Just think, next year it will be aluminum vs steel threads. Haters will say no way a aluminum truck will last and hold up long term

Or this. I am out on this thread. I stated all along I like both but these threads always degenerate into a pissing contest and call out match.

It's all good. I'm with you, I like both engines. I tend to be optimistic and open-minded about the EB long term. It was a good discussion for a while.

Like you I am hopeful too for the eco for two reasons, I own one in my Lincoln and a lot of family and friends work in the plant in Lima making the 2.7. I worry more about that engine than the 3.5. I fear it will be closer to full boost all the time while towing.

Ever notice the same guys who really truly believe that the ecoboost is better than the 5.0 have to say the same thing over and over and over and that much of what they are saying doesn't add up in any way, but they believe what they believe and no one can tell them different?????????
I'm not "attacking" the EB, I think it's a very "capable" engine. I'm "attacking" those that insist it is a "better" engine than the 5.0. It all depends on what you require of and expect from your engine. Better for some isn't better for all.
It's like comparing apples and oranges. I will tell you now that oranges ARE BETTER than apples and what you think doesn't matter because that's the way it is!
