special weekend projects or long hauls.  The STX package offers the minimum amount of luxury so I recommend it as a work vehicle or as a backup truck.
