I know its hard to quantify the increased value of a 15, but for me it's a no-brainer with the measly 8-10k in incentives I'm seeing on the 14's.
-The satisfaction of knowing I will be driving a "current" model truck for the next 10 years (that's how long I intend to own it)
-The increased resale value a 15 will command over a 14 when the time comes
-The increased capability of a 15
-The new class exclusive features in a 15 (Box lights, mirror side lights, remote tailgate release, 360 camera)
-Increased fuel economy
-20 more horsepower (for the 5.0 guys out there like me)


If I tried to value it all up, I'd say that you'd need to take off about 20K in incentives to get my attention... I'd still probably lean towards a 2015.

I just bought a fx4 ecoboost stickering 54k + and got it out the door including ttl, all documents fees, and a $1200 dealer BS package for 30K. 11.5k trade in.

I honestly do not get all the hype about being able to click a button to open the tailgate. Is this what we have come to......seems kinda lazy in my opinion. I think it is more of a cool factor than useful. Now.... I could see integrating the tailgate lock into the power locks to prevent tailgate theft.

I didn't feel like waiting for the 15'. Got a great deal on my 14 fully loaded fx4 (last July). I've driven the new ones and they are impressive, but I still felt no regret going with my 14. My last truck was a low end 2005' Titan. So my 14' feels light years a head with what I used to drive. Either way go what's best with your budget. Resale on these trucks are very good, just take care of them.

I believe you made a smart choice on the 15.

If you had waited until April you probably wouldn't be able to purchase what you wanted.
I also have a 2014 4x4 Lariat. No regrets. Well, maybe one or two. Still happy.
The 2014's are selling because of all the rebates and dealers want to help individuals get into one.

Welcome home in April.
Thank you for your service.

say how far above or below invoice, plus freight and then the incentive types and amounts you got w/o tax factored in-only then we will know what your deal actually was-thanks.
every deal must have a base line or it means nothing to the next guy-this also means the options,pkgs all add-on money that we either guess about or we know-luxury is a general statement not helpful

The deal is probably through military exchange auto service. It wouldn't be a meaningful figure for most on this board as it's only available to military members stationed or deployed outside the continental united states. On the surface it looks to be a few thousand below invoice for a 4x4 Lariat w/ 302A.

This was my offer sheet. It includes a 2k extra warranty which I am removing. Brings the price to 45900 but theres an extra $500 rebate until Monday.
