I went from a 2006 5.4 too a 2009 5.4. I test drove the 2009 and was like holy sh*t when I jumped on it during the test drive. I feel as of though it runs smoother, shifted better, better throttle response and way more power. Just my opinion.

Pitch Black

The 5.4 has my vote...good engine.

That's how I felt coming from a 2005 to driving a 2010, couldn't believe it was the the same engine.

I have a 2010 5.4 KR and I love the truck. Recently had the tranny re flashed and now it is shifting much better. My only complaint is that sometimes when I get on it, the tranny doesn't shift into passing gear, rather it just accelerates in the same gear. I drove my friends 07 with the 5.4 and I really think the 09 and up is way better. I also think the 5.4 is a better choice than the Eco Boost because the 5.4 is a proven engine and doesn't seem to be having the same problems as the Eco Boost.

Just my .02 Cents

I have the 5.4 and 80,000 + kms and love it.
I have a Lariat, and I love it.

Keep looking for a 5.4 Lariat is what I would do.

You're buying a full size truck. Do not let MPG's be even a remote factor in your purchase. The difference will be negligible and unless you put an ungodly amount of miles on per year something that will never "even out."

Just say **** it and get a 5.0, you will NEVER regret it

If you are asking for opinions I would tell you to go with the EB. I own one and I love it. Tons of power and OK fuel mpgs for a truck. Just drive both and go with what you like best.

I drive 45 minutes one way to my girlfriends house... I average around 25,000 - 30,000 miles a year... That is where I'm looking at mpgs haha
