Yes Sir. I already returned it(EB issues) and have been driving a 2013 Escape. So......on Saturday I went back to my dealer and just ordered a XLT regular cab in black. It only has the 3.7 but honestly, it's enough for the daily driving I do.

I'm going to miss the torque of the EB, but I think the small 6 will be fine. I'm divorced/part time dad to one son and don't need all the cab space so went with a regular cab.

So sure little men sometimes makes better point guards but aren't so good as linemen, so why pretend to be one? Sure they can suit up but doesn't mean they are as good.... Anyone else's notice this? Maybe the 3.7 guys can help the 5.0 guys feel better about their choice.
Let me guess, you drive an egoboost!

That gets a consistant 17-18mpg. Doesn't have any issues driving in the rain. And tows 4000# up high mountain passes at the speed limit.

I'll take it.
