If you bought the truck at $27,142, then your price was $9,698 off of MSRP. Which is still a very good deal, congratulations on that. The incentives are really high right now. I'm looking at an F150 XLT, Crew Cab, Total MSRP is $38,645, the dealer has it at $26,024 internet sales price. That is $12,621 off of actual MSRP.
This deal does require that you have a trade in ($1,500 trade allowance), and you do have to finance with Ford Credit (which is going to stick you for about 4.9% interest, when my credit union is financing at 1.99%). Still and all, a hell of a deal.
Well, this might be the weekend I buy something. Also, seeing NE Ford dealer ads for zero percent for 60 plus 1500 off. Have yet to confirm with a dealer though.
I believe I said it had a package discount of $1750.00? Not all F150s have the $1750.00 discount so I counted it as a discount. I was not trying to miss lead anyone. Package discount or rebate who cares? The original price before discounts is the original retail price.
I am looking for the following and reaching out as far as Maryland and Texas....
4X4 Super crew
V8 5.0 with 3.73 (Only) or
V8 6.2 with 3.55 or 3.73 (need towing capacity over 9000) - not interested in Ecoboost
Ruby Red preferred w/ Black Interior leather (but open)
Equipment Group 700A
Drop In Bedliner
Tailgate step would be nice
Dont care about moonroof or skid plates
Might entertain financing if it makes it cheaper.
I wouldn't do that, personally. Yes, I know, you can get a F150 rated to tow that much, but I would feel much more confident, much safer, using an F250 or F350. I'll go further and say I wouldn't try this without getting the diesel engine. Really, really big difference.
What are you going to be pulling, a 5th wheel travel trailer or ?? I would recommend that you get on one or more of the many RV sites out there, ask around, get some advice from people who are actually doing what you are thinking of doing.
We just bought a 32 foot RV Travel Trailer and looking for info about which truck we need
to pull that. It weighs about 5500 dry weight. I think we need about 6000 lbs tow capacity plus
add 1000 lbs for safety cushion.
I tested the 2011 Ford F150 with the Eco-boost and it was nice, drives sweet but did not tow anything. I am wondering if it would be better to go with a little older 2009-2010 F150 with the 5.0L V-8 instead?
Please advise.
Thanks,

You can look at this forum and form your own opinion on the ecoboost. As far as used I just bought a new XLT 5.0 and got over $11,000.00 off sticker. I believe since this is the last year for this model you will be hard pressed to find a better deal on a used F150 with low miles. I am getting 19mpg with mixed driving with my truck (1600 mi)
Does anyone know what engine can tow 6,500 lbs and get the best fuel economy and the most power for the buck / price?
What engine and gear ratio do you think I should get?
What year Ford F150 truck would work best?
But you're probably going to do it anyway, so ....
If you get the 5.0 V8, then you want as much gearing as you can get. Which would be the 3.73 gears. If you spend the +/- $2,700 additional for the eco-boost, then that becomes much less important. (The turbo charged engine has much more torque at lower RPM, making steep gears unnecessary.)
Check out this web page:

Basically I'd like the bare minimum of a F150 with a bit of warranty remaining. Other than that, I am just looking to spend as little as possible since I have only very basic needs in a truck or (or vehicle to begin with).
Thanks,
David
Anyway, sales price for new 2013 F150s in our Saturday paper are in the $11k under MSRP range. Rural upstate Elmira NY; Simmons Rockwell "with Ford credit and trade assist" has a list that fills 1/2 the page with supercabs and crewcabs. 3 examples: crewcab XLT 4x4 MSRP $41, 885, asking $30, 999, Lariat Crew Eco MSRP $56, 425, asking $43, 999, supercab 4x4 MSRP $39, 300 asking $26, 999.
List seems too long to be a scam I think, but have never dealt with this dealership. Planning to run an auction for
2013 crew cab in January. If history is a guide, should get another $1k off the advertised prices.
Are the discounts listed before tax, tag and title?
Just got a supercrew xlt with convenience package for 27500 OTD, MSRP 37300, roughly 10k off. No trade in rebate.
I am a little confused on Edmunds true cost to own. I think the system is flawed. Take my new f150 that Edmunds says is going to depreciate $19,909 in 5 years. It also says that total cost to own will be $53,547 to own for 5 years. Then I look up a 2008 f150 (5 years old) plug in my model 75,000 miles and Edmunds says its worth $12,954. well my math says that a truck that I paid $27,000 (big rebates) really cost me $14,046 in depreciation in 5 years. That is almost a $6000.00 difference. I think the true cost to own should have a spot to enter for rebates.
True cost to own includes finance charges, insurance, maintenance, repairs.. etc, etc, etc... not just depreciation.

I understand that but is the $19,909 that Edmunds predicts my 2013 F150 will depreciate in 5 years starting with the sticker price if the truck? In my case $38,000 if it is then it is a flawed system because Ford and Chevy give $10,000 rebates where Toyota only gives $2000 rebates so of course the Toyota will when on depreciation. In real life I only paid $27,000 for my $38,000 truck so if it depreciates $19,909 like Edmunds says that means in 5 years my truck is worth $7000.00? I don't think so brother. The Edmunds way is depreciating money that I never spent in the first place. I just think to get the true depreciation you should subtract rebates from the price or have a place where the researcher can plug in a real price paid. That would get the true cost of ownership.
I've been mulling over my choices for a new full size pick up. I currently own a 2004 F150. The Chevy/GMC trucks caught my attention initially, but they'd had so many recalls they don't even bother to advertise them of late and the incentives just aren't there. Then I focused on the Ram trucks for their gas milege with the V6 model getting 25 mpg. Then I open the paper the other day and see a local Ford dealer offering a new 2013 Super Crew 4x2 XLT at $16,000 off MSRP. This was a price leader (one only) and I'm not even sure if I qualify for the long list of incentives - but it showed me Ford has fallen behind or just built too much inventory to still have 2013 models sitting on their lots. If I purchased a new 2013 F150 at $16,000 below MSRP, I'd be paying less than what I paid 10 years ago for a similarly equipt truck. I'm thinking the lower mpg is no big deal if I'm saving several thousand dollars.
