    Top 10 Pickup Truck Sales in September 2010

    "If we want the small truck market to come back in the U.S., than the chicken tax has to be repealed for that segment. It hasn't saved domestic manufacturing jobs and it hurts consumer choice when a model is no longer offered. If the chicken tax went away, I bet we'd see several small diesel pickups come in."

    My New F-150

    Lol. This guy kills me. Wants a PIN for a Taurus SHO or Limited, drives away in an F-150. Go figure. :)

     

    Are you angry that he used a pin on a XLT F-150? Do you get a limited amount of pin numbers? I imagine he could have gotten the same deal or better without wasting the pin number.

    The bottom line is they have come up with a solution to fix the problem. There is a procedure to remove the plugs trouble free. If one sticks following this procedure, they have a special tool to remove it. It really isn't a big deal anymore.

     

    My truck is coming up on a spark plug change next month and I am not worried about it. Also, this removal issue only applied to the 3v engines so using total F-series sales is not accurate.

    Ford Gets Aggressive Closing Out 2010 F150s

    The $7500 is only in certain markets like Chicago (not in mine) and includes a bunch of hoops that really only bring it down to $3500. For instance, this deal was intended only for only the XLT model with the Chrome Synch Tow package and a million other hoops. They give you an extra thousand off for XLT SCT, but the package will cost you an extra $1060 so you aren't saving anything in the end. End result? $3500. And I don't think too many fleets are buying XLT F150's with chrome packages for $2060 to save $1000.

     

    Best I can do in my area is $5500 but like the example above it is really only $2500 customer cash + $1000 Bonus cash = total $3500.

     

    For the full $5500 they include an extra thousand if I have a tradein but I don't consider that any extra as I have to accept the tradein price and they can just mark down the tradein an extra $1000 to if they want to, and there is an extra $1000 if I finance through Ford but like D said only if I quality and at who knows what rate.

     

    I'm not in the military and not in the police so no savings there. Upfit assistance - you have to be a commercial business and put $1200 worth of commercial stuff (salt spreaders, graphics, etc) on your truck - the average person does not do that.

     

    So in conclusion the "massive" incentives are really only $3500. and I know you can spend a lot more on F-series trucks than Tundras so the extra thousand in rebates is meaningless. Jason, you have failed.

    Ordered 2011 F-150

    Page 4 of the new order guide shows 36 gallon tanks standard on all 4x4 models, and 26 gallon tanks standard on all 4x2 models.

     

    The order guide I have seen also says EcoBoost "includes 26 gallon fuel tank", but does not say if all EcoBoosts do. The chart on page 4 lists 4x4 with 36 gallon tanks, but does not differentiate for EcoBoost which they previously said includes a 26 gallon tank.

     

    Thus the question. Does someone know for sure that the 4x4 EcoBoost comes with the large 36 gallon tank? That is what I am hoping for and hoping someone who works for Ford can answer. Thanks.
