A fun poll

It's been about a month or so since the 2015 was unveiled. We've all had some comment and even started a new forum in it's honor. We know that the 6.2L and the 3.7L are gone, the n/a 3.5L is in, the 2.7L ecoboost is in and the existing 5.0L and 3.5L EB siblings remain. The frame is high strenght steel and remainder of the driveline is untouched.

So, who's getting one? and who's completely opposed?

I think the new truck has some cool features and has a nice look to it with the tail lights etc. The 360 degree cameras are cool too. I will be keeping my 2013 and am very happy with it. (besides the vibration issue)

I think some of the things on the new truck can be implemented on the older models...but time will ultimately tell for that.

I'm in for maybe. By the time the 15's hit the local lots, my 11 will be over 100K and I'll be ready for the next truck. And since Ford appears to have made some changes to allow us half ton owners plow again. I just might go this route.

Not opposed, but here are the facts: My '13 only has 7500 miles on it, it will be paid off in early spring. It is doing everything I ask it to do and not complaining. There is no "must have" feature on the '15 for me. As it is I am satisfied with the basics of the STX model I have. I'll keep what I got

I am looking forward to the reviews on the '15, and seeing what it has to offer.

My name is Tom and I'm a car-a-holic.

Seriously, I've gone through ten brand-new cars over the last twelve years. And I HATE that...after a year or two with a car or truck I get bored with it and are after the next big thing. I'd love to get my hands on a '15 F150, but I'm seriously trying to amend my expen$ive ways and keep this one for awhile. If I were in the new truck market at the end of the year I'd have no qualms picking up a new 2015. I expect the second generation Ecoboost engines will be in them, and with cooled EGR and some other nifty tech they should be good for a noticeable increase in fuel economy.

Hopefully I'll have this one until 2020 or so, but we all know how likely that is.

I've only owned my F-150 for 5 weeks, so I fully plan to keep it a long long time.... I'm happy with it, looks, performance, etc Although, I do think the '15's will be ok.

I know the feeling.
I have $500.00 in bets right now that I don't keep my Ecoboost for 3yrs.. Family & friends know me well...

I personally would love to be one of the first in line for the 15 truck. However I lost my job back in June and still have been able to get another yet. So I'll most likely have to wait awhile. No big deal. But I've been wanting a new truck for along time now. I never did like the Expy. I own. That was my wife's choice. I love my older trucks. But I want a new one for the towing capabilities, and for extended road trips.

I'm a pretty big believer in letting somebody else work the "bugs" out.
That and my 2012 only has 27,000 miles on it......

Really????

Iʻm still married and she wants to buy a house.........

Paradise is getting pricier by the day, My poor Bronco needs some TLC and a solid front end.

I really like the photos of the Superdutys and F150s that I have seen.


BTW, I saw a new/currrent model F150 with a Flareside bed, but I do not see the option on the "Build Your Own" section on

the Ford Website, any ideas?

I'm in for 2016. My F250 has 111k problem free miles on it and I'm thinking I don't any longer need the added capacity. Looks like I'll be able to double my miserable fuel economy if I opt for the eb 2.7 or whatever the small displacement V6 is. And I really like the Atlas like look of the new body style.

Must have been a 2009. That was the last year they made the flareside.

I am looking at replacing my '01 next spring and I would consider getting a '15, but the wallet will most likely dictate getting a '11-'13.

It was a current front end, but the bed did look like from that era.

The owner probably installed the bed on a newer truck. It looked okay, but to each his own. I hope to see the truck again, and

if I do, I will take a picture of it.
