DearbornDerek Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 So DetroitMike the end of the month has past by and we are in May. Wheres the beef? ie do you have any news on 2011 f150 production start? November does seem quite late. Buying at year end does not make economic sense unless you either get a lot of cash on the hood or you have an emergency replacement need. We appreciate your input. Well I have not heard an actual date yet, but we have been running our pre-launch trials through the system for 3 weeks now. I would have to say it will be a normal September launch. It might be the 3.5 EB that launches in November. We have not seen those yet, just the 3.7 and 5.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlh6805 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Maybe they'll finally reveal the new powertrains in the coming weeks. I am really hoping so. If they have available the 6.2L in a King Ranch 4x4 I would like to get my order in as soon as possible!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWR Kid Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Would be nice. But they start making the trucks Nov 22... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenp77 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thats oK I will be waiting until summer to buy one anyway, hopefully all the assembly bugs will be worked out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWR Kid Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Typically, engines start production several weeks before vehicles do. Exactly my point. Engine prod may start Sept which in my mind is about right given trucks start in Nov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastTaurusSHO Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Exactly my point. Engine prod may start Sept which in my mind is about right given trucks start in Nov. I can't believe we haven't heard more solid news about engine choices and output, and other potential features. It's August and still nothing.

CobraCrazy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I can't believe we haven't heard more solid news about engine choices and output, and other potential features. It's August and still nothing. It's driving me crazy as well: I'm trying to decide if I should drop the new 5.0 in my 2002 F150-Reg-cab, stepside which currently has the 4.6 (so I could get a manual !), buy a 6.2 Raptor (love the way it looks, don't really need this much 4X4 though), or wait for the 2011s and try to order a poor-man's Raptor (so I want to know if I can order an STX with the 5.0, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastTaurusSHO Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I want heated and cooled seats, the tow mirrors, max tow package, and the electronic locking axle on a Lariat trim package. What would be really awesome is the power fold feature on the tow mirrors like the Super duty has, but I doubt it will happen any time soon. i can't believe we're still waiting for the order guide one week before the order bank opens for MY2011.

Is it just me or with the new Explorer it seemed like a dozen key "insiders" could provide dates for everything, With the F150, zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndeerefarmer Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Is it just me or with the new Explorer it seemed like a dozen key "insiders" could provide dates for everything, With the F150, zip. I think Ford is holding off as long as possible so as to sell as many 2010's as they can. I figure as soon as the 2011 and its better engines and fuel economy hits the market, it's gonna be tough to sell a 2010 unless they mark them way down. And Power Kid- it seems that all that you and I do are follow each other around on these forums trying to find new info on the 2011's! You keep looking and I will too. If I find anything good I will post it on pickuptrucks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've even got an additional 1,000 dollar end of year incentive on the window sticker of the trucks I've seen, and production of the 2010's has ended correct?

The sales of 2010s and inventory mgmt is nothing new & no suprise. The dates of releases etc have been know for a long time, they havn't changed, its just no one is saying what they are.

There are engineering changes that are being worked in for the '11 model that haven't gone exactly as planned that keep pushing the launch date back. Nothing to do with the powertrains. New rumor is for a launch close to the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
