You can order a 2015 F150, but you can't order a 2015 F150

Re: 2015 F!50s: On July 28, FOMO used a tired marketing trick. The company told news media that dealers could now order the new 2015 F150s (wink,wink). In reality, a guy cannot order the truck he wants because capacities and specifications for the new trucks are mostly nonexistent. And they won't be existent for — who knows? Ford did the same thing with the 2015 Mustang: sent out bogus dealer guides (wink, wink) and much later sent out the real guides. So, the best thing to do is wait weeks or months for a new half-ton, or do the honorable thing and buy a Silverado or a Ram.

I am confused trying to figure what your trying to really say.

And as for the guy who says his dealer has 2 2015 F150 on the lot.
I suggest you go back and take a closer look!!

For "sure" no 2015 F150 at dealerships yet

No I don't think he is confused. What Ford most likely is doing is letting their dealers pre-order the 2015 F-150 with limited information. Hell I ordered my 2015 Eco-diesel with out knowing the pricing. They dropped the Black Gold and replaced it with a Black Forest Green but no one has a sample of it yet. Manufactures do this all the time.

I saw a 2015 F150 this morning. It was Crew Cab King Ranch.

Ironically, it did not look much different than a 2014 except for the taillights. Of course, it was not real light out this morning when I was next to it.

And if you're looking at a Found On Road Dead, you're looking at an inferior truck. Lookmat the new Ram ecodiesel or the GM for a better truck.

Whataya work for Ford Marketing? I'm telling you straight up that specifications for the new trucks are mostly nonexistent, and that Ford dealer guides, by which dealers order cars, are therefore inadequate. it means you can order a truck if you don't know or care what you are getting.

Ford doesn't want to show it's hand 4 months before the first truck can even be sold. Big whoop. The first 2015 F-150 isn't scheduled to roll off the line until October 20th, and that's if there aren't any delays. It's kinda sad hearing a grown man whine....

Strange. My dealer has 2 new 2015 F150s on the lot, a white one and a red one.

No he doesn't. The only 2015 F-150's that exist today are pre production models that were mostly hand assembled. They are not for sale. The first factory producing 2015 models won't start production till October of this year.

Nope.You can build and buy 2015 Super Duty
According to what little the dealers know,if you want a F150 HD or the 2.7HD,they willnot be built until the late run,after Jan 1st

[mcsandman]

The problem is that Ford's 2015 F150 ordering guides are bogus. They will be replaced by real ordering guides whenever Ford Marketing decides to release them.

I don't think you can build your own 2015 F150 yet but you can with the 2015 Mustang. I am not sure what the issue is though that you can not order yet. It's not like they will be built and delivered until late 2015 anyways.

X2, if you don't want one without knowing every detail don't buy it.

Sad to say that many dealerships do not employ people who are willing to take a couple of hours to research the vehicles, or the employees would know more about the cars and trucks than the customers who read for a hour online or a magazine article about the vehicle in question!

I once test drove a Dodge V10 and asked the salesperson "What can it tow". He had no clue, and said something like 7,500 pounds! It was a great truck probably with a 15,000+ tow rating. I only did the test drive to get the free something they offered in the postcard sent to my house.

Good luck finding a better dealership to work with.

Are you sure the dealer isn't pulling something? They do not want to order trucks they want you to buy one off their lot.
