3.5 ECO-BOOST. I have had 2 so far and in my opinion they rock! Price should be around 60,000 out the door. This.. I'd wait for the prices and demand to drop a bit. $60k is nice heavy duty w/ a diesel $$$ |

That is my dream truck At that price you can get the Duramax/Allison. 2500 HD Yes, FBHO and UAW but the Sierra is a better truck(IMHO) Duramax is a hotrod and is best in most testing And the 1500 with 6.2 un-corked would be beast. 1500 Sierra Quote HistoryQuoted:

That is very noble of you to live in such a modest house and have a extremely low house payment. You have to remember that many of the people that are buying this truck is for their business. Whether it is a oil business a lawn business painting business power washing business… It's a write off. The truck also comes with two different motors a 2.7 which is a pretty dang strong new motor and the 3.5 both of them turbo. The resale on these 2015 trucks in three years is going to be way higher than a 2014 similarly equipped. That being said whatever job you have in Oklahoma you are paid a shitload less per hour, per week or per year then if you lived in a state like California New York Florida Illinois, Texas. Everything is relevant. Also like any new car prices back to reality after a few months. A plumber in Oklahoma might make $16 an hour where a plumber in the other states that are mentioned might make $35 per hour same goes with the nurse, a welder, a policeman, firemen, a schoolteacher. It is always better to WORK in a state with very high salaries and RETIRE in a state with very low cost of living. Oh yeah living in Oklahoma during the winter is wonderful. Sarcastic.  . As you were scraping the ice off of your windshield and shoving wood/coal in your stove I am watering my flowers in my shorts and swimming in my pool and fishing for Redfish in my boat.(FL)

$60k is a house with acreage, not a truck. lol you need to check house prices over here , then you would leave the op alone I paid $47,000 for my 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with detached garage and 3.5 acres. but $60,000 for a pickum up truck is crazy talk. Oklahoma beats the shit out of Florida and all its Northeast liberal fuckwad transplants.

You'll love the truck OP. I have a 2011 F-150 Lariat with the Eco that I paid $42k for, MSRP was $48k. Those new 2015s are sweet trucks. I gotta resist through, I'll keep my 2011 until either it gets wrecked or in 2020-something when the next new body style comes out, which will likely be an $75k truck by that time.

Ok, I take it you must be younger than me. There is way to much for me to explain right now. Kinda like debating RWD and FWD back in the late 80's. Over time auto mfgs have improved just about everything. The Ecoboost motor is working no harder than a V8 producing the same power. Sure the smaller engine turns more RPM's but its not working "The Piss" out of the motor. |

If there are any 2014's left on the lot, the dealer should be willing and able to knock an easy 10 to 12 thousand off the sticker price. just running the math: $42,000 out the door over 60 payments comes out to a $700 per month payment. 
But a $30,000 OTD price comes out to $500 a month. I find the the 500 dollar one easier to swallow. $700 a month starts creeping up on my actual house payment amount which makes me

I am simply wondering what is down the road and when for them. To put it simply, unless ford underestimated the quality of the components they installed the engine shouldn't be under anymore stress than your engine with two more cylinders. Look what big rigs can do with 6 cylinders, you wouldn't argue they switch to more cylinders would you? 15psi will effectively double engine displacement and power. Small turbo engines keep the power band low and broad. One could argue your V8 has to spin more to make the same amount of power thus you would have to "run the piss" out of your NA V8 more so then a person with a small turbo 6 cylinder. Don't just respect the peak numbers, respect the entire powerband. |

3.5 ECO-BOOST. I have had 2 so far and in my opinion they rock! Price should be around 60,000 out the door. Well I feel better about picking up my 2013 XLT with a V8 for $26,200 a year ago. |

We haven't paid near $60K for any of our houses. This one, $48K current market value $200K. We're thinking of splurging on the next home. $114K. But it's on ForTay ac. backing up to national forest. If one want's to drop $60K on a vehicle God Bless them. Then again with the O&G out here, that's the average tag the kids are driving. |

If its not a Tundra, you are doing it wrong.....unless you live outside the USA where a Hilux is good enough for everything. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
That is very noble of you to live in such a modest house and have a extremely low house payment. You have to remember that many of the people that are buying this truck is for their business. Whether it is a oil business a lawn business painting business power washing business… It's a write off. The truck also comes with two different motors a 2.7 which is a pretty dang strong new motor and the 3.5 both of them turbo. The resale on these 2015 trucks in three years is going to be way higher than a 2014 similarly equipped. That being said whatever job you have in Oklahoma you are paid a shitload less per hour, per week or per year then if you lived in a state like California New York Florida Illinois, Texas. Everything is relevant. Also like any new car prices back to reality after a few months. A plumber in Oklahoma might make $16 an hour where a plumber in the other states that are mentioned might make $35 per hour same goes with the nurse, a welder, a policeman, firemen, a schoolteacher. It is always better to WORK in a state with very high salaries and RETIRE in a state with very low cost of living. Oh yeah living in Oklahoma during the winter is wonderful. Sarcastic. . As you were scraping the ice off of your windshield and shoving wood/coal in your stove I am watering my flowers in my shorts and swimming in my pool and fishing for Redfish in my boat.(FL)

$60k is a house with acreage, not a truck. lol you need to check house prices over here , then you would leave the op alone I paid $47,000 for my 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with detached garage and 3.5 acres. but $60,000 for a pickum up truck is crazy talk. Plumbers in OK are making 30 plus an hour apprentices may start at 16. |
