    Let's talk about the changes

    The build and price online for Ford gives buyers the chance to really decide what they want. I spent too much time there in 2012. It seems to me that small price increases have been reported and lots of new features have been added. Yet many of the features that truck owners need are now also an extra charge--like trailer hitch and towing package on the XL. It seems to me that the price has gone up 3-4 thousand--not hundreds.

    I am just curious what others think of the price increases and what is included.

    there's a lot of standard features added to the higher trims I think.....plus prices like to go up.

    I don't mind the hitch deal....some people only use the bed, some drive trucks like cars. not every truck had a tow package and proper hitch before either. I can deal with that.

    I'd pay extra for the 15 over the 14 annyway. better truck in so many ways

    I agree with you. I might wait for the glitches, that seem to always happen, to get resolved.

    I checked: The upgrade from 2-14 was 1000 for 5.0--Now 1595 + 595
    was 2395 for eco--now 2295 - 100

    The 2.7 l is 705 over the base 3.5. The kicker when I bought the 5.0 was a 750 rebate on the motor

    that's stupid. I don't think thy did anything with the 3.5 and the 5.0. Besides the price
