I couldn't resist the turbo chargers...
Then a chassis dyno means nothing either.
From my experience ( several thousand miles in a 5.0 and a few test drives in a ecoboost )
The 5.0 down shifts all the time which makes me hate the 6...
Actually the torque makes a huge noticeable difference.
It's been talked about and I'm looking but it's hard to find one equipped like I like for a reasonable price.
My dad's '12 mpg readout is always spot on and I have a very hard time believing the...
JB, all that **** you talked and you have no idea... The sticker on an ecoboost is 19 highway...
Most used ecoboost I've looked at (2013's with 20-40k miles) show around 17 mpg on their trip...
And the 1500s have airbags
:laughing:
Work is suppose to be switching me to a vehicle allowance for this truck so I'm pretty sure they will be expecting me to maintain a vehicle in nice or new condition. Also if they stop paying me I...
That's pretty good, without a trade-in I'm figuring to get 10-11k off sticker, hopefully.
What was the sticker and what did you pay? Not including ttl, if you don't mind.
It's ridiculous what people pay for a used ( or new ) raptor.
Damn y'all, I would have got an ecoboost if I never asked but maybe I should stick with the 5.0. Does anyone have any insight on resale? I really don't plan on keeping this truck for very long.
I've been figuring about 10k off sticker for the fords and rams
So far, I've found better pricing on f250s with the 6.7 than the ecodiesel. Also finding a 4x4 is damn near impossible or takes a long wait and the 2wd sticker mpg is 20/28. The ecodiesel is a $4000...
Do you know what kind of mechanical issues? I know there are a lot of unhappy people who thought they were going to get 20 mpg, but I would be happy with the same mpg as a 5.0 and more power.
Ford has traditionally fit bigger people better. I've been in a 13 and wasn't impressed, maybe the 14 is better.
I drove a ram ecodiesel and was impressed, but I doubt the mpg gains will actually make up for the price difference and the ford has a more comfortable cab. If the ecodiesel was a 4 cylinder cummins...
Ya a 3/4 ton that gets the same or better mpg you describe with 37's and can do long smokey burn outs has me spoiled.
Be surprised what a tuned 5.0 can do?
This second truck would be required for a potential new job
Super charger sounds expensive.
Ford is making more ecoboost these days and the price is almost the exact same. Also I'm noticing a lot more used ecoboost which doesn't make me feel great either.
Yes and that's the main reason I'm leaning towards one. What are some good points about the 5.0, besides exhaust?
Also it looks like exhaust, inter cooler, and tune will get you up to ~450hp...
Being that they are both quiet from ford I don't care much about the exhaust tone. Also since when have turbo chargers sounded bad?
I like my dodge over the raptor, I'm buying a new truck to commute through Houston ( and yes it will still be 4x4 even though it's totally not needed ).
Does anyone have any experience or insight with either of the options in a new f-150? I'm in the market for a new truck and can't swing a raptor or diesel as I plan on keeping my dodge.
