I think you guys are nuts, it looks pretty cool! I do agree the grill and towing mirrors look Tundra-ish on the few pics shown! But wait till they start hitting the Dealer lots, your songs will soon Change!

Not saying I'm going to the dealer this week to order a 15', but as long as my 12' serves me well for 5 yrs 125k miles. I could see a 17' or 18' F-150 is a possibility, for this 1st time Ford buyer!

Also to me the tail lights look to be Recessed to me, as where the Tundras and Rams extrude out from the bed!

I just drive a truck because I want to. Just never got enamored with the trend to make your motor as loud possible. I cruise down the highway and hear nothing. The only time I hear my engine is when it screams to 7k RPM the few times I need to goose it. I hear CAI and mufflers on other trucks and it just sounds stupid as hell to me.

I love how Quiet my Eco is, to each his own! I've owned V8 trucks with dual exaust, and Don't miss it!

Many of my buddies own big V8 or Diesel trucks! All of them are shocked and comment how Quiet my Ecoboost is(most say they can't even hear its Running)!

Yeah my 3.7L has caused 3 people I know to trade their V8s in for Ecoboosts.

I would've bought ecoboost but the price difference after incentive and rebates at the time was nearly 7 grand. Couldn't justify it as I didn't need that and the 3.7 had the console I wanted!

Toddman- I drive a '13 EcoBoost, FX4 as well. Absolutely love the whisper quiet engine. But believe me to hear someone say a V8 sounds stupid is just blasphemy.

Also when you select a different color on the US Ford site, it changes the color of the trucks in the slideshow.

it depends. loud obnoxious exhausts are annoying to me now. but tasteful drone free exhausts that you hear when you get on the go pedal but is otherwise quiet i like.

i had corsas on my mustang gt, was incredible quiet while cruising and under moderate acceleration. but it would sing under full throttle.

Mind boggling, isn't it? I was at a lost for words when I first read that. But, I said it earlier and I'll say it again....different strokes for different folks.

Well I don't hate it, but don't love it either. It is disappointing when I was hoping for an bad az Atlas. But my lease is up sept 2015 so I guess I will have to see then. I was one of the "on the fence" people when the current f150 hit the dealers and learned to love it...
