1. what motor did you get?
2. did you have a previous model?
3. your impressions thus far.
Thanks.
1 and 2. I was in a 2014 version that was almost the same equipment (even down to the Blue Jean metallic). Only difference was the one I reviewed last year had the 5.0L and this year's is the 2.7L EcoBoost (by request).
3. As of this post, I've put only about 250 miles on it. That being said, I like the 2.7L for power. I'd be willing to be money if you put someone behind the wheel of this truck that's driven either the 3.5L or the 5.0, put earplugs in them, and asked them to drive this truck they wouldn't be able to tell a difference in power, at least without a load in the bed or towing.
How hard are oil/filter changes on 3.5, 2.7, 5.0, and 3.5 Ecoboost engines? Plug changes? I think I'm buying my next truck based on whether or not it's easy to maintain! Dagnabbit.
The 2.7 will be the easiest to change the oil filter...It's on top in the front of the engine. You twist off the cover and change the filter...But harder to get to the plugs as there is an engine cover on it (as well as the 3.5EB)
