I love my 2.7! I have always been a "spirited" driver, but never owned a sports car, simply because they aren't practical for me. But this truck is the best of both worlds! The power to weight ratio of this thing is unbelievable! I love watching the tach when I mash the skinny pedal and it just flicks right to the red line!
I recently floored my truck to get around someone with sport mode on, the power delivery was so strong that it shocked me how much it shoved me back in my seat.
I had a Mustang GT recently and currently have a BMW E90 with a manual, so I am not new to cars that can move quickly. This 2.7L is a pleasant surprise.

However, I almost bought a Lariat FX4 Supercab with 2.7 so I know they are out there, but perhaps only an XLT with SuperCrew.

Nothing comes to mind that makes sense... my first thought was MPG's.. they would sacrifice EPA numbers.. but nope, they offer them with the XLT's with the same 19/26 rating they have on the rest of 2.7's.. nothing else comes to mind as to why they wouldn't offer with a Lariat - you can get all the other cool options and option yourself up to 60K dollar truck.. but it won't have 20's on it! (at least from the factory)

I'm telling u I'll run any 2.7 out there in a drag race, the 2.7 goes but it don't go like the 3.5 maybe if u compare different configurations, I don't see a 2.7 going in the 13s stock which I've done just ask my buddy with the sho Taurus what happened, couldant imagine the difference with a tune, I forget who compared the ford to Cheavy and dodge also the Toyota and it was 4x4 super crew 3.5 ecoboost and it ran 5.5 to 60mph per my track times 0-60 is 5.05 secs pretty stout for a stock truck
