What's your opinion of recent F150s?

Thinking of trading trucks. Considering a F150.

2015 - Aluminum Body. Here in the rust belt, this intrigues me. Staring at a hole slowly growing over the rear wheel arch of the existing truck.
2016 - Carplay and Android Auto. For an old guy, easier to see the 8" screen than a phone screen when I'm trying to find my way around an unfamiliar area.
2017 - Is this the year Ford started sending some fuel down the intake again to help with carbon buildup on the back of the intake valves?
2018 - 10 speed transmission. Improvement over the 6 speed, or not worth it?

That might be as new as I want to go, unless you can point out a feature I can't live without. I'm working from home now, and will likely retire in a year or two. I'll drive it less than 5000 miles a year, current truck is even less than that. I have no issues buying a 100,000 mile truck, unless you're going to tell me there's big maintenance looming before 150,000. Anyone have a high mileage eco-boost?
