My dealer has one. Didn't expect $48,000. This one has more than the current 402a package. What happened to that big price jump?

1. rear end looks too close to a ram for my liking

2. not big on the rear window look

3. mirrors are a tad too small IMO

4. some controls on the interior are mounted too low IMO

however these are minor things and just my opinion but overall this is a very nice truck with a nice interior and you could really tell where ford made improvments. doors, hood and tailgate all close with a very euro like THUD and dont sound tinny

we do have a KR and lariat on the way..ill be sure to get some pics of them
Would you happen to have a link for the window sticker on that truck? I just got done building one. It was an FX4 packaged XLT with some add-ons. Just looking to compare. Thanks.

Hmm, this truck is lower than my build and priced one. I had the 5.0 and a few less options that I didn't need. Weird. It's a good looking truck though.

ive never seen a fuel charge on a window sticker
fwiw-i saw it here on a truck pic of window sticker and fuel charge was for a tank of gas when prices had started down-just curiosity thing, nothing more

Question for folks. When I sat in the one I took on a test drive (which was a 4x4, not an FX4) it seemed like it sat lower than my '13 STX 4x4. The salesman suggested it was the lowered belt line. I was not entirely sure. What is y'alls opinion?

According to the specs, the 2015 has a HIGHER cab height, than the 2014 when comparing similar cabs, drivetrains, and bed lengths.

Here are the 2014 specs: http://www.fordf150.net/2014/2014-f150-tech-specs.pdf

Here are the 2015 specs: http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/spec...ions/view-all/

I test drove one last week. My 2010 XLT 4X4 was parked beside it. My eyes have me believing the 2015 is a tad shorter too.
