im thinking about trading in my stang and 08 f150 for a 2011 5.0

any news on when the 2011's will hit dealer lots?

 

Probably mid-December.

Haven't you read all the threads on this?

 

damn, no i havent seen that.

thanks for the info man

 

I still see 2010's coming out of KC area on the transport trucks.

 

Can we make this a sticky, along with a few others?


P.S. Did you guys know Ford is releasing an all-new engine lineup in the 2011 F150?

 

I asked my salesman today. He said around the new year. Its the engines which are delaying manufacturing. They need to build up the inventory of engines, because they are used in other models. I saw a couple of 2010's coming off the car carrier today.

 

I guess they will really be giving the 2010s away when the 2011 models come out. There are still a TON of 2010 models on lots around here. I saw a 2010 Ram quad today that was $15K off. I guess the rebate is $8500 on it. Crazy times!

 

Like I said in August, they've had a few glitches in the parts assembly and they want to get it right. But some kid around here made me out to be a derelict. And that may be but the production is scheduled to start again for Monday next week. And don't buy into the engine shortage crap. They have a 3 month supply in the pipeline already. But you may not necessarily see any for sale or on the streets until after Jan 1. I've overheard that they are wanting to help the dealers move old inventory and they may have a stop sale on the 2011's until some of the inventory sells. The only way to know for sure is to live long enough to see how it works out.

 

Funny but back in September when I was looking for a truck I emailed a couple of Dodge dealers asking for a price quote.....not one of them emailed me back! The Ford dealer emailed me back within a few hours with $12K off offer and asked what color I wanted About 4 weeks later, one of the Dodge dealers called and asked if I was still in the market for a truck. I laughed and told him I bought a F150, thanks for returning my email. I guess at the time they weren't too interested in my money, but soon realized the error they made

Honestly, I don't like to waste time "playing the purchase game", so the dealer that responds the quickest with the best price gets my business.

 

I agree with you rotor, I only do business with dealers who respond and give realistic pricing. Labnerd, Ford did the same thing with the 2011 Mustang GTs. The early builds were "delayed' supposedly for a QC issue. I think it allowe dthem to move the 2010 GTs off the lot because they knew they would not sell once the 5.0 was out there. It seemed to work.

 

I see that a local dealer here is showing an 11 king ranch 4x4 with the 5.0 list a little over 50k

 

Your location?

 

I was told ten more weeks near me

 

South LA. Morgan City They show a couple now on their website, I don't know if they have them on the lot it's about 25mi. from me.

 

i have a dealer near me that has a 2011 black FX4 sitting on their lot
