Today I made the mistake of test driving a F150 4x4 XLT with the Sport package. Engine is the 3.5 Eco boost and backed up with the 10 speed. Truck also has 3:55 gears and 36 gallon tank and optional trailer tow package along with a few other options. I was blown away by how fast the truck was. It felt solid as a rock and was as quiet as a nice car. I was interested in the V8 until I test drove the 3.5 Eco.

A few back and forth counter offers and I agreed to buy it. Ford was running about $9K in rebates on this model and discounted the truck to $38K plus they gave me more for my trade than what I paid for it.
We pick it up tomorrow.

 

Congratulations, and welcome to the team!

 

Nice! Congrats... Pics please when you get it... I did the exact opposite. I drove the 3.5EB first and then the 5.0 I rarely tow and was completely smitten with the V-8 sound. I agree the EB is a torque monster but for me the V-8 is more than adequate and makes me smile every time I drive it. I do wish for the 10 speed. Would make it more responsive and probably help fuel mileage too.

 

Congrats !!! Enjoy !!

 

Sounds very similar to my buying experience. Getting more for my trade than anticipated was such a bonus. Love this truck.
