Now I see my next F-150, since I will be replacing mine next year around this time. It looks like a nice mild freshening up until the total re design comes out.

 

Damn well my wife said I could not get a truck now...so she said maybe the 2013. It looks good and I am happy about the HID headlights! I will be one of those that end up with the Platinum (why not have all the bells and whistles right?) I can't wait to see the stuff online and everything. Thanks for the posts...I have been looking for the 2013 almost everyday lately...ironic it comes out now.

 

Wonder when the order guide will be available?

 

What does the "my Ford touch" do, anyway?

 

I like the grill on the silver F-150 (looks like the grills on the 92-96/97HD trucks), don't care for the one on the blue F-150.

 

That is the one like the F250 and F350....looks better than theirs...it is not so HUGE.

 

Pretty amazing to me that you can get a F-150 with a 11,300 pound max trailer tow rating. Maybe some of these should be called an F-200.

 

Here's a video!!

Supposedly the Ecoboost is going to be flex fuel capable as well.

 

I like the new Lariat grille, much better. The XLT grille that is a knock off the Super duty styled grille looks terrible, almost like a cheap aftermarket part.

Also love the new headlights, hope these retrofit easily onto an '09-12 same for the new tow mirrors. They can keep the My Ford Touch though.

Was really hoping for LED tails, not that I would get a new truck but would swap them onto my '11

 

There are a lot of those on ebay cheap enough.

 

Have they released any photos of the new FX4? Wasnt the Raptor supposed to have some minor changers as well?

 

it would be nice to see them offer the lariat and king ranch models with a split bench as opposed to the gaudy car like center console.

 

I won't put that crap on my truck, oem or nothing. Dodge err R A M <------ gosh I still hate saying it that way..... But anyway they just went to LED tails for '13, pretty much every new car now has them. Just thought it would look great on these trucks and help keep the F-150 looking ahead of the times.

But yeah, I would absolutely never buy a set of Ebay led tails, every cheap aftermarket set I've seen always seem to have burned out pixles etc....

 

I bet all the Future Farmers of America are giving themselves high fives now that they can get myfordtouch lol

 

I'm waiting to see the rest of the available grilles. Looks like only a Lariat & XLT-chrome pkg are shown in the pictures and online.

I think there are about 4-5 or more different oem grilles for the F-150 in 2012. I want to see what they did with the KR, Lariat Limited, Harley & FX4 models. Sort of curious what the base XL grille looks like too.

I also wonder how much the Super Duty mirrors effect gas mileage, the tow mirrors on the '09- '12 are quite smaller.
