Anyone regret getting the 3.5 Ecoboost and wish they could trade for a 5.0?

I agree with him, go for a boosted engine if you drive at higher altitudes which can make a huge difference. Go for a V8 for the awesome sound. You either have to pick one, or spend more money to overcome the weaknesses.

True, or go for the v8 and never worry about failing turbos, leaking plastic oil pans and condensation in intercooler. The v8 has some issues as well so I’m not arguing it doesn’t.

To heck with that, man get me a Model T, the hand crank is awesome and you never have to worry about a failed starter! All those electronics that can fail, none of that to worry about ;-)

I find these threads funny, they are like whipping it out, slapping it on the table to see who's is bigger.

twoboosted ased to find a 5.0 that could beat a EB, so I did.

Oh hey look, a 5.0 white knight

Go see if you can purchase a 3.5 EB RCSB to compare to that RCSB 5.0.
