Anyone pick one up yet? I'm getting really close to. I'm curious to see what owners are feeling about them.
2015 Super Duty

I doubt you'll notice the bump in power until you put some weight behind the truck. It should really shine under load at altitude. Engine braking should also be vastly improved.
I also read that Ford limits the engine for a certain amount of miles. That could also explain why many aren't too impressed with the power.
I'm hoping to see a restyle soon. The bump in power would probably be nice, but really overall the truck isn't a whole lot different than my '10 6.4 other than powertrain. Still the same ole thing since '99. When they re-do the truck itself, then maybe I'll be in the market for a new one.
That's the boat I'm in. I really like what I'm seeing from the updated 6.7 Powerstroke (still would like to see if the pistons and rods are actually beefier), but I'm going to hold off for a completely new truck. The SVTP 2009 F-350 still does everything I ever ask of it with ease (except get decent mileage).
till Ford brings a hand shaker back.. no thank you..
You can pretty much forget that. Even class 8's are steadily moving towards autos.
The boost in power and torque is definitely noticeable when towing, but outside of that though, the difference while driving normally is not really that noticeable. They're certainly nice trucks, but if you want to buy, try finding a 2014 and cash in on the rebates.
You can tell a difference power wise.
The first one I ordered in I drove for twenty minutes or so, came back and jumped in a 2014. You can tell a considerable difference.

and it's why I drive a Ram 2500 with a Cummins and manual, instead of a Ford (even though I like Fords better than Dodge)
I dunno. I had a 06 king ranch dually and an 09 king ranch 450 dually. Beautiful trucks when they ran. Went cummins and have since switched all my work trucks to dodge. All 5 1 tons.
I know the dodge has a long history but I hate them stupid mirrors!!!!
I like a manual tranny too, but not more than I like the "stoutness"of modern autos and the torque converter's ability to load and spool the turbo.
What rear end? I went and grabbed another one off the lot today and it did better than the first one I drove.
Both the 2014 and 2015 had 3.55's.
I will be all over the rebates, but I can get A Plan pricing. I haven't ran the numbers in a few months. But Last time I checked the difference in price was minimal. IDK. I would love to see a redesign, but when is that realistically going to happen? I personally still really love the look of the Fords. The rams are great I just think they're but ugly.
I can't understand why anyone would want a full size diesel truck with a manual transmission, but to each their own.
The 6.7's power strokes are damn nice, and I am ready to see how one drives with the updated turbo and injectors. I have read one good review on a 2015 on power stroke army and a few where guys are saying they are not enjoying the few mileage. There isn't a very big jump and price either. The diesel option goes up a little over 100 dollars and base price for a super duty goes up a little over 1000 i believe.
Of course better rebates are to be had on the out going 2014MY, but sticker to sticker the upgrade looks to be worth it seeing that the 2011-2014 MY had turbo issues, especially when tuned. I think another thing that changed in 2015 is a bigger, stronger torque converter. I don't know if any of you guys have seen the torque converter inside one of these 6r140 bell housings, but there is so much room outside the converter in the bell housing that it makes the torque converter look tiny LOL.
I lust for a ruby red 2015 platinum 6.7.
