[Fot] Towing (New F-150)

[davehogye]

I've always thought and agree about the new release, lab rat scenario. This is one reason I've waited on purchasing an F150. The drivetrain however, has been around for a few years. 

I also think having 4 wheel drive is worth it. The vehicle is always more valuable during resale, usually close to the initial cost difference and the occasional use is a huge benefit to me.

I would wait a year or two on the new Ford F150 (or any new release) until the powertrain and body structure changes are fully tested and diagnosed. Unless you want to be the lab rat. I've owned three F150s and the 2009 I currently own is the worst.

The new aluminum truck is said to weigh 700lbs. less than the last steel version. That's a lot of weight off during daily driving routines and the towing and payload has gone up. Sounds good to me. I built a SuperCrew FX4 version on line, no leather or sunroof thank you, and got the price up to $46K. Now they are offering up to $8K in discounts and incentives. It's sounding better every day. 
I read an article recently that discusses the improvements on 1/2 ton trucks that bring them up to 3/4 ton levels from just a few years ago.

We've got a customer with a new aluminum F150. He loves it. Says it tows a 
7K lb. trailer and doesn't even know it's there!
