I believe they're only offering that much off on certain trim levels. Not sure which ones though.

Has the price of a MY 15 gone up significantly over a 14? You'd expect a new model introduction to see a spike in sales with full MSRP pricing (Mustang). The drop in sales and the $10k discounts are an attention getter signaling trouble since its Fords top selling vehicle.
It is true that intense use of aluminum and small displacement turbo engines are the future but introducing them on a truck with an old school buyer demographic may prove to be a mistake. It's ahead of the actual need by 5+ years.
