Back Again

Long time member that comes and goes.. started back with the forum when I built my hot rod F100, then to the SD forums with my F450, now I have "downsized" to a 2013 XLT EB as my towing needs have also downsized from a 37' 17000+lb 5th Wheel to a 25' 7000+lb toy hauler conventional tow. Haven't towed the toy hauler yet but am looking forward to seeing how the 150 EB handles it...from what I have read here and numerous other places, it should do well. I won't have the margins I had with my F450, but it was over-kill for my needs. I know you can never have enough truck, but I feel the 150 EB will be enough+ for my current needs.

Congrats and welcome back. BTW, you say (Back to the basics) in your sig about your new XLT, EB, there is nothing basic about a $38K truck. Just saying

Welcome back Bill! Don't be too soft on the ecoboost, they like to be pushed and seem to respond well to a good thrashing.

Welcome back and congrats on your new truck! You will definitely love the ecoboost with all it's low end torque.

Of course you are right Pool Runner. Guess I was referencing starting with the F100 and now back to a F150. No, nothing basic about the XLT (changed my sig anyway)

And thanks to all for the welcome..
