Why is this? If one can order the larger engine in the lower priced Lariat line why not the top of the line King Ranch? Doesn't make any sense.

 

think its becuse it didnt sale to well? but this is a guess.

 

Ford is getting goofy with what truck "model" can and can't get what engine.

 

What I'd like to know is who are you "Artsbest", and why are you always posting controversial and [useless] information? Always sales figures, can't get this, can't get that...just wondering...

 

You first.

name
address
phone number

 

I think it is a legitimate question and really doesn't sense as to why they don't have the choice available...other than price.

 

Like what is you problem pal? You don't like people nor life then take a long walk off a short pier. The sales figure I posted were from Reuters. Those numbers may in the near future help some F-150 buyer. If you don't agree then go get a job with them if you think they're wrong. The King Ranch question is a legit one whether you agree or not is totally irrelevant to the whole scheme of things. You have nothing of substance to add then just buzz off and do us all a big favor.

 

i think Rodney king said it best CAN'T WE JUST GET ALONG?
ha ha
it was a good question and one that someone was bound to ask so why not artsbest be the one to ask?

 

Truthfully, I really don't think Ford wants to sell any 6.2L engines in F150's for CAFE reasons. They only offer it in certain models because the competition offers engines in that size and power range in a 1/2 ton. I would buy a 6.2L in an XLT in a heartbeat if Ford offered it. It would be perfect for my use. I'm sure a lot of other people would too. But since they don't I just keep driving my 06.

 

I thought Ford already did plenty to preserve its precious CAFE scores by charging a hefty premium for the 6.2 on models it's already available on.

 

They probably did, but limited availability insures their goal is met. There is also the probabilty that there just aren't enough engines to go around since SD's use them as standard equipment. At any rate, Ford can count me as a "lost sale" as I won't settle for anything less than I want. I just won't spend that kind of money and settle for less.

 

I agree, didn't think Mr Art was so sensitive...I was just curious as to why he chooses these particular topics to discuss...

As for walking off a pier, done it a time or two, its quite enjoyable if the water isn't too cold...

Cheers...or should I say...BBBUUUUZZZZZZZZ.....

 

To further the question, has anyone looked at the 2013 order guide?

Turns out you can now get the 6.2 in some of the Supercab models as well, like the Lariat. You can also now get it in the FX-4. Makes no sense why you can't get it in the King Ranch.

 

I agree that it makes no sense why it's not more available. Those of us who use our trucks as trucks would really like the power of the 6.2L. It'll get better fuel economy than the Eco-Boost towing or loaded down. I'm not going to want to use a Lariat for work.

 

Well the good news for 2013 is that the 6.2 is available in the XLT also in the Supercab and the Supercrew. They've broadened its availability into many models across the lineup with the exception of the King Ranch.
