Since you have a 2013 why not wait for 2017 when they are supposedly going to do a full redesign. You will no doubt want to trade again when that comes out and it will be far more worth it. I have to give my 2010 up at the end of this month. I desperately looked at other options as I have been very dissappointed by my 2010, but unfortunately nothing compares for size and value for my needs. My dealer gave me a great deal so I ended up ordering a 2014 as I need a vehicle immediately and the thought of driving mine past the extended warranty period was a gamble I don't want to take. As much as I would have liked to have waited for the 2015, I don't know that the wait would have been justified given the increased costs for some mostly cosmetic changes. I have already asked the dealer to book me for the repainting of the hood and tailgate and called the local paving company to get ready to re pave my driveway when the axle seal leaks. Hopefully my 14 will not leak water in the rear window, I gave up trying to fix it after 5 unsuccessful attempts to fix by changing the seal on my 2010, still leaks today.

LOL, sippin on Expedition Hater-aide?
60 HP and 65 ft/lbs of torque more than the current 5.4 motor. The EB makes more torque at 2000 rpm than the 5.4 makes max. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but a few million F150 owners might disagree. That power difference alone is worth the price of admission for me. I've used the manual shift option, particularly handy when towing. Extremely minor front makeover? Isn't all sheet metal in front of the windshield new? Not sure about the comments on the GPS, etc., you must be the only one to have actually seen/used it, please share with the rest of us it's new features. As for being no different than the 2007, seems to me that the 2015 is an order of magnatude more different from the 2014 than your 2008 is from it's predecessor the 2006.

For those of you looking into getting a 2015, pay attention to the axle options. If Ford is still offering the 3.73 and the 3.31, AND you don;t intend to tow heavy, the 3.31 feel great with the ecoboost and your wallet will thank you at the pumps.

I had 3.73's in my 2005 and loved them. When I bought my 2013 I really thought I wanted 3.73s again and looked for weeks with no luck. Then realized that 1st gear is really short in the new transmissions and got the standard 3.31s. Even with them, I find myself taking off from a start (manually) in 2nd gear frequently. Just seems more enjoyable rather than have a 1-2 shift 20 feet from the intersection. And my Expedition has a hesitation mid way through 1st gear when accelerating modestly. For me, unless the transmission ratios changed, I would avoid 3.73s
Thanks
Thanks
