The 2016 is a short bed and a 4x4, which we really don't think we need.And of course, the 2012 is less money. Thank you for your input.

That warranty is nice but you can also add a Ford Protect (ESP) to the '12 for not too much money - I'll have it on my '11 to 136K miles. That long bed sure makes life more comfortable hauling a long 5er though 4x4 is also nice. I've had long and short beds as well as 4x2 trucks. I do have to say that my current '11 with LB and 4x4 is nice, I would give up the 4x4 but never the long bed with a big 5th wheel. If you end up with the '12 4x2, an Equalock differential will be welcome too, especially in a CG with wet grass/sand/uphill sites
