Nice truck! That's my thinking as well - I have other toys to have fun with offroad that my F150 will never see, so I prefer a mild level with a set of tires and few other tasteful mods.
How do you like the Eco compared to the 5.0 in your old truck?
BTW, now you need to change your sig.

I really love the ecoboost over the 5.0. To me the power difference is huge, especially with the larger tires. Gas mileage, in all honesty isn't a whole lot different. My 5.0 with lift and 35s I saw about 11 (was 2wd). This one with level and 35s is about 13. Still breaking it in obviously so hoping it'll get a little better over time, which I've heard from numerous ecoboost owners.
Sig will be changed shortly!

Loving the new truck though. I didn't hesitate to add the new kicker sub, oil catch can, and a tonno.
Any idea what mileage your going to do first oil change?

What's your reasoning for the oil catch can? The ecoboost is new to me so any advice is much appreciated.

The point is for it to burn it in your engine rather than collecting it. What happens is that all that crud builds up and carbs up your engine over time.
From what I've read it's more beneficial to add the can on the ecoboost since the direct injection systems are more sensitive to this occurrence.
This was 5 percent gas 95 water after having it installed for 25 miles!
I pulled it the other day and it looked like a chocolate pudding..

Yea, they really got a good thing going for them down there! What boat company do you work for? You work for a manufacture? Or a dealership? I work for Xpress Boats up here in Hot Springs, AR. We make all aluminum bass boats, duck boats, and jon boats.
