What the heck do you guys do that you can afford a brand new truck? Sheesh. Congrats though. I love my 07 F150. Blanco, bought mine new in 2013 because the used prices were insane. I also intend to keep it until the wheels fall off and buying new and I know it was never and will never be abused and lack basic maintenance. I expect to have it for at least 10-15 years. The beauty of a truck is even when they are older and used they look even more like a truck and thats a good thing. |

I have been looking for a while and I think this is the sweet spot. 4x4 5.0L 3.55 E-Locker Crew Cab 6.5 Ft bed Should come in around $36K out the door. Any reason not to buy an F150? That's the F150 I'd buy. In fact, that's the F150 I want. Although I'd be willing to go ecoboost too (probably better for my uses anyhow). But for what you got, that's a good price. Good job (and good rate). |

Bought a 2015 F-150 in Jan. I went with Ford over the competitors because I was fortunate to know the owner of the dealer, and was below invoice when all said and done. Cut into their holdback, so no fat left in the deal. Decided against paying cash due to the 1.9% financing.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Skip the rattle trap and buy a Toyota Tundra it will drive and feel like new for longer and the depreciation won't be as bad. Or better yet find one that's a year old. A year old truck is about the worst thing to buy. The selling price is almost the same as a new truck, and if you are not paying cash the interest rate will be higher than a new auto loan. Either wait until they are at least 3-4 years old or buy new. Love my F150. |

Only reason not to buy it is that it's a Ford. Go get a 1-2 year old used Tundra or Tacoma for that price and you won't be disappointed. You can get a new Toyota for that price, if you're so inclined, but neither of them is really a replacement for a full size truck if you actually need one. |

No need to buy it and then be without it, and the dealers go to the front of the line at those types of places.

This is based on a friend that has a new Ford truck, not my story so I don't know the details.
Spark plugs. Ford told him $800 to do plugs and wires. Firestone told him $600-$900 depending on how many plugs they break while removing them. My understanding is the plugs have two sets of threads and it's common to break them on removal requiring special tools, Firestone broke 2 costing an extra 100. That level of stupidity in its design makes it a shop job vs home, and almost a grand to fix. Fuck that |

Sure saving 700 lbs off your empty weight is nice, but it doesn't make that huge of a difference with the MPG. |

It's not just about the MPG, it's going to be about resale value down the road, desirability, reliability, and longevity. Of course if you plan to keep it till the day you scrap it then I guess it's pretty moot... although I'd imagine you'd get a bit more for a aluminum truck at scrap prices. The aluminum repair costs aren't much different... the problem is that there aren't many shops equipped for it or with the experience of it, so the ones who do charges more. This will level out quick. Here is a little write-up on it. The repair actually was less, but due to the labor rate for aluminum (there is this demand thing again) the cost is more. http://www.edmunds.com/ford/f-150/2015/long-term-road-test/2015-ford-f-150-aluminum-body-repairs-part-3-with-video.html |
