That was the first thing that got me--it was faster off the line then my 5.4L. I'm going to somewhat miss the rumble of a V8, but last night I went cruising with some friends and it was nice to have a conversation in silence.

No. It's a Ranch Hand that doesn't have the light bar--came with the truck, dealer put it on.

I need to figure out the license plate issue if I do buy another grill guard. Since we have to have front plates, FoMoCo put the plate on the driver side bumper and left the center air inlet open for the intercooler.

It's like our old diesels but without the soot and loud noise. You can hear the twin turbo's whining LOL.

I have to go up this morning and get some stuff out of my truck. I'm contemplating on pulling the intake and putting that crappy Airaid back in.

X3 is sitting on my desk here.

I'm in love! The damn thing has MORE power than my 5.4L Triton WITH a damn tuner. I should have bought one of these from the get go.

I got $30k for my 2 month old 2010 F150.



That's my old truck beside it!

I'll have more pics when I get back--I need food.
Now you need one of these decals.

That would look great on the White FX4. Be sure to specify you have a White truck.

First off, congratulations. She's a beauty.

My 5.0 is treating me great, I am so happy with it. This is my second 5.0, the first was a 92 LX notchback with a 5 speed; that thing was a blast to drive.

Same, I had a hatchback and loved it!

I just went on 140 mile drive and got 15.6mpg over the 13 I got with my Triton.

The NO BAILOUT EDITION decal is text only. You do not have to remove your stock FX4 decal.

That's an amazing deal. The sticker price on these turned me off, I didn't realize you'd be able to get one at such a heavy discount! I'm surprised at what they gave you for your 2010 as well

Nice truck Storm! Yea Mac Haic is taking about 10k off the sticker. XLT has most rebate. I was there yesterday and they had a scab xlt 3.7 sticker for 30k and offered it to us for 19k! That's a bottom of the line truck but 19k!? And 23 mpg hwy.
Also they're dealing big on their 2011 250s, at least 10k off.

Ecoboost really is hard to pass up, can't wait to see what they do to it in the future. Oh and why can't I find the ecoboost forum in the drop down menu?? I've been given the link to it but want to be able to access from the drop down.

Lot of bullcrap happened with the dealer, but at the end of the day the Eco just wasn't for me. I missed the roar of my V8 and I left with a smile on my face when I climbed into ol'Selena.
