Question If you had the oppertunity to..

Do it all over again would you still have gotten the ecoboost motor or would you have gone with the 5.0?

If you could reorder a truck would you go with the same thing or would you change anything?

Only thing I would have changed is buying my truck sooner. After having the 5.4 in my 2009 Lariat and then driving both the 5.0 and eco it was very simple for me. The eco.

Only reason I say yes, is because I could of gotten a White FX4 no goodies other than backup cam, and tailgate step with the 5.0! I would have went with the 5.0 if I knew the mpg difference was only about 1mpg different!

As I really like the painted bumpers and door handles, vs. All the chrome! Could of had the FX4 for $500 more! Oh well, too late now...

Seeing as I have both a 5.0 and an EB in the driveway...

I'd have thrown a 6.2 in the FX4 instead. Muahahahaha!

Umm, are you only asking people that have ecos if they would stay or go or if anyone would change? Seems like you ask both.

I'd stay with my 5.0. I do like my brothers eco that has a backup camera and I would have looked harder for a truck with 3.73 gears. I break traction at 75mph but would run a better time on 3.73 in 4wd.

I'd still order a new unit with the ECO-Boost.

I don't really care about the milage---->I love the POWER!

But the economy is a bonus!! LOL

I did have the opportunity to do it over again. I took my 13 STX SCab and traded it for a 13 XLT SCrew 5.0. lol. It's what I should have gotten in the first damn place but I let the slick ***** talk me into the other truck. Oh well live and learn. Much happier with the XLT
