My New 2015 Lariat FX4 with Sport Appearance Package
 
4 Attachment(s)
Traded in my 11 Ecoboost on Thursday for a new 2015 5.0 Lariat. Came equipped with the 502A package, with add on's of the FX4, 36 gallon fuel tank, and Lariat Sport appearance. Also came with the Sony stereo, which I'm impressed with so far.

I test drove both the Eco and the 5.0, and as much as I loved my 2011 I wasn't impressed with the ecoboost in the 2015. Maybe I had gotten too familiar with the power of my ecoboost from the tune and exhaust, but it felt sluggish compared to the 5.0 IMO. You really had to get into the throttle to get it to move. I'm sure it's going to be impressive with upgrades, I was just very impressed with the 5.0 from the get go. The power was very strong and linear, wasn't a light switch like the eco.

As for the truck and my driving experience so far, all I can tell you is WOW! The truck rides so much smoother than my 2011. My 11 was a 6.5' bed, and that may be part of the difference, but the 15 feels much more firm through the corners, with little to no body roll. Driving into parking lots with the small curb inclines is so smooth. You can literally feel the frame being a more rigid design than the previous generation.

The attention to detail is amazing. It's funny because when I test drove it I was telling my salesmen that it was like a luxury car and a truck had a baby, because the interiors are so detailed and amazing. Then I read someone on here say the same thing about the interior feeling like a luxury car. So far I'm very impressed with all the features. The push button start is probably one of my favorites, and I'm honestly amazed how by how much I use the remote tailgate opening feature.

As I get more drive time I'll post some more reviews on how everything is going. But as for now I can't stop smiling everytime I'm driving this thing!

Thursday she's going in for tint on the front windows, and I'll be ordering some floormats. Whats everyones experience on weathertech vs husky liner?

How does one remove the FX4 sticker cleanly?

I used my wife's hair dryer and my thumb nail had both off in less then 10 mins. Used goo be gone to wipe off what little residue was left behind and finished it off with Meguires spray wax.
