Default Need Some Help

Ok i need a little bit of help. I bought a 2012 f150 screw ecoboost. I really want a FX4 so i think i am going to trade my truck in on a 13 FX4. Heres the problem I cant decide if i want to keep the Ecoboost or get the 5.0. The ecoboost is fun but i miss the V8 sound and attitude if you will. Some input would be nice. Thanks Matt

Depends what you want / value more. If ya got the cash roush makes a supercharger for the 5.0. I miss my old 4.6 but been liking the EB more everyday.

x's that about 400K.

OBVIOUSLY you have now owned the Ecoboost for a while and you "miss" something that only the v8 can provide.

Get the v8 since the "sound" and "attitude" is what you want and obviously don't need the extra downlow torque. If you aren't towing heavy loads, the 5.0 does everything you need.
