Ok, I'm confused about sticker prices.

Examples,

Ford F150 502A packages range $6995 to $7795

Ecoboost ranges $400-$1400

This makes no sense.

 

The price differences are due to different standard equipment. It's 6,995 on a SCREW 6.5 bed and 7,795 for a SCREW 5.5 or a SCAB 6.5. The $800 price difference is the automatic inclusion of the 5.0 V8 (an $800 option) on the SCREW 6.5, where the other configurations have the 2.7 EB as the base engine. Same thing for the 3.5 EB upgrade cost; you're starting from a different point on the tree, so the jump is different.

Those prices are fluid as far as the actual effect on the price of the truck anyway, so they aren't really meaningful in any real way anyway. For instance, the FX4 package is listed as $770 on my window sticker, but to configure my truck the same less FX4, the price only drops $330, because I already have the 3.73 e-locker separately. Same thing for 502a; it didn't really add $6,995 to my sticker price because of my other choices on the truck.

 

That's because there are 4 engines.. 3.5 V6, 2.7 EB, 5.0 V8, and 3.5 EB.

The 3.5 EB is the top of the line engine and the 3.5 V6 is the cheapest. The 3.5 V6 is standard, the 2.7 EB cost a bit more, the 5.0 V8 costs more than the 2.7 EB, and the 3.5 EB is the most expensive of all.

Some configurations, the 2.7 EB is the standard so the 5.0 V8 and 3.5 EB are cheaper since it's a smaller jump from the 2.7 EB compared to the basic 3.5 V6.

The long bed has the 5.0 V8 standard, no 3.5 V6 or 2.7 EB. The 3.5 EB costs a little more than the 5.0 V8 and the price reflects that because it's not going four steps up from the cheapest V6.

 

Don't get all bogged down with individual prices, it'll make your head spin. Find a truck you love and work on the bottom line / OTD. Out the door price.

 

I'm not really. Truck is on the dealers location and is to be moved today. Only thing is I have to drive 200 miles to get it. I have been dealing with Covert in Hutto Tx for years and still go the extra mile. Gives me a chance to see my oldest.

 

My 2016 XLT 4X4 Work Truck 8' bed has the 3.5 NA as standard. 2.7 and 5.0 EB & 3.5 EB cost more.

 

Sound right. In my case, the 3.5 Ecoboost was a cheap option since my configuration required a 5.0 V8. In your case, the 3.5 Ecoboost would be a more expensive option since you're going from the 3.5 V6.. there's 2.7 EB, the 5.0 V8, and the 3.5 EB.

 

I own a landscape Co and the 3.5 NA'a are work horses for us, Great MPG's and they pull 16' loaded tandem trailers loaded all day. We had problems with the 3.5 EB Turbo failure over 80,000 and the 5.0's were gas hogs when trailering.

 

How many trucks did you have Turbo failure's on?

 

Just a couple but enough to stick with what was working for us..

 

I've not heard of any failures at such low miles before. Actually, I've yet to have a customer replace a turbo yet.

 

Good for you

 

What was defined as the cause for the Turbo failure at such low miles, were you able to find out?

 

I'd have to go back a see if I still have repair orders for the trucks that were traded @ 61 My memory isn't as reliable as it once was. Don't really remember. I'm sure I would have made a note on the invoice.
