Well I'm either going diesel or possibly chevy next time maybe Dodge, no nevermind that's crazy talk.

I do love those new chevy 2500 high Country

I'm with you wished I'd gotten the 5.0 I just don't know if I trust an ecoboost.

I think your thoughts on trading it while still under warranty is your bet bet. I have a 2013 XLT 5.0 and love it, get a combined 19 mpg on my daily commute to work. (20 miles)

Im not sure what to do. my gut told me to get the 5.0 to start with but i thought the boost was badass. might just go trade it in on a toyota when they get the turbo installed
