2016 f150
The 2015 is already dated and lacking. I will be holding out until 2017 :thumbup:

I would be nervous to buy the first year of an 8 or 10 speed tranny. I drove my buddies ram with an 8 speed and it is awesome. Always in a sweet spot of the power curve. It also helps it get the same mpg as the ford does with the aluminum weight reduction.
That being said he has 5k on it and tranny is already acting up. A dodge dealer even told me they are having issues with them. Not sure if this is true but read an article that Ford was having issues with getting the 10 speed to be reliable and pushed it off. |
The other day I drove a '15 Lariat FX4 w/ the ecoboost motor. The transmission in my '12 Ram is dog**** compared to the transmission in the new Fords. I would have no problem with that 6 speed.

Ugh. I used to work in real estate development and now I work for the government, and you might have been joking, but it's not funny.
