Doo Dad Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The lease on my 2007 F150 runs out in February. I was hoping to see something new under the hood but I guess that wont happen. Should I stretch things somehow to get to MY 2011 or just stay on track and get a 2010? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between, Coyote, EB & possible Boss good things are coming... They're just a couple years late. Any one of those should be considerably better than current options. Only problem is based on info that floated around 2-3 weeks ago, the MY 2011 F150 only starts production late @ mid Nov 2010. So we gotta wait another 15-16 months min until they're on the lots.... SUX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if I drive this one for 3-5 years hopefully the new engines will have proven themselves and it gives Ford time to work out any bugs that might come up in their production.

I've seen quite a few '09 & '10 models on the road, I'm getting antsy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that I waited a few years on the 6-speed transmission on my Explorer, because the bugs have been worked out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doo Dad Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Had to try an EcoBoost so I test drove a Flex yesterday. Very impressed. Pulled strong and would certainly fit the bill for my towing needs. Also gives me 6 passengers when/if needed. Downside is that I have to buy a Limited here in the great white north to have the engine. I was getting AWD anyway. Hoping to see some incentives come along to help with the difference. I don't want this thing to cost more than my pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer you wait, the more time the Obama administration has to make emissions so strict that you won't want the truck you can get in 2012. It looks like it is happening in 2012 in CA.

Doo Dad Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Last time I looked at fordvehicles.com you can get the SEL with EB. Maybe it's an Alaska thing. It is a US thing from what I can see. In Canada it is only available in the Limited AWD. Of course the Limited here is missing the navigation as standard but still costs way more. I'm at $1,400 for shipping and the thing is built an hour from my home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
