It is an absolute dream to drive. The 5.0 is great in this Truck on both the road and the highway. Plenty of power on tab when needed (or not lol)...
Congrats on the new rig, hogdust; she's a beauty! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Gorgeous!!!

You guys are making it REALLY hard on the ol' Dewser to not do something really, really dumb.

Oh, and I'm so glad Ford FINALLY put some decent tahrs on these trucks from the factory. Hear tell 'em Hankooks is right smart.

Dewser are you wishing you'd held out a few more months?

Awesome truck! Glad to see them trickling in finally.

Sport vs Chrome

Nice truck...Your pics are sure making it hard to decide between the sport package or the chrome package. Luckily I have 18 months to decide.

Enjoy it...

Nah, not really. The 2015 equivalent of my truck would've cost me around $8k-$10k more than I paid (no rebates, incentives, discounts, etc on the new ones).

That's not to say I'd be opposed to trading when said incentives eventually apply. I need

Really interested in hearing your driving impressions. This is very similar to the way I would order one as far as running gear is concerned.

How do you like the 3.73 so far? Would you order the same way if you were to do it again?

Nice truck! I think those rims are my favorite on the '15's!

Great looking truck! I really like the rims!

I do however have to ask what made you go with the 5.0? Is that What just happened to be on the lot? I ask this because I have now owned the 5.0, Ecoboost, and now have a 6.2L max tow and I must say that the 5.0 was by far my least favorite! It did however sound the best with an exhaust.

Also with a $65K price tag I would most likely be getting a F250 it is crazy how expensive these are now!!

I have the 3.73 in my 6.2, I know its different but figured I would state my opinion. If you tow on a regular basis then I say go for it but if you travel on the highway a lot then I would go with something different. I am running around 2000 Rpm running 70 Mph.

I love the way this Truck drives. As a whole I feel like this Truck is very luxurious and rides very smoothly. I don't even feel the Truck shift.

I did not order this Truck, it happened to be in Stock. At the time they only had one other 15, an XLT. I got lucky with the way this Truck was optioned. The only thing I wish it had is the Tailgate Step (Old Man lol).

Would I have taken the Truck if it had an EcoBoost? Only if it had the 2.7, and that would have been subject to a Test drive. The 5.0 in the 15's has more HP and TQ over the previous years. It is very responsive when you step on the go pedal. I really don't care about gas consumption. My Raptor was averaging 22 liters per 100km (about 10-12 MPG) This Truck can only be better than that. I also have a very short commute to and from work.
I have a 14 Mustang GT as well, so the 5.0 is on my blood lol

I like the 3:73 gearing. Raptor had 4:10. If the Truck had 3:55 I would have been OK with that as well. Had I ordered I would have checked the 3:73 option

Here in Canada Ford has a $4500 delivery allowance and $1000 for Costco members. Plus the dealer gave me a discount as well. Best part was the trade in I got for my Raptor. Lets just say it only cost me $5000 to drive it for 2 years. It was a demo when I bought it with 20,000 km. This was a big reason I pulled the trigger now, over waiting until next year.

Well that is good to hear, Maybe Ill have to drive a 2015 5.0. Do you know the HP ratings for the 2015? Because me personally I wouldn't even look at a 5.0 just from past experience with my 2013 but maybe things have changed.
