ECO-what?
WHOA.
My dealer is having a massive sale on three remaining F150 Screw FX4 Ecoboost trucks. $11k off plus another $1k trade in.
I'm going after work to test drive a beautiful white one with the dark headlights.
I want to see what all this talk is about the ECO.
If it's worth it I may trade in my 5.4L I just bought.

Don't do it, you're going to end up buying one. Your 2010 is still new and you will take a bath on the trade in. Good luuck though.

Hahaha!
I paid cash for my 2010 and it was used with 25k miles.
I wish I had waited--I could have bought a new truck for the price I paid for my damn used one.

Then I would suggest you do what I would do. Do what makes you happy. Good luck my friend.

Mac Haik in Georgetown.
I'm going to look at a white 2011 F150 Super Crew ECO FX4 with cloth.
They got two whites, one with leather/backup cam, and one with cloth/no back up cam--both FX4 ECO. Dark silver with 5L leather, backup cam, etc.
I will NOT buy leather in Texas, it's too f'n HOT here for that crap. My old Audi had leather and I was dying for two years.

Isn't that crazy? We think alike.
How's that 5.0 treating you? Last time I had a 5.0 was in a 93' Mustang hatchback.

I need to pay more attention. I just now notice they are FX4's and I don't want or have a need for a 4 wheel drive.

Who can discuss pricing?
A $40,000 sticker price on an F-150 gives an invoice price about 10% below that, so that's $4000. The advertised Ford rebates are around $2500 or so.
So how does this dealer sell these trucks for another $4000 or more off?
Or better yet, should we expect this kind of pricing now from any dealer?

I bought it.
$31,800.
2011 F150 Supercrew FX4 Ecoboost
I'm in love! The damn thing has MORE power than my 5.4L Triton WITH a damn tuner. I should have bought one of these from the get go.
I got $30k for my 2 month old 2010 F150.
That's my old truck beside it!
I'll have more pics when I get back--I need food.

I love the White F150's. That's a beautiful truck. I’ll bet you’re proud of that one.
