Hello all, I was involved in a head on collision from a drunk driver and im looking to pay cash for the new 2013 platinum or similar trim once i can start walking (i start physical therapy tomorrow). Ive been browsing these forums for awhile since i was in the hospital and figured id go ahead and register. Im unsure which engine i will be looking into. I like the ecoboost, but im wary to the lifespan being it is a turbo.

Injuries:

-Torn aorta, heart stint
-Shattered left ankle
-Spider fractures to my right heel (deep piece of meat from my right foot)
-torn ligament just below my knee with a pretty long gash to the bone
-left elbow cut to the bone
-collapsed lung
-fractured pelvis (plate put in)






If you look closely, you can see my shoes wedged up under the dash.








Don't drink and drive.

 

WOW your lucky your alive from that bad wreck, hope you get better soon so you can buy and enjoy your new f150. And to answer your engine question i would buy a 5.0 over ecoboost.

And before i forget, Welcome to the Forum.
