2.7EB vs 3.5EB?

Yes, you hardly even push the pedal the make an EB go unloaded. I've never needed more than part throttle towing 6000lb. I have done WOT unloaded and it's scary how much power these engines make silently.

I just bought a new 18 3.5 ecoboost F150, with the 10 speed tranny... jeepers creepers can that thing go, and quickly...

Do you mean the truck of choice among those unwilling to pay for a Ford truck ???:D

No, he means truck of choice because his Ford dealer was unwilling to get him what he wanted.
The Ford dealer did not want to find me what I wanted, so I stopped looking. While browsing a high volume Ram Dealer (#1 Ram truck dealer in the Province for 10 years and counting.) I found a sweetheart of a deal on a 2017 Ram SXT.

I test drove a 16 F150, was a nice truck, and this Dodge is every bit as nice.

You were looking for HD payload ratings on the Fords ( I think, or was that someone else?). Does this Ram offer the HD payload now, or did the better deal trump that? I know Ram bumped their ratings over the past couple of years, but I don't know if they got over the 1 1/2 tons (max) that Ford offers. The coil springs should give a nice ride. That makes a nice Christmas present, but hard to get under the tree. :D

I went shopping last year for a new Ford f150 super crew 4X4 lariat spoke with the ford dealer I wanted the 5.0 liter engine.They fought me tooth and nail trying to sell me a echo boost engine which I did not want.I ended up buying a 2016 Ram 2500 crew cab laramie with 6.4 hemi for about the same price.Could not be happier with my truck so far only 20,000 miles.

I know how it is dealing with dealers that don't want your business! The only thing that's kept me out of a RAM truck is the two dealers in my area aren't the best when it comes to service after the sale or pulling shady things on you. It's a shame too because I really like the 2019 RAM that's coming! What is the SXT package you mentioned your truck was? I'm familiar with Trsdesman, Big Horn (my favorite), SLT, and Laramie.

No offense Will but I hope the hood isn't latched. Or that's the worst fit I've seen in a while...
