Didn't click on any of the videos or links, but from talking to our service guy at work he much prefers the Ecoboost over the 5.0. He had a 3.5 Ecoboost as the service truck until he got sideswiped and it totalled the truck.

The replacement truck is a 5.0 variant He stated that hills that the 3.5 buzzed right up that the 5.0 struggles with and has to constantly downshift to keep speed. His opinion is that the 3.5 is way better than the 5.0.

65% of F-150 buyers agree too...

Not like it really matters cause I doubt Chris ends up with an F150 anyway :lol:

My brother-in-law has an Ecoboost F150 and loves it. Pulls around an enclosed BBQ trailer to all sorts of BBQ competitions around the midwest. Not a problem at all towing. Not the greatest gas mileage towing, but generally people spend most of their miles without trailer.

Easy to pump up the power, if so desired, as well...

Yeah :p Although I wouldn't mind driving one. Comfortable as a cruiser, fun enough as a daily driver. Overpriced in typical BMW style though.
