I tend to just buy what I want and then buy a Ford ESP 7yr/125K warranty premium plan with zero deductible and same day rental. Whatever happens happens but I want be walking thats for sure, at least not for 7 years. Then I want a new truck anyways.

Seriously though, Enjoy your second new truck this year.... I'm jealous.
LOL, pretty funny though. The dealer offers a free lifetime drivetrain warranty. But the catch is all oil changes and service must be done by the dealer, so I'll pass I guess. I do all my own work and scheduled service would cost a fortune at the dealer and most isn't needed.

Congrats! I traded my 2015 2.7 for a 2017 2.7 that was built on 6/15/17 so I avoided that whole mess as well. Smart choice in my book!

but I would suggest getting an ESP from one of the online warranty providers. You can make a small down payment and monthly payments for the warranty but will have no surprise service bills for many years.
its cheap peace of mind.

My next truck will be a 2.7 for sure when my ESP expires on my 13' 3.5 eco in 2020.

I watched a video interviewing Ford mechanics, asking them what motor they preferred. 99% said the 5.0...tried and true. And the V6 sounds like my vacuum cleaner...

The video he speaks of features lot boys' opinions, too. "...because V8". They truly are unaware of the virtues of the twin-turbocharged EcoBoosts. The Ecos are amazing engines.

~ BUT I DIGRESS.~

Onward! with the OP's proactive decision!

Depends, is it an Eco bridge or coyote bridge?

Sorry OP... Share some pics when that bad boy arrives.
