I finally bought a new truck and I'm happy to say it's a 2012 FX2 Ecoboost. After driving a Nissan Titan and a Toyota Sienna (great van by the way) and looking at Toyota Tundras, I went back to a domestic. Now long term reliabilty was an issue for me but one thing turned me toward the EB. Ford has enough faith in this motor to put it in police cars! If there is anyone who is going to trash this motor it's them and if Ford trusts this motor I'm going to give it a shot as well.

One very important note on whether to buy a 5.0 or a EB is that the turbo charged motor doesn't lose power at high altitude. I drove a 5.0 at 5k feet and found it to be gutless. Bought my EB at 2k feet and drove it to 6k feet and it didn't lose anything. I hope Ford has it together because this is a great truck and my wife said I can't get another vehicle ever (she's kidding right?).

Congrats on the new truck and make sure you post pics.

****ing useless without pics! I'm kidding of course.

All jokes aside it sounds like a great truck, you'll love it, I guarantee it, and welcome to the forums. I find you'll come to enjoy it here, then you'll lose your social life to mods for your truck that people come up with, and the hooligans on here will make you spend copious amounts of money. Just saying. Kidding again, of course.

congrats on the new truck! Can see you driving the Sienna (overpriced, and ugly, imo, but decent) but the Titan can't figure that one out... lol

You won't ever want a new vehicle now that you've got an F150 so I wouldn't worry too much about what your wife said. Chances are you will have a new wife before you need a new truck
