The 6.2 is strong and dependable, not sure why ford would just dump it and go with the ecoboost. I'm a muscle kinda guy who loves the V8 power and sound. I maybe switching to the dark side when it's truck takes a dump. Either a gmc 6.2 or the new TRD pro tundra

What tuner do you have, I'm looking

09 f150 5.0 swap

There are alot of guys talking about the older f150 04 08 but mine is an 09 and already has a 6r80 I'm thinking this swap might be doable

Hmmm - IMO this isn't really a practical swap, and you'd be better off finding a platinum with a 6.2 and selling your current truck.

X2. I think this would be a classic case of the "devil in the details ".

I have the opportunity to purchase (trade) a 2011 6.2L Platinum, beautiful black truck. 47000 miles. Have not seen it or drove, but 2 carfax and certified. Should I trade my 2016 XLT 5.0?

I'm actually serious! Lol. The downside is obvious but I can't afford a current Platinum. Inforament? Speakers blown? Body panel rust? Frame rust? etc
