If you want a better engine, drive train, gas mileage, etc...buy a Tundra.

Fords v6 3.5 and 3.7 have outsold the 5.0 this year. I have both eco boost and 5.0. Heavy loads the eco will output the 5.0. Other than that not much differnce. If you have a heavy foot the ecoboost will drink more fuel. I have 66000 miles on ecoboost and has never had a problem, the 5.0 has 90000 miles and never had a problem either.

I had a 2012 F-150 with the Ecoboost. Just traded it in 2 months ago, never had any issues at all. The only reason i traded it in was due to the size of the camper we were buying I switched to the a diesel.

Love my ecoboost. Fuel mileage isn't what they claim but if you drive like a Grandma it's great.
90k changed one coil pack.

Honest question here...

Who are you insured with and, did your rates move in either direction?

I ask because, in the collision industry, this is a major debate and, this vehicle has cost us tens of thousands already. The industry is trying to pinpoint the additional expenses on the consumer. It has been documented that identical repairs on a 2014 F150 are approx. 28% less than they are on the 2015.

If you don't wish to post this information publicly, I do hope you'd be willing to do so in a PM.

Thanks for your time,
Corey Fisher

Don't fall for those $xxxx dollars off msrp crap. Only one way to buy any vehicle. Take the window sticker and build their truck on nada or edumonds. Get the exact msrp to make sure all options are selected. Take the invoice price and subtract rebates. A good deal is 500 or less above invoice minus rebates. Do not fall into being a payment buyer.

Congrats. Been having mine for 2-3 months. My first 6 cylinder truck ever. Love it!! I especially love the 35 gallon fuel tank!! All my last trucks with these tiny fuel tanks drove me nuts!
