Any changes for 2012?

When I was at the Ford dealer, he said that production of 2011 trucks was nearly complete. So, my question is... does anyone know what the changes will be for 2012?

I really wish they would offer a green or brown option for the 2012's.

Im getting dangerously close to ordering one but am not satisfied with the current color choices.

I wanted black, but I hate the metal flake they put in it, looks dirty when its clean.

Ive had 2 red trucks and currently a blue one so that eliminates those.

I guess im stuck with sterling gray, which I really like, but my wifes Escape is that color...just weird to have twin vehicles.

You could always go Ingot Silver Metallic. Looks clean even when dirty. And any accessory added that is black looks good. Such as window tint, bakflip...etc.

I was hoping there would be some wheel changes, maybe interior blond would is deleted??? I can only hope and pray for that one!!!

If you are on the fence about tuxedo black, here is what it looks like when taken care of properly:

Yeah, just not likin that metal flake. Plus, having a 18 month old and another on the way, things like paint care get pushed to the side.

The ingot silver looks like more of a trim color to me, looking for something with a little more depth if that makes any sense. But thanks for the examples.

hmmm funny. seeing how its only april in a year that has 12 months i find that hard to believe. second they only started delivering the 11's 3 months ago due to hold ups at the factories. i highly extremely doubt that production is done.

New for 2012

Obama says they have to average 34 mpg next year. He's pushing Chevys.

Oh yeah, gonna listen to that guy. I bet once he really starts pushing Chevy, the Ford stock will rise instantly. Haha

2012 Raptors are rumored around August/September, at least for orders. Some insiders have already been through the order bank to see what is new with Raptors. Stuff is still trickling into the order bank though... I am impatiently waiting

I really don't see many changes for regular F150s... what more could they do? for the raptor it is mostly paint changes and interior changes, which I would assume is what one could expect with regular F150s too.. but who knows.

I wouldn't be surprised if they offer the 36 gallon fuel tank on the ecoboost in 2012. It's ridiculous to make a truck that can tow like crazy and guzzle lots of gas doing it and not offer a 36 gallon tank. But I don't tow so I'm content with my little fuel tank.

I'm hoping for a drivers side grab handle, and a moonroof option on the XLT, and the return of the option for a green truck
