Made the switch
Well I had been considering it for awhile and finally made the switch. I traded my 2011 F-250 6.7 for a 2013 F-150 Ecoboost. I just couldn't justify the F-250 anymore. I really never needed it just always wanted a diesel. It was great for 3 years but was ready for a little more comfort.
Only had the F-150 for a day so will update as I go. But so far it has been great.

Congrats on the new truck!!
That 6.7 is an absolute BEAST of a motor...tons of power and torque. You are not alone in your decision there are a lot of people that have done just as you have. What trim level did you get?
Remember pics or it didn't happen!

Pics I know. Unfortunately I picked it up and went out of town the next day for a week. Can't wait to get back. The wait is killing me.

Black on black Fx4....tasty!! I assume it has those sweet new headlights, too.
You'll love the Ecoboost. I've had my Ecoboost FX4 for almost 2 years, 20K miles of hauling stone/wood, commuting to work, and towing a race car to Newfoundland. Performs flawlessly. And everyone wants to go in my truck during road trips, which is a testament to the vehicle as whole.
Remember to drive it hard frequently, so you avoid the "moisture in the intercooler" problem. Don't baby her.

Spent 11 years in a Diesel, 9 in a '02 7.3, 2 in a '11 6.7.
The 6.7 is great, just to complicated.
Diesels aren't the same now that the EPA has taken hold.
Enjoy the Ecoboost, not quite the same thrill, but not bad.
