New truck?
Hey everyone, iv been thinking about getting a new 2011 or 2012 ecoboost f150. I'm not too familiar with ford because my family has always had Chevys and I'll be the first to cross over. Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice or do's and don'ts in my decision?

And another thing.If you are going to be towing alot like me,the eco boost will put a big smile on your face.They feel like a diesel without the noise.If you are wanting a great mpg truck, get the 3.7.That said if want a ecoboost with the best possible mpg consider getting something higher geared than the 3.73.Thats what i have and it does tow like a dream BUT i could have probably done better all the way around with 3.55.

I've owned my 2012 ecoboost for a little over a month and I love it. Who doesn't love 365hp with 420 foot pounds of torque? I've raced all makes and models with my truck and more times than not I've won. I highly recommend getting one!

I have a '12 EB FX2 with 3.55 gears and tow a 7200# travel trailer. It tows great.
But even when I am not towing, I love the ride and feel of this truck.
The thing I think I like most is the electronic steering. Now that I am used to it, I can't hardly drive my wife's Armada. Feels like there is a problem with the steering in the Armada.
Just decide what you want, then test drive one.
Even if you decide not to go F150, at least drive one - and make it an EB.
