Default Who's happy with their decision Eco or 5.0L

Their seems to be several people on the fence as far as which engine to choose. So lets hear the good bad and evil of both.

I am completely happy with my 5.0L however if I had it to do over getting 3.73 gears would have been more of a priority when locating a truck.

Happy with my 5.0L. I may be biased as I could not get an ECO in a RCSB anyway. Pretty sure the supercharger will more than make up the difference.

Love my EB. 28k miles. Decent mileage and stupid power.

Love my Eco!! My face hurts from smiling so much. I have owned it for over 16 month now and can say without a doubt this is the best truck i have ever owned! No matter how many of you V8 guys think it sounds like a moped!

My Ecoboost has been great so far, no problems. Best Ford truck of the 8 I've owned.

5.0 for me. Extremely happy. Had the 3.73 gears on my previous and went with the 3. 55 this time. Unable to notice a difference between the two.
To be honest never considered the Eco. I am old school and believe a truck should have a V8

5.0 is a beast! She wakes up at about 4,000 rpms..only 2,000 miles on the ecoboost but so far so good
