F250 6.2 V8 vs F150 Ecoboost

[TheGoose]

I have the 3.55 gears but would prefer the 3.73. My fuel mileage is 15-16 mpg on my '12 EB screw 4x4. The engine feels a little sleepy with the 3.55's until you get into the turbos. I think the 373's would help a little in this aspect.

And the cloth seats vs leather: my drivers side seat is already starting to tear at 50 k miles.

warranty will cover that if you still have warranty. My brother had a leather driers seat replaced on his '05 at under 60,000km

deere5105, there must be something wrong here. I paid $32K X .90 Canada-U.S. exchange rate = $28,800 U.S. for a very similar truck, but even with your dealer's $9500 discount you would still pay $46,635 - $9500 = over $37,000, almost $8,000 more than I paid way back in October 2014 (when the 2015's were not even out yet). And my truck was made in Kansas! Am I missing something here?:confused3:

Here is initial offer made. Stated sticker on truck is $49,500 and can sale for $41,400. Is another $1500 available if trading in current truck. Attached is Suggested Retail Price and Invoice. Truck is a demo with 5700 miles on it. All comments welcome.

They better come off a whole lot more then that! Especially on demo truck. If they won't move on the price of the truck, start working them on your trade in.

One problem is the truck is 400 miles away in another state. Am losing the ability to deal directly. Trade is a 2004 F150 FX4 Crew with leather and 159,000. Will find out Thursday what they will offer on trade. The extra $1500 for trade should help some.

They're only offering you $1500 for your truck? Am I reading that right? That can't be right. Or is an extra $1500 on top of your trade since you're trading in a ford? They'll sell that truck for about $12000-15000 in no time. Just tell them you are very serious about buying and it's up to them whether they close the deal or not but they need to work with you a bit more.

I wasn't clear. It is an extra $1500 Trade Assistance rebate. Hoping to get around $12,000 for my truck.

The rebates vary by your zip code. You need to go to Ford's website and see what rebates are available to you. I think if you go to your regions website, for me it is MidAtlantic Ford they all the rebates. Also if you call Ford and ask them for some literature on the F-150 when it comes there may be a rebate in it for $750 or so. The only problem is it takes a few weeks to get it.
