I finally broke down and replaced my old 89 K2500 with a new Ford F-150 FX4 crew cab with ecoboost. It'll be my wifes daily driver. I've always been a GM person, but I must say that the Ford with ecoboost is hard to beat. I can't believe how loaded trucks are today, although I probably wont be happy when I need to replace 20" tires. The only bad thing is the bed is only 5 and a half feet, what were they thinking? You can get a 6 and a half foot model, but they're harder than hens teeth to find. I'll just pull a trailer if I need to haul anything larger. Amazing deals, $10700 off MSRP. Now back to figuring out all the gadgets!

Congrats. The ecoboost has been good to me. Do you plan on putting that power to work or just like the extra oomph?

See if you still have the ecoboost 26 years from now.

It's strange with all the Ford Eco TV advertising they fail to mention the fuel mileage! ????
Dodge is advertising an Eco PU and are not afraid to state mileage!

Congrats on the new truck. You will probably be surprised at how little you really need a truck with a long bed. Don't listen to the haters.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, and don't want to be grouped into the "hater" category, but I use all 8' of my bed.

Nothing cracks me up more than seeing a "load" of firewood in a 5.5' bed. Sure got a lot of HP under the hood to move 1/2 the wood.

Like you say, good thing it'll pull a trailer.
