| I have there years in an ecoboost and love it. It pulls like crazy. I figure the extra money you pay outweighs any cost advantage, but we're talking about a relatively small amount of money when you compare the gas consumption between a 5.0 and the EB. Between the two, I'd bet the way you drive will have a larger cost impact than which engine is in the truck. In any case, the EB is a joy to drive. Seriously, it has a ton of torque and it puts a smile on my face regularly. Even if it uses 10% more gas than the 5.0 (I don't think it does, but for the sake of argument) on top of the $1,500 or whatever it cost to upgrade in the first place, it's totally worth it.
Oh, and I can't help but add that if all the ecoboosts start breaking down at 150,000 miles Steve Hubert should win a medal. Or an engineering job. Heh heh | |
