Depreciation??? Confused According to the local property tax collector, our 2019 F-150 with a 2.7 ecoboost, 4x4, and crew cab is worth a lot more than what we paid for it.  It's been super comfortable, plenty of towing power for our trailer, gets good mileage, and has been trouble free.  Ben, I hope you enjoy your F-150 as much a we have enjoyed ours.

Just a report back to all of you who assisted (I know we all like to hear the ending to a story). We just took posession of a 2016 F150 with a 3.5 V6 ecoboost. We'd gotten as far as putting a deposit down on a new Tacoma (prices on used ones are nearly the same as new), but realized that 1) the Tacoma would still likely fall short of our expectations for towing the 179, especially in the mountains and 2) we didint want to spend so much $$ on a vehicle that we pretty much only use for camping and occasional local trips. It'll take some getting used to - driving a big rig, that is - but I'm sure it will work well as a TV. 

Congrats on the F150. I believe you will be thrilled with it. We started out with a 179 towed by a 2016 Nissan Frontier 4.0 back in 2016. Towed many, many miles thinking that rig was just fine until we upgraded to an F150 3.5 EB when we purchased a new trailer. Looking back, we should have just bought the F150 to begin with. As they say, hindsight is 20/20.
