Interesting. How much are those tunes costing? Few hundred?

Probably between $400-$500 for an SCT X4 tuner and tunes. I paid under $400 for the tuner and 3 tunes during the black Friday sale.

I got a 2014 Screw with the EB and a 3.15 ratio locking rear axle. Like you, I didn't get it to tow, just a daily driver. The higher speed rear axle will keep the rpm down some at higher speeds and help maximize economy. JMO

That seems to make a pretty good difference on a heavier truck like a loaded up crew cab. But my 2014 regular cab short bed w/4.10's gets more MPGs than my 2011 Scab w/3.73's got.

hasn't Ford been building 302's about forever??

I don't understand why everybody acts like the 5.0 can't tow. I just pull a trail from at.louis to philly and back,and had no problems. I've heard the 5.0 does better on gas mileage while pulling a trailer. I know it does way better than my 5.4 I had.

Because there's no low end torque man!!!!!!! Can't tow a trailer unless you have turbos duh!!!! 5.0 can't get out of its own way! 5.0 is gutless! dont you know?!!

Exactly!
Not much has changed since they went from carbureted to EFI in 1980. That's like 35 years of consistent unchanged proof that this is a solid drive train. Long live the 302!

besides any other reason, aftermarket 5.0L badges look way better than the girlie ecoboost badge.

5.0 is completely different as of 2011
