Clearly, Ford is only interested in promoting the EcoBoost engines. I hope that isn't a corporate decision that hurts them as more light diesels enter the market segment.

As for the lack of exterior markings, I removed the Flex Fuel badge from my tailgate and replaced it with an old-school chrome V8 logo from Ford Racing Parts.

Lol, I ordered this to replace the flex fuel badge on Friday, should be here today.

Wow, that's great!
How did you remove the FF badge?
Where did you get the new badge? >> found one on EB for $6. Is yours a sticker or plastic emblem similar to the FF badge?

TIA,

I got 3 of those Coyote badges for $11 on ebay.


FF badge can be removed with fish line and heat gun.

I purchased mine from www.yatesperformance.com I haven't removed flex fuel emblem yet. I believe it is an emblem and not a sticker (that's why I haven't removed flex fuel yet) I'll let you know how it looks when it arrives today. They also have a black/blue one as well

Hi there! Check the dimensions of it. You'll be 'so surprised' when you received it. I bought a couple back in February on eBay for $10, I think... Once I got them, they are aluminum emblems that easily bends and it's 3" X 0.25"! I just laughed at my disappointment. =]

This one is supposedly 5 3/4" where the stock flex fuel emblem is 6 1/2". I stayed away from eBay purposely, chances are it is cheap and flimsy but I'll take the $10 risk. That's why I left the stock emblems on for now. I'll receive it today and post pics up and let you guys know if it's a piece of crap or not.

Yeah its definitely not like a bulky emblem like the flex fuel, its an aluminum strip that is stamped and painted with a 3m strip on the back. I've heard they last a year or two before fading. Mines been on for I think around 7 months and looks like the day I bought it. I bought a few at once just so I have extra if I end up needing to replace it. Still looks good, but dont be fooled

There is a certain amount of truth to this though. You can get 25MPG depending on how your truck is configured. You just can't do it while your going "scary fast." Granted I think going fast with these is really only accomplished through tuning, but you can make an F150 go fast enough to get scary. You can even make them out accelerate a lot of stuff on the road.

Yet 2/3rds of customers buy ecoboost.
