2015 F150 Price Estimate..

2015 F150 Price Estimate..
So I saw the pictures of the new F150 as almost all of you have... I immediately thought, I gotta have it! I have been considering going to Platinum, however still considering an FX4. I figured I would get in touch with my dealership and ask them to call me when order books open..
However, I thought about price.. I thought, hmm a good estimate in increase would be to look at the last major update from 2008 to 2009... Looking at the high-end model then (Lariat 4X4 Screw) the price increase from 08' to 09' was just about $9,000...
Well looking at the current base price of a 2014 Platinum 4X4 at just a hair over $50,000... This same increase would put the 2015 Platinum 4X4 would just just about $60,000... Which to be is getting a little crazy... But then I have the question of competing with Dodge and Chevy which both have a fully loaded, high-end model toping out at just about $52,000 (same as current Platinum) and were both just updated for 2014.. However, neither can compete with Ford..
So this leads me to wondering could a 2015 Platinum really cost $60,000... I love my F150 but I believe when we are getting up over $60,000 I would soon find something I would much rather have in that price range (C7 Vette, GT500, ZL1, BMW...etc)
Does anyone else have an input in what they believe to be the price increase?

All I can say is ford knows what they're doing and a platinum is an f150 regardless therefore it's still their bread and butter and they're still going to sell a lot. I agree there are a lot more expenses but they do have to price competitively and appropriately as a lot of people are making less money. They've done a lot of things to save money too though so id say don't work yourself up about it yet, they know what they're doing

My 2013 FX4 stickered for $55,800. A comparable GMC Sierra stickers for $59,900, An equivelent 2015 FX4 will likely sticker for about $62,000-$65,000, in which case Ford will likely offset the higher price with better rebates. At least I hope so, otherwise my '13 will be the nicest truck I'll ever own.

This is my fear. I never thought I would buy a $50,000 truck. And now that I've gone Platinum, I would have to go there on the new one. If it is pushing $60,000, I would just have to rethink that. Not sure if my X-Plan pricing and rebates will get me to a price I am comfortable with...

Why would it have a 10,000 price increase? That is un realistic. It will go up maybe a grand.
Why do you need a platinum model?
Trading in a 2013 you will take a bath in thousands of dollars anyhow.
