2015 F150 Pics

[otrfun]

Saw this 2015 F150 Platinum 4x2 at a nearby dealership. $55k MSRP. 17/24 EPA. Tapped the sheet metal on some 2014's and this 2015. Noticed the tone was distinctly lower on the 2015--sounded more solid, like it had more mass to it. Woulda checked out the door jam payload sticker, but the dealership was closed today.

Wow! Quite the picture thread! 😉

I went to our local dealership yesterday specifically to get pics and test out the truck. They told me that they haven't got one but one is in transit.

Hopefully this week I will be able to check one out in person.

Thanks!

How exactly are they overpriced if people continue to buy them? The market sets the price, not the manufacture.

I personally do not know a single person who has paid MSRP for any new vehicle. Most people have some kind of discount through insurance, work, memberships.. etc etc etc.

While still very expensive many people get 5-10k off MSRP relatively easily. Not everyone I am sure, but many do.

Being a new model and only a few being available I am sure that these trucks will not see 10k discounts for 6-8 months.. but just like every other brand out there.. eventually you will see this 5-10 k off MSRP for these trucks too.

Thanks!

With internet sales now being common, you can simply look up a vehicles selling price on just about every vehicle on the lot on any dealers web site in which is always lower than the MSRP. In my case I wanted to purchase the wife's new Edge from a local dealer, but they were $900 higher than another dealer on the exact same vehicle, so when talking to the salesman at my preferred dealer, I referred him to this other dealers lower price so they simply matched it.

I understand the 2015's have $2000 on the hood already.
They sure got ya'wl exited though.

Like Jeremiah said 'who pays full price' ?

Some of us use our trucks to make a living.
I doubt, if we all refused to buy a new truck, we would still be in business when the prices dropped.
Sounds like cutting off our noses to spite our face.
They aren't making a killing on the truck, it's the options.
Don't get the heated and cooled leather seats etc, and the price drops $20K.

Seems to me that aluminum bodies is the wave of the future. If I were betting, I would say this will work out well for Ford, and the others will follow.

From what I understand, car companies are lining up to reserve capacity with aluminum rolling mills. Capacity doesn't come online quickly, or cheaply, and it will take years to convert one model line to aluminum now that Ford has bought the available supply.

It's a great time to be in the aluminum rolling business, a few years ago it sucked.

I recently got a 2014 XLT with ecoboost. No special towing or payload packages, but pretty nicely equipped.
Year end sale, $8K off msrp.
msrp $38,900 Got it for just over 30.
They are certainly expensive, but if they are all close, there is really no option.

I would like to see some real increases realized by buyers. 20%+ increase in premiums seems pretty high.
