With production just a few months out, dealers are finally able to order the 2015 Ford F-15o today. Base prices and configurations have been confirmed, with the highest-trim trucks commanding a $3,000 premium from last year. But every variant has more new features than aluminum construction.

Engines
The 3.7 V6 is being dropped as standard equipment altogether in place of a new 3.5 V6. Upgrading from the new base engine to the premium 3.5 EcoBoost turbocharged V6 will cost an additional $1,995. Moving from the old 3.7 to the EcoBoost in 2014 was $100 more than that.
Going from the new base 3.5 to the also-new 2.7 EcoBoost will be a $495 upgrade. The 6.2 V8 is no longer an option for the F-150.
Naturally, 4x4 and long-bed options will increase base price for all trims.
USA Today says the XL, XLT, and Lariat make up 85% of F-150 sales but Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager, told them the range-toppers will sell strong out of the gate. "[Early customers will] want the higher-end trucks. That's been the history. That's where the most new tech is found, so we expect the same rich mix at launch as we have seen in the past."
All trim levels will be launching at once (end of this year), and as with previous years most new features in higher-trim trucks will be available as options in lower trims.
