What is new for 2006 for the F-150? Just wondering.

 

If it's been released public I can get the PDF file tomorrow otherwise probably shouldn't spill it plus I tooked at it the other day and can't remember. Not many big changes. Only one that I remember the other things are alittle.

 

Your kidding?


New wheels, 20in option for fx4 and lariat

new bumper design (added top peice to connect the upper bumper = smaller gap)

round fog lights

xl package has changed a little

etc....

 

I was talking more mechanical wise. I haven't pulled any of the sheetmetal exterior up on my computer since the '04 model so I haven't checked for new part numbers from '04 to '06. Maybe I can get some time tomorrow and check part numbers then I will know what's changeing exterior.

 

Any hint of a 5spd auto tranny in 07? Or do they even talk about that stuff this far in advance? They offer that tranny in other models, so I know Ford is at least aware it exists....

 

How about a 1/2 ton diesel????

 

A 6.5 ft. bed option for the SuperCrew.

 

The Harley Edition F-150 is the big news for 2006.

 

minor appearance and options stuff.

nothing significant.

 

Didn't someone on here say something about a "chrome accent package" for the Lariat or am I making that up in my little mind?

 

The guy I bought my truck,is a long time friend. He said the front headlights,grill,bumper....its getting a new front end.Fenders would be the same.And some bling,bling inside.

I'm changing my front asoon as I can get the parts.

 

i don't think this one has been verified yet.

there is also traction control for the 2wd.

 

unless its priced competitive with LS, I don't see the point.

 

looks like the 6.5' box for the supercrew will be late availibility
xl decor group (?)
chrome package (xlt & lariat)
20" 6 spoke aluminum wheels
traction assist
sirius satrad
rear cargo storage unit
oxford white (fx4)
smokestone metallic (lariat)

If Ford does it like GM, LS is required with traction control. It is more for people who have 4x4s, but rarely if ever use it except on slick roads.
