Default Should I trade or wait?

I own a 2013 screw XL 2wd f150 right now. All kinds of additional stuff that I have added. My question is... Well simple, found a 2014 Lariat 4wd with 8500 miles on it. Same color, but loaded up with all that nice stuff I really wanted.... Or should I wait on the 3.2L Powerstroke that I'm sure Ford is putting in there 2016 F-150..... All my aftermarket parts will fit the 2014, and I would have to buy everything new for the 2016... I'm very torn on what to do! Advise needed.

I wait for the 2016. But don't hold your breath on the Powerstroke in an F150.

If $$ delta makes sense for budget, I'd be all over that 2014. Is it 5.0 or 3.5?

Well do you need 4 wd soon? That's what would sway me. I think the likelihood of. Diesel in an f150 next year is zero... So if that's why you are waiting, don't. Also, the move to the new body style will come with a substantial cost. Same engines (except 2.7), same transmission but some more doodads but with a 5-10k higher otd new price than this generation was....

No link! Just feel with Nissan and Ram both having diesels, and Ford is dragging there feet on the release of the 2016 F-150.... It's time! There blowing out the 2.7EB because the 3.2L Powerstroke will put those MPG numbers to shame... I'm going out on a limb here and guessing 31MPG on the highway. 22MPG city. Just me think outside the box.

2016 orders will begin in a few weeks, IIRC... they would have announced it a long time ago if a diesel was coming... don't hold your breath...
