Do I need 4wd?

I live in Indiana and only use my 4 wheel drive in the winter and only on the side streets mainly since snow removal is pretty good here. The only reason I'd get it if you don't think you need it is resale value. Seems like more people are looking for 4x4 than 2wd. In my opinion.

^ very nice falcon
KBS- Im not downing the 3.7 but the fact that even that satisfied you as far as speed makes me feel that i will really love the EB or 5.0.
I love the blacked out look of the FX just cant decide if its worth the extra cost. From you guys have seen what is an FX2 Screw actually selling for? Or point me to the right thread. My local dealers have them listed at $31k

31K for an FX2? I really should have went across the border to buy my truck. Sounds like I would have saved a lot of money.
Get the ecoboost. Ecoboost is what I originally wanted. Torque on that thing is pretty awesome. Fuel economy of the 3.7, power when you need it.

EB and 4x4 gave the most payload for a 145" SCrew which is why I opted for 4x4. 4x4 will have better resale which in my case won't apply since I plan to run this for a long, long time. Payload is king if you want to have a useful truck.

Probably the weight of the transfer case and front differential and so on.

On more meds than ymeski
I looked at an XLT Ecoboost as well. Same price but I liked the sound and looks of the Fx better. You really can't go wrong with either.
