Beautiful trucks! We are doing the same...our F350 was stolen last month. Hoping we love the F150 but I am sick over my beast. She never let me down in 10 years. And looked like new! Keep me informed as to what you think of yours...I have plenty of time til December to change my mind!LOL! Just hate to spend the $$$ they want now for diesel!

Thanks guys, as for how I like the 5.0 to the 6.7 is hard to compare. Two totally different powerbands.
5.0 wins in:
Speed
Lower cost of maintenance
Mpg
Smoother trans
6.7 with deletes wins:
Torque monster, pulled ANYTHING
Appearance (imo)
Probably would have lasted to 300k miles with erg and dpf off.
That being said I am happy with my decision and would do it again, if you don't have something to justify having a diesel with a tow rating over 20k, don't own one.
I picked the 5.0 because I drove both the 5.0 and 3.5 eco (brother owns a eco too) and it fits my driving style perfect. Smooth as silk when crusing, and comes to life at wot. Plus I always wanted a 5.0 stang but I need a truck so I might as well own a truck with a similar motor to the stang
