You will love the ecoboost however you will notice there is what sounds like the lifters tapping. Took it back to have it looked at and they said and one of the techs on here said it was do to the high pressures the fuel is pumped at that it is the injectors making the noise you can only hear it outside the truck but it is there for sure.. As long as it's normal not a big deal. I also traded my 2010 in with the 5.4 . Best thing I did . Enjoy win ya get it

If you are just 'thinking' about it now, I would just wait another four or five months and get a new '12. I think some of you will be pleased with the rumored [enhancements] for the next model year; especially if you are going the EB route. Time goes by fast, and the factory order 'window' on the '11s will most likely close in about 90 days (historically).

This is my personal plan.

Can someone school me on how the trade in works with out biting my head off... I have a 09 fx4 5.4 and I would like to trade it in for a 2011 lariat fully loaded with the 6.2, truck is 41,200. I still owe on my truck and I want to know what is the "up side down" I hear about.

Upside down is when you owe more than the truck is worth. You need to keep in mind what you put down if you had a trade and all the incentives you got when you bought current truck. Bottom line is figure out what the truck has cost you so far and what you owe at current pay off. Price the best deal you can get and if you can live with some lose go for it. I lost some in my trade but won't take long to make up the difference with fuel milage.
