New Ford F150

[dodge man]

Co-worker just drove into work today in a brand new F150, its a 2015 I think. 6.5 bed, crew cab, 5.0, 4x4. A couple of neat features I liked. It has built in ramps for a 4 wheeler. They have a quick release setup and are mounted up higher in the bed sides. They have cable locks that use the same key as the ignition and there is a groove in the tailgate to help keep the ramps for slipping around when loading a 4 wheeler. The man step mounted in the tailgate is hidden better into a spoiler like setup so it doesn't leave you with a lumpy tailgate. The tailgate locks with the electric door locks. It has some nice bed lights built in. It also has man steps that fold out and retract with a kick of the foot, these are mounted near the front of the bed behind the cab on each side. Over all I'm impressed with the design.

They are pretty sweet trucks! Enough to sway you from a Dodge?

The '17 Super Duty is to be revealed at the Texas State Fair next week (9/24 I think). Supposed to be aluminum like the F150 and share the cab with the F150. Can't wait to see my new truck (which I hope to order in 3 years ).

If I was looking, I would without a doubt look at a F150. We have 3 2014 F150's at work, they are nice but not really loaded either. I like them but this 2015 is nicer yet.

It's amazing the technology and goodies in the new trucks (and cars, for that matter) now a days. I mean, heated seats, 360 degree camera view, lane keep assist, intelligent cruise control, trailer backup assist (coming for the '16). No wonder the prices have continued to climb. You can still get a good mid-level truck for a decent price, though.

I generally like the new F-150 a lot, but have started seeing white work truck models on the road, and they are butt ugly. I know that manufacturers probably don't put a whole lot of effort into making sure the basic work models look good, since they focus styling time on the popular high-dollar models. But geez, this new model looks pretty awkward as a work truck with black trim and bumper.

I like the heated steering wheel feature

Pretty crazy that a SuperCrew 4x2 XLT with cloth, a moonroof and the 5.0L v8 stickers at over $50K. Cruise control isn't even available in the base trucks unless you order $4k in packages.

$50K for a 4x2 XLT with short bed is a bit ridiculous, but knocking off $14K in discounts makes the end price pretty typical as far as trucks go nowadays. I suspect they got all those discounts built into the pricing to play some sort of mind game on buyers. Looks like they are getting a $50K truck on sale for $36K, but in reality that is a $36K truck.

How much did the op's friends truck sticker for?

And the problem with that is my county sees that as a $50k truck, not what you paid for it and will tax you to death come property tax time.
