Unless they took the Ecoboost badges off, that's not the 3.5L in that truck.

My advice is to get the Super Crew.  If you ever have passengers you won't regret it.  The Super Cab is nice for the extra bed length but that's it;  If that extra foot is a deal breaker then you're stuck.  Otherwise the Super Crew is superior in every way.  I had an extended cab (super cab in Ford's world) Silverado and the trade in difference was $3K less than the 4 door.  Sticker wasn't that much different so it wasn't worth the extra bed space IMO.

My 07 has the suicide doors, and they suck.  If you're trying to load the back seat in the garage or a parking lot,  you're trapped between the doors.  PITA.  Never again.

my Ram is only 4 months old and I have already chipped the factory bed liner in a spot or two
the coating is "harder" than normal and kinda brittle compared to rhino liner or line x etc...

not super happy about it, doesn't appear that its going to hold up all that well

I just sold my '13 SCREW 5.5' Eco 3.55 FX4

Great truck, didn't need it anymore. Have a Chevy for work.

The Ford is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than the Chevy (Chevy is a '14 1500). That said, do yourself a favor and order a SCREW 6.5' bed model. Most dealers don't stock them, but it's the best of both worlds. I HATED my 5.5' bed. an 8' 2x4 will go in a 6.5' bed diagonally and let you close the tailgate, etc.

The eco motor was great, but the MPG isn't there, so it's a toss up IMO.

Only problem I ever had w/ the Ford was my driver's door held water, pulled the rubber plug and I drained. Left the plug out, no problems since.

ETA: Skip the bed liner and have it Line-X'd. Don't pay interest on a crappy plastic bed liner.

For me in KS it's the same as stock. Of course the hills around here interfere with my reception anyways but most the time on on sirius or bluetooth audio.

I have a Craven stubby.  It does look good, but the reception is mediocre.  If you're close to a strong station you'll be ok, but I definitely noticed a drop off from Denver based stations 60 miles from me.

A $45,000 truck is going to have a residual value near $22,500 after 5 years and 90,000 miles (KBB it yourself) which means your annualized capital cost to own a new truck is $4,500.  That's really not that big of a bite for a sufficiently large quantity of people that you are going to see a bunch of them on the road.



In this thread you'll see lots of people who make themselves feel better by thinking that every new truck going down the road is driven by someone up to their eyeballs in debt.  You can count on it.

Pennies?  What's the difference going to run for identical trim package, $15K?

I got my 2015 xlt for 3k more





I went with the 2015, because the price difference was negated by the price of fuel between the 2014 and 2015. True cost of ownership made the 2015 a better deal, especially since it's a redesign from the previous year.

My truck is a 302a with the 3.5l eco boost (wanted the 2.7), tow package, trailer break, extended gas tank (awesome and totally worth the 700 mile range), and the fx4. Dealer threw in the line x for free after they applied the $500 I put on the custom order down to both my down on the new truck and to line x

At 5500 miles getting the advertised 19 mpg

That's why I want to be sure he's not talking about the post 04 trucks. Because if he's just doing broad brush strokes here I'm calling him out on his bullshit (IF HE IS) because that's some scumbag shit to insinuate that F150's will all kill you completely ignoring the fact there have been 3 generations since the late 90's model. I'm all about being unbiased when it comes to talking about products most of the time and in my opinion if he was or is indeed using that as a base reference or trying to spread that perception to dissuade others he is acting criminal.

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

You gotta go down to about the 5 year ~60,000mi route before the depreciation kicks in enough to make it a good deal (for the buyer). Sell it at the 10 year mark and roll it into the next 5 year old truck. Repeat.

Or...just buy the new truck and be happy. You know you want it

  I've seen 2014 STXs in my locality for 28-30k. 36 seems high given dealers around me seem to be taking 10-12k off of MSRP


I owned an 07 STX before my 09 Lariat. While I liked my STX I wanted more. I couldn't see myself buying an STX again.

So I decided to not get the XLT.

The main reason was that they ALL had the 302a interior package. That in itself isn't bad but the real issue is that they ALL, regardless of dealership, had this pale gray leather that I didn't like and a power sliding rear window. I could totally see that getting screwed up quickly. The other think I didn't like about the XLT's was that 80% of them were EcoBoost and I didn't want that either. I also decided that the $5,000 more was not worth it for what I wanted/needed.

I got a loaded STX, 3.55 E-Locker diff 5.0L, 20" wheel upgrade, SYNC and the towing/GVWR package.

I got it at Buckeye Ford in London Ohio, they were the only dealers who weren't assholes. They also let my apply my X-Plan discount BEFORE the rebates and other discounts which no other dealer offered.

The out the door price was just south of $34K.

I walked in with financing at 1.99% and they beat that with 1.25%. When did car loans drop that much?

I was going to put more down or pay cash but that rate was so low I will just keep my money and use theirs!

Just to clarify, the x-plan price is a set price on the invoice, and you get the other discounts, too.  It's up to the individual dealer whether or not to sell vehicles at the x-plan price.  They still make money, but not as much, (I believe that they get a kick back from Ford).  I've only ever heard of them refusing it on limited run vehicles.  I've heard of x-plan +$1k on some Mustangs.  Obviously, the new trucks are in high demand / short supply.  Lots of people held off, waiting for the 2015's, and the plants aren't up to full speed yet.  That will change.  OP did right going down the street.

Congrats, OP. Pictures please.
