Quick update:

So far I'm north of 2200 miles and I'm very happy with choosing the ecoboost. Plenty of power, I can pass people on the highway without down shifting, easily do long smokey burn outs and I just enjoy how it drives ( compared to the 3.73 geared 5.0 ). The e-locka and 4x4 are awesome, but traction control blows. I'm currently working in houston so mpg has been: city commute ~18mpg, country living 15-16 mpg, hauling two kayaks on a trailer 12-13 mpg, driving 75-80 16-17mpg, also driving 80-85 14-16mpg. Driving in the city is awesome, however I'm a little disappointed with how the mpg drops off so much at speeds of 75.

I'm probably going to tone done the suspension upgrades some and focus on the dodge. I want to keep the ride height the same, maybe lower the back an inch and go with a similar set-up the raptors have. Definitely want to get a tuner and other bs, but will probably stick with the factory tires and wheels for a while.
