Should I wait for a 15?

I was in the same boat and just pulled the trigger on a 14. Invoice - $5500 in rebates plus they put good money in my 05 Duramax. I'm always leery of new technology, I'll wait out the aluminum body a few years. That and probably $6-7k more for 1 mpg, not worth it.

Hi guys, I currently have a 2007 Black 2 tone Lariat 2wd F150 with pretty much everything but the Navigation. it has 109k miles on it right now and I'm looking for a new truck. I can get a 2014 Fx4 402a for fairly cheap right now, but I'm wondering if it is worth to buy an essentially 6 year old truck when the new one is around the corner. Looking at paying $30,000 out the door for a ~$500/ month payment. Trade is valued at $11K in October, and I do have access to Xplan. Thanks

The details have gotten shuffled around quite a bit, and the way you end up with certain setups like FX4 is different, but to ME, for the truck I'm likely to order, it doesn't seem to have changed much from '14 to '15. You can't compare transaction prices on a '14 to list prices on a '15, that's not a realistic comparison. I've posted essentially the same thing before:
Trying to build a similar truck the way I'll likely order my 2016, I built 2014 and 2015 Supercrew 5.5' box 2WD Ecoboost Lariats with 502A (Lariat Luxury), Max Tow, spray-in bedliner, wheel-well liner and the tailgate step. For 2015, 502A includes the Lariat Chrome pkg but it doesn't seem to for 2014, so I included that. The MSRP difference before the 2014's incentives is $610 ($50,155 for the '14 vs $50,765 for the '15.) That's with the $325 box-side steps added to the 2015 that aren't listed for a 5.5' box '14, and the optional larger fuel tank at $195 on the '15, so the net difference is really more like $90, and for that $90 you get Max Tow with the 3.55 diff (hopefully returning slightly better mileage than the 3.73), the LED lighting package, a driver-side A-pillar handle, blind-spot detection, the 120v inverter outlet, and hopefully a bit more payload with the lighter truck. Of course you get all the little rolling changes and upgrades to controls and such too.
The '14s have incentives and dealers want to clear that inventory, so if you need a truck this week that's probably the way to go. By the time I buy in early 2016 they'll likely have normal incentives on the aluminum truck.

All this FUD about the pricing...

This was something I was wondering as well, is the 15 new enough to justify buying new or could I go get a last gen used or at a steal new and be just as happy with it. Honestly after driving a few 15s at the drive event, no way would I buy anything else. Loved every one I drove XLT to KR. Will be going after an XLT myself with grey interior. Jury is still out on 2.7 or 5.0 as I couldnt drive a 5.0. That 2.7 has some ***** though and the group there said they were seeing 25-26 hwy.

You know, I was all worked up about getting a new 2015 when they came out, but I have been looking around and there are killer deals to be had on real nice 2014's out there, and so maybe that's the way I'll end up going. Still waiting on the EPA numbers to come out, but even with improvement, the price of the 2014s may make up the incremental fuel costs...

you should wait for the 2016 when they put in a new trans or 2017 and then they will have all the trans bugs workout. lol
