Please tell me I am wrong, but I just looked at the website and it seems like the 6.2 will not be offered with the FX4 package?! Whats the deal?

 

I don't think so... You have to get the max tow package to get it in the platinum if I remember right. It's only going in high end models with the max tow package (its standard in the Raptor and Harley I think), so the FX4 gets the 5.0 or the EcoBoost. I could be wrong, but I think I remember correctly the FX4 does not get it (yet).

 

I couldn't believe the KR doesnt have it either! Especially after one of the Vids on the Ford site specifically for the 6.2 has the KR. That would have been a strong incentive for me to trade up... But maybe another day...

 

complete disappointment for me. if you want top dollar for a truck, and you know the FX4 won't be cheap, I better get the top motor (at least have the option).

 

If you want the top motor, get the EB!

just stirring the pot... lol.

 

Get the Lariat with max tow package and offroad package.

You will have the 6.2L V8, rear locking diff, heated and cooled seat...


The price difference ain't that big. I think it's 2 000$ CAD more for that package.

 

Plus you get (IMHO) the worst grille of the lot, gaudy wood trim and lots and lots of chrome...

Well, that and cooled seats, and a rear seat armrest.

 

Yes exactly. I haaaaaate chrome, its so damn cheap looking, and those trucks are not lacking in it. On top of that I cannot get over how bad that "wood" trim looks. It's too bad too since I don't need an FX4, but between the far superior looking front end and the nice changed made to the front and rear lights in the '11 FX4, its the far better looking of just about all the F-150's I think.

The Limited edition has kind of a cool looking interior though if I am remembering the pics correctly.

 

Since when does factory Chrome look Cheap?

 

"imho"

 

That's why i don't want the Lariat.

But the option is still there for those who want the 6.2L.


I'm not sure if i'm going with the 5.0 FX4 or EB FX4.I want the big gas tank... Plus the 5.0 with the Mustang supercharger would be sick but i ''need'' the 11 300lbs max towing capacity.

 

EcoBoost is the top engine that Ford is selling and it is available on almost every trim. The 6.2 is a top engine but is not "the" top and is limited due to those fuel economy standards. If you want the top, go with EcoBoost.

 

ecoboost would be an interesting choice, but that also appears unavailable on the FX4. On the website, it only has the 5.0 as an option for the FX4.

 

Nope. EB is available on FX4 Trim. In fact with the max tow pkg its the only option.(FX4)

 

IMHO:
EB 6 with turbo/ BIG 8!
can not beat displacement, I know some people at ford at got an 2010 FX4 as I knew it would not have the 6.2 as an option and dont want to jump into an untested 5.0. I don't like the lariat due to leather and cheap wood trim. I am not about to jump in to new engines that have only been tested in light duty (cars) applications. The 6.2 was made for the super duty and is an high end option for the F150. I say give it 2 or 3 years and we will get in in all but the lowest trim levels. Turbos/supercharges always have very high heat issues heat is bad for all things.
