Here's the window sticker for those interested. $55,839 is not far off from the $55,500 list of my 2011 Eco, so the deal is similar. If Ford won't offer me a bitchin' trade in value I'd love to find someone who would pay $34k-$35k for my Eco and I'd be golden!

Going to see what Ford Canada says when I bring it up to them though.

EDIT: Dammit! It's got the 3.55 ratio. I don't want the 3.55 ratio, not unless I'm staying stock.

Almost Becca Blacke's twin only an FX4. Sounds sweet. The 3.55s are great for power/mileage mix with stock wheels and the 5.0. Also, you have the locking diff, whereas Becca has AWD.

Yep, the 3.55 is great if you plan on remaining stock. If I could find a 5.0L FX4 with 20's I'd likely stay stock for a year or two, maybe put my Michelin M/S2's on it and wear them out. The beefy tire look is fantastic but you can't beat the road manners of a street tire.

I've had my 5.0 for nearly a year and I'm tossing around the idea of trading it on a '13. But I'm not sure if it's worth it for just a few changes in technology (HID headlamps, powering fold/telescope trailer tow mirrors). I may just wait till this time next year and look at getting a '14 FX4 with the nicer grille (IMO).
