I can honestly tell you before owning the current generation of the f150 the 1st thing I thought was how hideous at first glance I thought it was when I saw it and then once I test drove one I realized how nice the inside was and how the ride was so smooth and just over all it was a better built truck then the competition it felt like light years ahead of Chevy,dodge, and Toyota.now I can honestly sit here and say that the current generation (09+) that I first thought was ugly and hideous is probably the prettiest and nicest truck out there. Now I have a feeling a lot of people are going to hate this truck because it looks different but you know what I actually happen to like the truck cause I know once I test drive it I'm going to love it just like my 2010 and lets be honest a lot of you hated the 2009-2014 f150 first time you saw it but then after you probably test drove it you probably ended up buying it just like me.

That's the sound of 09-14 resale values dropping by quadruple digits.

I think it looks cool.
Huge weight savings, another awesome motor to the lineup.
Can't wait to see more of it.

I usually don't like new body styles when they first come out, but I actually like this one a lot. Can't wait to see these in person

I saw in one article no FX4 offering. That's not cool IMO. No word on Raptor model.

Quote..,

ord F-150 trucks equipped with EcoBoost engines also will benefit from standard Active Grille Shutters. Active Grille Shutters stay open when extra engine cooling is needed, such as during low- speed stop-and-go driving or while working in hot weather. They automatically close to reduce aerodynamic drag at cruising speed.

Or to prevent the truck from creating and ingesting water.

Not a fan.......

They "Tundrized" the F150. Maybe it will grow on me, but right now the folks at Ram and GM have to have a smile on their faces.

Kinda looks like a mini 6.4 Super Duty. I have to see different packages to really give an opinion on whether I like it or not.

Took the words from me. This is for all of you guys that are hating the 15 now, you will buy one sooner or later and scream from the roof tops about how much you love it, and brag about how far away you have to park everywhere you go so nobody can park next to your baby.


I'm simply admitting now that I like the new body truck. 09-14 was great in everyway but Ford has to do what they've done best and keep raising the bar every 4-5 years and leave the competition scrambling to keep up. It has worked for Ford (trucks) for a long time, this is no different.


PS: The King Ranch interior looks gorgeous!

FX series as a stand alone model looks to be gone... I hate that it has to be an option now on one of the other trims... Looks like I'll be saving money on new trucks in the near term since it looks like this won't be available till late this year.

Now I have to load up a lariat, add sport pack and the FX series... I'm going to bet that is north of 55k...

I do love the interior though!
