Any idea when the new color will be available on the 2012 SD's? How about Nav?

Thinking about a January buy. May have to order what I really want...

I believe we can order 2012's right now, but there will be no nav in the trucks until 2013MY.

Why pay $2000+ for factory navigation when a $200 TomTom or Garmin will get the job done? :confused5:

why pay $50k for a Corvette when a $15K Kia will get you there, too?

Integration. Oh yeah, and the back-up camera on a 22 foot vehicle.:D

The lack of Nav units is making the Lariat Ultimate package unavailable, which includes a number of items I want including camera, moonroof, etc.

That include sync and all that good stuff? That's a wicked little system. The wife fell in love with it, though she's still in the "I want a Lincoln" frame of mind...

Sync FTW.

That alone will probably put me back in a Ford.

You can still get the backup camera without the nav, it is displayed on a 2½ screen in the mirror.

SYNC is still 100% available.

Is the nav problem one of those Japan problems ? What colors are restricted ?

I think I may be confusing sync and mytouch... is mytouch in the F150?

I know I can get stuff a la carte, but at an added cost.:sadangel:

There's a new red this year.

Yes, the microchip is made there. Tuxedo black is no longer available, because the stuff used to make the blue flake is from over there.

The camera is included with the Sony stereo.

So it's clear in my simple mind. F150 + Sync = good to go. F150 + Sync + Mytouch = Still need to wait a bit. Yes?

F150 won't have MyTouch until 2015.

But yes, SYNC is good to go.

They won't put MyTouch in the F150 until the redesign. Instead, it has it's own info center, and nav system.

Ford makes great stuff... but isn't Mytouch plagued with issues right now?

They only issue is salespeople not explaining it, and people not knowing how to use it.
