    My New F-150

    in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum

    Posted · Edited by Bryan1

    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.
