Ordered my new F-150 Lariat back in January. It finally came in last week. I traded in my 2011 F-150 Ecoboost. The new one is the 5.0L. Couldn't be happier.

Congrats! Good looking truck. But why the 5.0 when you had the EB? I'm curious.

 

Great looking truck!

 

Well I owe a remodeling and construction business and the ecoboost just didn't give me the power I needed.

 

??? The EB has a higher torque and tow rating then the 5.0....

 

That's why I asked.

 

Very nice. Congrats!

 

I curious, why a 5.5' bed?

 

Hmmmm.......

 

Nice looking truck!

 

Nice truck, great colour.

 

I like the accent color along the rockers - looks great.

 

Here is mine. I didn't know I had a choice of the darker interior

 

Looks nice Mitch!! Now, just drive'er on across the state to my hometown, Augusta to see that little small ball thing. I'll be waiting on ye for a ride!

But, hold on there now! Wha' in the world ye mean not enough power with an Ecoboost?!? That ain't right son, just ain't right. Ye've got some 'splainin' to do.

 

I could see if you had said that you tow allot and the 5.0 will get much better mpg's while towing since it wont be in boost all the time.

I could understand if you said that you keep your trucks a long time and the long term reliability should be much better with the 5.0 over the EB due to less parts to fail.

I would have even went for the "I like the V8 sound better that the fake sound on the EB.

The problem is the EB has more torque and is actually more powerful than the 5.0

Nice truck!!!
