u can still drive like a gma in a EB just stretch her legs out on the highway every now and then. same goes with any other vehicle.

 

^Exactly!!....put a tune on her and then spur her once and a while.

 

I am pretty sure you can get a loaded ED for less than a loaded Lariat or platinum in 2015 model.. Or am I way off?! I really want a 15 platinum but the price tag is a killer. I am sure I will bite the bullet sooner than later.

 

Ford is releasing a new 1.5L engine powered by Nitrogen tetroxide. Cost is $133/ gallon but initial testing has achieved an amazing 40 mpg in a truck and that's all that matters. right? RIGHT?!!!

 

you can sell a cheaper vehicle when part of it was paid for with your tax dollars.

 

Good point!!

 

At $3 a gallon for gas and $4 a gallon for diesel, and $50 per oil change for gas and $80 for diesel-it actually costs more per 10,000 miles to operate than a hemi equipped truck.

I love how people bitch and complain about the fuel economy of ecoboost trucks and how it is "marketing BS". Ram's ecodiesel is the biggest piece of marketing BS in a long time IMO. Exactly zero real world savings.

 

You are correct and the difference between Ford and the rest is quite significant. I remember when the ED first come out the demand was very high and that kept the price at MSRP. You can purchase the same ED now for $10,000 less and there are even better bargains if you settle for a new 2014. Chevy is also discounting aggressively even on the 2015 models. The current Ford prices are not sustainable so just give it time.

 

I am currently running a 13 ecoboost but am looking at a ecodiesel for one of my work trucks. We tow a 12 ft enclosed trailer that weighs 3500 lbs 95% of the time. With the ecoboost I can get 10-11 average. With the Eco diesel I test towed with I got 15 over 20 mile stretch @ 70 mph. We drive 40,000 miles a year. And I'm trying to decide what's going to work best for a longer life span. Diesel is more expensive but does last longer and is made for towing.

 

The only thing that fiat diesel is made for ia towing pizzas to the market.
