[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 10261093, member: 87570"] Don't get me wrong. I, too, feel like a V8 is a preferred choice in any vehicle, especially the F Series and the Mustang, but as long as Ford offers good V8's, I don't mind them trying to offer good V6's too. The Ecoboost's great performance doesn't take away from the 5.0 or 6.2... it just adds another great choice to the F150 lineup! If you don't like the EcoBoost, that's your choice, and that is why Ford is offering the 5.0 and 6.2L V8. I myself would drive all three engines before I made a buying decision, but if you only want to consider the 5.0 and 6.2, that's fine. Don't try to impose your will on everyone by stating that because you don't like an engine, Ford shouldn't offer the engine as an option to anyone. Now, had Ford decided not to offer any V8, THAT would have been worth rioting over. Ford is offering an option for everyone. Don't complain about the choices, just choose the one that's best for you.:beer: If your complaint is that a truck with 420 ft-lb @ 2500 rpm can out-tow a truck with 380@4250, well, I'm afraid that is just physics at work.
