May trade it soon for a new '13 EB with the 3.73's and FX4 package.

So i was fexting with the wife(fight + text) over some petty things....browsing the forums. Looking through some threads....some people politely telling everyone else that their "choice" was the right choice....anything else is just sh*t.

Starting browsings through some Detroit auto show facebook comments from some magazine articles......what do you know...some stiff calling the ecoboost weak sauce...like really....he test drove the v8 and commented the gas mileage little motor is for pansies.
Well by this time my panties are bunchin abit.
So off i go to google some 2010 truck stuff.....come across tundratalk, and there take on the ecoboost. So much miss information it was makin me sick......gas mileage, maintenace costs....overall premium ontop of the base 5oh motor....and that by the time you hit 120,000 miles it will cost you $2200 for two new turbos.......so go for the v8, it is a better motor....like really?
By this time (wife text yelling at me) guys knocking my choice of engine i choose in my truck, sh*t come to a head. So i started this little thread.
I like the choice's i made for my truck, and what it will do for me, and hopefully continue to be a good choice in the future.
And not once that i can think of i have ever sh*t rained on someone else's choice of engine....

Then you see some of them get all happy about the possibility of a TT 5.0!

Thing is, I enjoy reading about the other engines but some seem to spew a lot of bad info about the Eco. That's when the thread goes to crap.
And then they blame it on us :-(
