Looking to buy a new F150 to replace my 2008. I've seen the Altas F150 in videos from the Auto Show. At one point I read that for wasn't going to have a 2014 model and the new design would be a 2015 but coming out 6 months earlier than it normally would in the fall of 2014.

Now I read that there will be a 2014 in the normal time frame and the new design 2015 would be out at normal time. Has anyone here heard any reliable scoop on just when the next new design would be coming out. Thanks

 

Consumer Guide's Impressions of the 2015 Ford F-150 by Jim Gorzelany

The U.S. auto industry’s top selling model among all vehicle types, the full-size Ford F-150 pickup truck (2013 model shown above) is scheduled to receive a major redesign for the 2015 model year that could begin to reach dealers’ showrooms by midyear 2014. While the new F-150 is expected to make extensive use of lighter-weight materials and employ myriad design elements and technologies to help increase its fuel economy, we don’t expect the next generation truck will be downsized or otherwise radically recast. The 2015 F-150 will likely remain a big and burly-looking truck with bold and purposeful styling that features a full assortment of cab styles, wheelbases, and bed lengths. Trim levels will likely range from work-truck basic to full-blown luxury posh to suit most any pickup buyer. We anticipate it will continue to come powered by a range of powerful V6 and V8 engines, with several new features being added to the already exhaustive list of available amenities.

Whether it is credible or not I have no idea. Everything I have heard so far has pointed to the 2015's as the redesign year.

 

I've not seen anything credible to suggest that the 2015 will come out earlier than normal. The 2015's are supposed to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January, we may get more info then.
