Default New guy and new FX4 ecoboost

So far so great the only problem I,m having is this website, it seems everytime I look at it my wallet gets lighter. But seriously I read a lot of posts and got alot of great info before I bought my truck. So far I,ve added a sprayin bed liner a 2inch daystar leveling kit and tomorrow I,m going to buy some Mamba m3s and nitto trail grapplers. That should do it for awhile.

The EB may be great for towing and hauling. I've got a friend here locally that bought a new EB right after they were available and he doesn't get any better fuel mileage than my 4.6 3V.

Congrats on the truck! I think you will love it. I have an FX2 and sometimes wish I had gotten the FX4. I don't need the 4x4 anytime in the next couple years, but I love the truck so much I hate thinking that I will have to trade it in ><.

Shortride, it's kinda a jerk move to come into this new guys thread and talk about how your mpg's are better then what his could be. I'm pretty sure if he wanted to know what other truck drivers where getting he would of asked.

So your 4.6 gets the same mileage as an ecoboost...with LESS POWER! Glad to hear it...
