The only thing I know for sure, I'm not going to buy another ecoboost again...my warranty had just expired and the startup noise started about a month after. I had my truck in the shop 10 times in 2 separate dealerships before it was fixed. The dealership threw about 120 parts at it before it was finally fixed. Each time cost me my deductible. The last time in the shop was when i was out of town and the mass airflow sensor was apparently the problem that was making it hesitate...so dang frustrated with it.
Should be simple enough, just don't buy and engine with a mass air flow sensor....

I am far from a fan boy of 5.0's. I just happen to own one. If you have seen any of my posts on the eco vs V8 debate, I am a fan of both types of engines. Many here will concure with my statement since they judge my thoughts on the subject based off more than one post. If it makes you feel better about yourself to label me or others, then have at it. But making ignorant assumptions is something that usually comes back on you and makes you look foolish.

Engineered
"Few hard points were fixed at the Coyote's conception, but a handful were quickly set. The new engine's point of departure was the existing 4.6 modular architecture. It would not use EcoBoost- Ford's combination of direct fuel injection and turbocharging-but it would be engineered to withstand forced induction and to package EcoBoost fuel injectors in the future. The new engine would be as physically small as possible while physically stronger than the 4.6. Naturally, the team quickly landed on 5.0 liters of displacement. It needed to make 80 hp per liter, or 400 hp. Best of all, as a performance engine the Coyote development team knew the importance of delivering an exciting engine, one that just didn't meet its numbers, but had the precision and responsiveness enthusiasts crave."
