Goodby V10, Hello ECOBOOST!

Well went ahead and pulled the trigger Thurs evening. 2011 F150 XLT Supercab 2X4, EcoBoost 3.5 V6, Golden Bronze Metallic, 3.15 LS rears. Gonna miss the old Superduty but I absolutely love this new truck. 20 mile ride north on Rt.1 in Florida to the dealer with the Superduty, V10 getting 8.6 mpg, same 20 miles home in the Ecoboost, same speeds same driving habits 23.5 mpg. Awesome! I will be going on a 2.5 hr trip to the other coast on Mon. will update mileage. Pics coming soon!

A shame that Ford doesn't offer the 3.15 rear end in the 4x4. 3.31 is not available with LS, so that leaves 3.55 for when I get one. Interested to hear how it pulls, and what rpm the engine is doing at 65 and 75 mph. Excellent fuel economy!

Just for reference I got rid of my 2000 PSD and got an EB and its better in every way. Pulls my trailer just as well too. Love the tow/haul mode.
