It is a "Limited", limited to buyers that are willing to be limited to the 3.5. Resale will probably suffer since the biggest V8 isn't part of the package.

Well put! Exactly how I feel

And exactly what is wrong with the 3.5 ecoboost? I do know the 5.0 is a nice engine too, but seriously, if the Limited only came in Ecoboost, is that such a bad thing?

Personally, I'm waiting for the 6 cyl 4L twin turbo diesel they shelved a few years back.

Sorry man.... But heres How i look at it.

More moving parts, more chances for something to go wrong, or breaks.

I prefer natural asperation... And fewer moving parts.

Just having a 6speed auto, was a bit for me.

But, nothing is better than a natural asperation.

Id rather have a mild v8, than a v6 working Its butt off just to keep up to the v8.

Without the turbos, the eco isnt anything... Period.

With the turbos the V6 isn't working it's butt off. Without them it would be.

Fair comparison would be to give a 5.4L and a 5.0L turbos... Until then the other motors Cant be snubbed properly.

Less moving parts in the Eco

Do research instead of just blindly making something up

It seems some would argue that the 5.4 sucks. I would agree... But not as much as the eco would, without Its turbos

That statement is once again stupid, that's like me saying the 5.0 would be nothing with out its pistons. The Eco was designed from ground up as a turbo motor.
I would be mad too if I found out a little 3.5 ltr made more tq then my big v8
