I bought a 2012 FX4 with Ecoboost on Friday and am very impressed so far.
It has loads of power and is much quieter than I imagined.

Wow, these trucks have come a long way since my last new one (2002)

I had about 200,000 kilometers on it and thought with all the incentives etc, now was a good time to trade it.

It came with every available option, including a dealer installed levelling kit/blocks/aftermarket tires.

The voice activated controls are really cool too and make driving a lot more convenient once you get the hang of it.

I wish they offered adaptive cruise control like in my MKX, but other than that, very happy with this truck.

I don't pay sticker. I can't see dealerships around here giving 12k off sticker. Maybe they do, I've never bought a truck that stickered over 40k.

My point is, Ford is going to be offering the EB in more configurations, in larger numbers really soon. That means that there are going to be EB F150's that sticker at or under 30k.

??? Ok? we are talking 40k not 30k. and you can buy eco's for under 30k after rebates.

The eb is already offered in almost every configuration besides the raptor and certain very base models.

Have you looked at the sales figures on the eco? it's doing really well.

Love the color and the stripe.

I'm sure once the first payment comes it, reality will set in.

I got a pretty descent xlt EB for 32 with rebates. I think the days of geting a fairly descent equipped vehicle for under 30 are slowly ending. It can be done with the EB, but your basically talking no 4x4 or a very stripped down xlt. I doubt any screw brand new can be had for less than 30k.

If you can't then they have had price increase since July, 2011. I bought an XLT with just about every option available, 5.0, for $27,400 plus TT&L. Sticker was $37,400. One option I did not get was the 20" wheels and it is a 4X2.

Dang, my pretty much spec'd out 5.0 xlt 4x4 was 39,800 sticker and I paid 29,800 plus tt&l for it....dealership wouldn't go more than 10k under sticker...so how much does 4wd add on an f150? $2400?

guess you didnt read that I said 4x4. Add that and beer math tells me your over 30k. When Im talking truck too Im talking 4x4 with at least a supervab, not a 4x2 or regular cab. If your were able to get a 4x4 with a super cab and specd out pretty well for under 30 please post your receipt.
