that depends on what they offer.
Is ford willing to build me a truck worthy of buying?
Massive power, stick shift, 2 wheel drive, reg cab with 6.5 foot box, electric locking diff, comfy seats, pounding stereo and ill buy one for sure.
Give me only some cheesy little 6 cylinder engine, and no stick, and i am out.
Will buy a used dodge srt10 instead.

I wish they would build a work truck. 8' bed, small diesel, comfortable but not plush interior, 4wd, 3/4 ton capacity, and affordable. Something I can put dirt or lumber in without worrying. Instead they market high end trucks to people who don't use them as trucks or will lease forever. Keep the pile of chrome and macho look. That was fine when I was 20, but now I have a business, bills, family, etc.

1st I bought a 13 with the 3.5 turbo,when pulling the truck for the most part will stay in 5th and will suck the gas out faster than a tax man after your wallet.Empty the trucks goes pretty good but lacks the cubes at the top end,I have no mods on it and the mileage will stay 11-12 and maybe 14.So I bought a 14 fx4 with a 6.2,the last one I North America with 3700 kms on it,now it has about 6000 kliks on it.The 6.2 will pull the trailer as well as the turbo but the 6.2 won't keep hunting for gears as much as the turbo does.There is no substitute for cubes as the 6.2 will tear the tires off,but the turbo has good 3/4 throttle go.Ford did a major f--kup by dropping the 6.2.I don't feel like driving around with a screaming engine to produce HP,WTF are they thinking?I'll drive the 13 turbo to the ground and I'll save the 6.2 in the shop for a future driver and I'll install the supercharger(waiting in boxes) next couple of years and have a toy to blow the doors off the crap that is up coming.The Dodge boys have a 6.4 that looks promising,I'll walk across the road and check them out.
