I’m deciding between a 2015 F150 Platinum and a 2014 F150 Limited. Both have the 3.5 Ecoboost engine, crew cabs, and 4x4 drive. They’re both around 109k miles, and the price is similar at $18k. I’ve owned two 12th gen trucks (the 5.0 and the 3.5), but never a 2015+ (aluminum body). Can anyone convince me which one I should pick?
Not sure where you’re located, but the 2015 is probably the better choice for rust alone.

True, thanks for the input!
I like the interior of the 2014 more, but the 2015 is the better truck overall. The second-gen Ecoboost is a big upgrade, plus it has better frame coatings and the aluminum body for no rust. My 2011 was full of issues, but the 2015 has been really solid with only the usual minor problems.

Thanks! Aluminum is definitely the way to go in a place where rust is a problem.

You’re welcome! I’ve got the 2015 Platinum too, and it’s a great trim. Really comfortable truck, you’ll love it.
Both of these trucks will have a lower payload because of all the options. What are you hauling or towing with it? How heavy is it?

I’m towing a camper that weighs around 2,000 lbs.
@Phoenix
Either one can handle that easily without issue.
