The latest information regarding the new 2014 or maybe 2015 F-150 was announced this morning. It looks like we'll see the addition of 2 new engines and quite a few nice features we've all been waiting for.
-Heated Steering wheel
-Extensive use of Aluminum
-multi contour seats like the SHO/MKS
-360 degree camera
-Active park assist
-LED box lighting
-tailgate dampener
-box with storage for ramps
-remote unlocking tailgate
-LED headlamps
-Active grille shutters
-stop start technology
-AND MORE...
As far as engines the 5.0L v8 and the 3.5L ecoboost are here to stay and are rumored to have increased fuel economy ratings along with more towing capacity thanks to the use of aluminum. They will be joined by a 2.7L V6 ecoboost 320hp/375 ft/lbs and a 3.5 N/A entry level v6 280hp/250 ft/lbs.
For those of you wanting a 6.2l V8 now is your time to go out and get one or order one before they are a thing of the past.
I wanted to share this with you guys first and we're looking forward to what the next generation of F-150's have in store for us.

Well looks like if anyone wants a 1/2 ton diesel they are going to have to buy a Nissan or a Toyota. Nissan is expecting to come out with one in the Titan in 2014 and Toyota in the Tundra in 2014 or 2015. Toyota hasn't been clear on their release date. Nissan has already been testing the Cummins in theirs since 2010.

You know the titans arent bad trucks. I knew a guy that got one when they first came out and it was nice. A cummins would be great.

Meaner than ymeski56
I don't know much on anything other than I shared. We had a comparison sheet come out comparing the 2014 Chebbys and F-150s and it had 2 columns for the F-150. P415 and P552. P552 is the code for the 2014-2015 F-150's and what we can expect as available new equipment. So what you see is what you get for now.
When I see the new order guides come out in a few months I'll post up anything different.I'm going to say no on factory level kits. It's hard enough pulling the older crowd from the low rider 2 wheel driving looking 4x4 chevs in the NW to our Fords, due to the height getting in. Thankfully AMP's Power running boards are $1500 installed and drop 5.5" lower than factory tube steps. Making our Fords work for just about everyone.
As far as body changes go I would expect with the extensive use of aluminum there will be slight changes. I was surprised to see LED headlamps listed when we just go the first HID headlamps... I'm not sure what that's all about. Maybe just a leak mistake...
It's been great seeing all the changes that have happened in 2011+ and I can't wait to see what the future holds. I find it interesting things like the led bed lights many of you have added on here are things we'll see as standard equipment in the future. Lots of good info here on F150forum.

Nothing wrong with the amenities of a car in your truck IMO. I rarely tow over 5-6000 pounds and really don't tow that often in general. I need the box for my side-work on weekends. I could put ladders on the roof of an suv, but the open bed is much more useful. I drive my truck to work everyday and enjoy the car-like amenities in traffic and on the highway... or while hauling something... yes its a little big for the city but I like the room and overall id say my f150 is the best of every world. It even gets decent mileage-- the best of any vehicle I've owned (3 150s 2 mustangs and an old ram) Nothing wrong with ford building a vehicle to satisfy the needs of someone in my position. When I had two cars, I had an xlt power windows and locks and a chrome package. Great truck. Still drove nice and I enjoyed it. But then I sold my mustang and its nice to still have a vehicle with features in it to drive around in.
Just my opinion
