Who's drag racing their truck ?, if that's your thing..have fun and enjoy all that life has to offer, as for ME...I drove the Eco burst ,was not impressed,until I got on the highway, then it felt good, (not sure what the gearing was ),then I drove the 5.0, I liked the power delivery,the sound, and honestly..I didn't want to worry about a turbo....never mind two...and possible failure..

What are the differences between the 2 in the 1/4 mile and 0-60?

There's constant debate on this forum about which engine is better. Eco or 5.0?
Fine. I get it. Everybody wants to think what they bought is the best and if your truck makes you happy great. Fantastic! But I question all this hoopla about the Eco being SO much faster. WTF? I distinctly remember while extensively researching my purchase that most of the write ups comparing the two called it a toss-up. They were within a mpg of each other and the 0-60 times were within .5 of a second. Did any of you Eco groupies actually drive both trucks? I did. More than once. I'm no Dale Earnhart but I sure as hell didn't feel any difference. If you tow, I agree the Eco is probably the way to go. But stock? Pure acceleration? Every day driving? The Eco is a much faster 6,000 lb truck?
You guys are full of crap!

So you bought a rather small base v8 engine, albeit a very good base engine for the screw 4x4. And it bothers you people talk about the far greater power delivery of a more expensive engine option? Rubber ducky, maybe you're not the one that makes bath time lots of fun..... Get

I test drove both. As a matter of fact, I test drove both numerous times in different setups. I bought the 5.0. HOWEVER, the EB was noticeably quicker and more powerful. I took the 5.0 out cost and options at the dealer. There wasn't enough difference in power for my usage (towing a bass boat) but I have towed my boat with an EB as well, and it does tow better. Not to say that the 5.0 isn't great for it.

With just a tune on each the difference grows even greater. So you bought a rather small base v8 engine, albeit a very good base engine for the screw 4x4.

But to a more important issue, zx12-Iowa, can you provide the rest of the lyrics? I sing that to my 1 year old during bath time, but I cannot remember any other lyrics than that!
