2013 XLT SuperCab. Bought October 2012. 20,000 miles. I'd only buy another if they could guarantee that it will get as good mileage as this one has gotten. I think I'm getting better mileage with mine than anybody on this forum. Well, yeah, I'd buy another.

If I had to do it again I'd buy another, and another, and another. I'd get the V8 if I couldn't find an Eco equipped the way I wanted, but I think after I get used to the sound I'd want the Eco back. It's a tradeoff and I chose speed over sound. Nothing like that sweet, sweet low end torque. I find it fascinating that my truck will pull away from WRX's. Plus I get really great mileage when I want to. When I drive it the way I like to drive it, it drinks like a babied 6.2..lol.

But the fact that mine is tuned with a few other mods and blows away the 6.2ltr in torque and puts out a little more hp. Yet gets gas milage a little better then the 5.0 it can't be beat.

Would I buy another? In a heartbeat!!
I want an AWD 6 speed mustang with the 3.5ltr tuned EcoBoost!!
What does, "Been tuned for 20,000 miles." mean?

I have a buddy that has one and I liked it. My only issue is not having that v8 sound. Id buy one if I could ever get over the lack of v8 sound. Maybe 2015 when the atlas comes out?

Is the atlas going to be an f150 or it's going to be a different truck over all like the ford sport trac
