Yea 5.0's beat mine too, when I drive at half throttle... I'm sorry, your reply was goofy. Hahaha no way ANY 5.0 beats an ecoboost unless the ecoboost is broken or the 5.0 is tuned and messed with. Why get a slower truck with less torque and power just because you don't tow?

5 horsepower difference ooooo the ecoboost is a monster ! The 5.0 can handle 1000 hp and daily drive all the eco boost is got is towing if you want to go fast you want a high reving engine with top end power if you want to tow you want low end torque. Both engines have a purpose but in no way is the 5.0 slow

I think the ecoboost direction that ford took is awesome. However.. The only reasons I bought my F-150 is because of the price and the coyote motor. I personally think that most of the new 4x4's out there are great trucks, at least for what I use them for. Racing another truck is cute and all but it's definitely not something I consider when I buy a truck. Yes, there is a kid in me and it loves the sound of the 5.0! Lol this is a F-150 forum right? I can see the that people would talk down on other brands because this is a Ford community but bashing on each other's motors? Meh... To each his own but in my opinion they are all great motors that serve a purpose, even if it is just to make feel super cool when I hear my 5.0 gurgle

Yup 5 hp is the only difference... You're right. The extra torque and fact that it comes in at about half the number of RPM'a as the 5.0 has nothing to do with why it destroys 5.0's... Isert89, you're projecting your ignorance when it comes to car knowledge. Stop now, or forever lose all credibility. LOL.
