Quoted you $65k? I hope you understand that truck should sell for closer to $45k mark up on truck is HUGE.
went to a local dealer the other day and sat down with the sales rep and put the order in for a new 2015.
Picked out that it will be a Lariat Sport Package. Had to do that to get some features wanted. It will have:
-3.5 EcoBoost
-4x4 w/locking rear diff
-3.55's (have 3.73's now and i do more highway then towing)
-Crew cab
-5.5' box
-18" tires
-Max Tow
-Max Payload
-Tow mirrors
-Nav system (with sync, voice navigation, etc)
-Side spot lights
-8" dash screen
-panoramic sunroof
-Technology Package (all around cameras and some more goodies)
-leather (blah)
-Magnetic paint Colour (to match the lariat sport rims)
-Tailgate Step
-LED headlights
-Spray in liner
-tried for wheel well inserts but not available yet
-Sony 10 speaker stereo
-FX4 package (comes with hill decent and active parking control and lane keeping etc)
-No rubber floor mats (going to buy good ones anyhow)
-Dual Climate control
I'm sure there is other things I forgot.
Dealer told me sticker is $64k area.
Anyone else order theirs yet??
oh yeah. and no obligation to buy if I don't like or just can't do what I want it to do for towing etc.

I am as excited as anyone about the potential of the 2015 F150 but this article provides a sobering account of the challenges that lay ahead:

There are many unknowns - I personally would not want one of those first trucks that comes off the line.

You'll Love the Ford spray in liner, I have on the New Super Duty, pretty tough stuff! I'm hell on a truck bed, not one issue with mine so far.

Well they just ran 13 trucks monday in the body shop, as a test run,( these truck bodies will not be finished or sold, they are TEST bodies) and Final isnt up and running yet, and the paint shop isnt done with its upgrades for another week. So hopefully they wont have any major bugs with the equipment. December could be a possibility, Realy cool to watch them gut the body shop and the bring in trailer after trailer of equipment to be set up, and then watch the new rivet and bonding process, very cool.

The truck goes into production soon at Ford's Dearborn, Mich., factory, but only ordinary models for dealer inventory will be produced at first, the publication said, citing a confidential letter to dealers.
Some aluminum Ford F-150s will be tardy

Not many people have the opportunity to see and or participate in AMERICAN Manufacturing at its highest level. The immensity of the coordination and implementation of such a complex change-over of a monster plant must involve many trades, contractors, equipment manufacturers I can't even imagine. Are the assembly line Bots in place? how did the aluminum get cut, shaped and riveted? Keep the info flowing.
Fine buy me if dealer inventory gets built and shipped 1st, then I can test drive the two Eco's, compare and give Ford the time to refine the process.
