Long-time lurker, finally an owner. Grabbed a 2024 SEL AWD (non-turbo, went that route on purpose to skip the DCT) in gray with about 9,500 miles. One owner, clean Carfax, zero open recalls, basically still new. Got it for $27k out the door which is insane (went through a Ford RV dealer that got it as a trade in towards an RV).

​

The coolest part is everything the previous owner left on it. It came with a LOMAX hard tri-fold tonneau (the ~$1,200 one), a CURT Class III hitch with 7-way wiring, a bed extender, an AUTO-VOX dual dashcam, Nilight LED pods, genuine Hyundai wheel locks, and tint on everything but the windshield. Probably $2-3k of extras I didn't pay a dime extra for. Felt like someone did all the work and handed me the keys.

​

This is going to be our family adventure truck, we do a long Oregon coast trip every year plus camping and trails, and it hits the sweet spot for us. Rides like an SUV, sits up high, sips regular gas, and it's truck enough for the bed and a future small camper. My daughter loves the tall view and there's room for the dog.

​

I know it's "not a real truck" to some folks 😄 but it's exactly the right amount of truck for my life and I think it looks great. Couldn't be happier. Any SEL owners have mods or trips you've loved? Open to ideas.
