I was just building a new Ford F150 on their website and it appears that there has been a price hike to get the eb, it went from $895.00 to $1095.00. Wonder whats up with that.

 

They can't build them fast enough to meet demand...

 

I thought maybe it had to do with some upgrades that they might be having to do. I guess the price of everything else has gone up so costs to produce it will have also

 

Bought mine last september and I thought I paid around 1000 I cant be sure. But it's simple economics high demand equals higher cost

I have heard a rumor that the new EB gets 1mpg better?

Overall the engine was out a year they probably had more real world data and looked at warranty work and made a few changes.

 

I'm looking at getting one this fall, but between the option charge of $1095, and some incentives don't apply to Ecoboost, its a $2100 option! It's not worth that...

(For example currently the $1000 trade in assistance doesn't apply to Ecoboost)

 

Wow...what a hike. I bought my FX4 November 2011 and paid $750 for the EB engine.

 

Almost half of all F150s sold have the EB (47% I think). May as well make a few extra bucks!

 

I ordered an ecoboost on January 17th and the build price was 44,150 now same truck and options are 44,625.

 

Is it just the EB that is raising the price or is another option bundled in when you make that selection?

I only paid $120 extra for my EB. The pre-release drive event took off $500 and the X-Plan took off $130.

 

When I ordered mine the price was $47,765 now the price is $48,240 so that is a $485.00 difference I am getting this on the D plan so it is not going to be that much. I went through the invoice for both old build and new build same specs and the only price difference I can find is the increase for the eb engine so the extra cost must be associated with the fuel charge and adv assessment.

BTW you people that think your dealer gave you a free tank of gas think again you payed for it.

I am assuming that I am locked in to get it at the original price that I started out with but if not, well lets just say I will be getting something extra. As far as I can figure there is no incentives or rebates currently on a FX4 but would love to hear if I could get some.

 

EcoBoost is $1,250.00 up here in Canada.

 

Dont know what the big deal is about EB engine two turbos on a six cyl my friend has one only gets ten mpg around the house.. Wheres the Diesel ford!!

 

bad question. Now you have lost 3 iq points, hate the ecoboost, think the 5.4 or 5.0 is so superior, and probably wear a turtle neck in the summer


diesel F-150 i think is out the window for the foreseeable future IMO thanks to all the emissions crap being added to them.

 

Hmmm well I'd prolly only get 10 mpg if I drove around my house too... but I only have .75 acres.....

I think the big deal is the power on tap plus fuel economy, but I don't really know or have any experience with the EB.....

 

I dont know it depends on the whole build and everything. Gearing, max trailer option etc. I think if you take the exact same truck and just swap engines its going to be a 1095 difference. But everybodys numbers are different because they swap gears, trailering options etc and at that point is apples and oranges as far as price goes.

I saw the same sales figures in like OCT. EB had what you said. the V6 was getting like 8% and the 6.2 like 4% the rest was the 5.0
