Default The wife wants to trade in the 3.5 for a 5.0

So my wife and I were driving back from dinner earlier tonight and she asked if we could trade the 3.5L in for the 2013 5.0L. She test drove the 5.0 when we were buying and said she loved how much more powerful the 5.0 was over the 3.5 but said it was not needed. I guess now she changed here mind. She also thought that the 5.0 sounded better. What do you guys think?


EDIT: For those posting a comment about this, please read post #45 first. Thanks and enjoy your F-150 no matter what engine is in it.

1st.) Please no one start a mother****ing debate over the two motors. Please look up the numerous debates about the subject.
2nd.) Who's truck is it again?

I have owned many, many Fords over the years, numerous 5.0's in a lot of them. ( 302's) None can hold a candle to this current generation 5.0.

You are really going to sit there and tell us the 5.0 has more power then the ecoboost? Are you mildly retarded?

Does your wife haul stuff with her truck? Does she care about gas mileage?
