Nice looking truck.
Anyone hear why they went to a 2.7 from the 3.5? Do they offer both engines in Ecoboost now?

Re: going back to my roots!
I agree, its a fine looking Ford truck. Wouldn't mind having one myself but I have to keep a minimum of an F250 for towing my fifthwheel trailer. I wish they would turbo charge the 6.2 in the F150's that would make a great puller. The truck I now have has a V10 with a five speed. I really like it and it will do just as good as the power stroke on a long hard pull as long as you down shift and keep the RPM up on it. If I crater an engine it is not an expensive ordeal to replace it as it is a power stroke. I have a couple of friends that are driving late model power strokes and they are having some problems nothing major yet but a few nagging ones.

BOOST is fun!
Re: going back to my roots!
I've got a '13 Eco with the 3.5, crew cab and 4x4. It gets the stated mileage, pulls a trailer just fine with no drop-off on big hills and really gets down on ramps in a hurry making merging easy. Love driving it! It's even been known to pull an F650 down the road pretty well.
Congrats Joey, they are great trucks!
