Regarding your nerve damage to your legs.
Check the F 150 out first. Remember, a pickup truck, is higher than many vehicles.
See if it's difficult to climb up into the cab and down, out of the cab. Remember you'll probably be doing this a number of times per day.
Check out the 4WD vs the 2WD...often a 4WD is higher. Check out what it's like to use running boards. Does that alleviate or increase difficulty for your legs ?
Don't just focus on the F150. Look at other makes of vehicles.
For example, I'm fairly tall and big and have what I call hockey knees. I need to stretch my legs and have a relatively flar seat cushion for comfort.
I tried all sorts of vehicles before I bought my last vehicle. I tried Hyundai, Honda, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, VW, Nissan, Toyota....you name it...I tried it.
I was surprised that the most comfortable vehicle...by far...for me...was of all things a large, 6 passenger Buick sedan.
So I got the 'old man's' car...a Buick. I was surprised as I never considered a Buick....until I tried it
I'm not saying buy a Buick....although look at the Enclave for passenger and carrying capacity.
What I am saying is don't limit yourself to one make/model.
Keep in mind your priorities...comfort, ease of entry/exit, passenger and cargo room.....don't look at brand preferences.
Lot's of different makes/models/ comfort options out there.
