With all of the tech in new vehicles I would highly recommend the Ford extended warranty if you plan on keeping your truck past the OEM warranty period. Check with Grainger for a price before obligating with the selling dealer.
Unfortunately, I agree. I had a 2020 F150 SuperCrew 6.5 with the 3.0 Power Stroke, it was towing monster and capable of delivering 30+ mpg when not towing. Ford discontinued offering a diesel F150 after 2 1/2 years. My guess it was cutting into F250 sales.
After 9 different F100/150's and a Ranchero over the last 50+ years it was time to downsize to a mid-size truck. The 2.7 was a must have so I went with the base package XLT. Over the last 4 months I've been adding accessories.

Picked up a parts car last weekend and was surprised how well the truck did. Trailer and car combined weight was about 2k# and another 500# of parts in the bed. Filled the tank at the destination and there was a good bit of idle time while loading. Used tow/haul mode. No trailer brakes and the...
I waited for a 2.7 and a dealer 100 miles away finally got an XLT FX4 in white. 10/24 build and purchased 11/24. No issues yet but I've only driven it 2,800 miles.
I wear a hat with a full brim so turned them around. The rears are removed and stored in the garage rafters. I would rather to be able to see out the rear view mirror.
Took a road trip the other day and got 21.8 (21.4 hand calculated). MPG since iI drove it off the lot is setting at 20.1. Still not as good as the F150 I traded with the same drive train (2.7/10speed/3.73).
After having 2 problem free F150's with the 2.7 engine the decision was easy for me when I decided to downsize to a Ranger. The 2.7 issues that the 4 banger folks harp on were resolved years ago.
