... it lets everyone hear sounds in their trucks they never heard before and now complain to dealers and forums about everything.

...It's got more horse power and torque then all those "Loud" trucks..

Don't get me wrong, I love the V8's and Flowmasters, but every time some redneck in comes flying by me on a 2 lane when I'm already going 10 over the speed limit and his exhaust is roaring, I start laughing and debate for a second about putting my foot into the gas and showing him what makes a 'real' truck. But then I come back to reality and rember I'm not 22 any more.

When my salesman pulled up beside me to let me take my new '11 SCrew EB out for a drive, I asked him why he had shut it down and coasted up to the showroom..?? Then he explained it was still running... Sure impressed me..!!

I do miss the old "throaty growl" of my old 5.4 tho... Maybe the improved fuel economy will help me forget about it..!!

Ecoboost too quiet because: I can hear my stomach growl louder than the engine when I floor it..!!
