I agree. More and more makers are changing body styles just as they have perfected the last through TSBs and recalls. Then it all starts again. I would rather have a model that's established.

Thought I was going to do good with 2010 with the established 5.4L but that was the only component that was established. I had trouble with the trans and chassis. Now I'm into a 2012, thanks to a great salesman's work to get me out of the 2010, and so far so good (knock on wood).

Really love the 5.0L.

You still have the same trans and chassis, lol! Glad it's working better for you though. I can't wait to see the 15!

Yeh, but the transmission has been updated with new clutch, program, other items. It's basically the same but updated and longer in the tooth now.

The chassis also has changed. In 2010 they went through different leaf springs and the such (from more thinner leafts to fewer thicker leafs). Also longer in the tooth to take care of bugs and issues.

There testing of the parts, is that the same testing group who designed the CAC system for the Ecoboost. If so, no thanks. They have to give the exterior a manly look for the buyer to forget about the fact that there truck is framed out like a beer can. How do you lighten a truck by 700-750 lbs w/o adding inferior parts like plastics and lighter grade metals. Glad I got the 2013. Might be the last of the real Built Ford Tough trucks.
I see another Super Duty in my future.

This should be an interesting thread come Tuesday once we all get to see the Next Gen F150. Can't wait to hear everyones thoughts, also hoping Ford doesn't dissopoint us. I agree though, I might keep my current 2011 EB until 2016 to give the new model a good year of production to work out the bugs. The 3.5L ecoboost will still be an option and I'm sure the bugs will be out if it by 2016.

THE DETROIT NEWS

BY DAVID SHEPARDSON AND KARL HENKEL

Ford Motor Co. will unveil a concept version of its next-generation F-150 on Tuesday, two people briefed on the matter said.
Did no one read the title and first paragraph? It's a CONCEPT, not the final model.
