I find that very hard to believe. My V6 4X4 STX stickered at almost 31k. A V8 version of my truck that I'd considered trading in on stickered at almost 32K. I don't know how many of these things they are going to make, but I'd guess that people who really want them are going to be paying close to sticker for them.

I'd get one when they come out but my 2011isn't worth much in trade. I've always treated my vehicles like I would trade them in soon. I'm using this truck like I'm going to own it for a while. I guess I'm going to own it for a while. I kind of want a fun to drive car with a manual transmission too. I think that's what I'm going to get next.

 

I seriously doubt 23-27k-an equivalent FX2 ext cab is about $45k-there is no way dropping it down to a reg cab will drop the price $20k

 

You guys are right. It's going to be higher. That's what I get for quoting CNBC.

NBC = Nothing But Crap

 

Good eye. Is it a protector or is it a part of the FX Appearance Package?

 

You guys are mentioning sticker prices. NO one pays anything close to sticker. There are threads on this, but trucks (in TX) are 12-14k off right now. Even loaded-all-the-way 4X4 Plats are selling in the low 40s

Crewcab FX2's sell in the mid 30s depending on options. My neighbor got one for 32k with the Ecoboost. Single vs crew cab is 4-5k at least. So 28.5k seems doable to me. 23k I still doubt

 

You meant National Barack Corporation, right? But in the end, both phrases are just about equal

 

should've been named "tooter" instead of "tremor"

 

 

If that's true, I will buy one...

 

Agreed. They need to keep this truck under 30K imo. I'd love to have one as a daily driver.

 

If they want a piece of this market they need to bring it in around 25, or offer stripped version at that price point. The Ram Express starts at 23 and is less than 26 loaded. I spoke to an acquaintance who is a salesman at the local dodge dealer and they can't keep the Express on the lot. He also said that all the std cab Hemi trucks sell pretty well.

 

Actually MSRP including destination charge on a 2013 Ram Express 5.7 is 27. Maybe they sell at 23 after incentives and discounts, but you gotta compare apples to apples.

Considering MSRP including destination on a 2013 XL RCSB with a 3.7 is 26 and a STX is over 27, Ford has some serious pricing work to do.

 

The 23 came off of the Ram build and price site. Like you stated Ford has to do some serious price work to do.

 

I got 23 too - that was after a 4 grand down payment. Ram is playing games on their build and price site.

 

... BUT they don't offer a 5.5' bed with a regular cab.

So this would be a new wheel base... which would bring hundreds of new components.

The price would go through the roof if they tried to make a new wheelbase.

Like I said before - they just recombined existing items to make this truck. Then they added some new seat covers to make it pretty.
