[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 10267203, member: 87570"] You know, there usually isn't much going on in the F150 thread, so it's kinda fun to see some active debating going on here. This infighting has been entertaining, and is much better than the normal stagnation in this forum. That being said -> I think I just heard the bell ring for the next round ;-) I believe the 5.0 and 6.2 meet the requirement really well. The 5.0 is a great value, gets mileage as good as if not better than the competition, and makes competitive power as well. I believe it will hold it's own against much larger engines from Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota. The 6.2 does one thing well... haul a##. Unfortunately there it suffers in the mileage department. But for many, power is what matters most. The tree huggers like hybrids, not performance cars. They'd prefer the 31 mpg base V6 if they were to venture into Mustang-land. I figured the subject of the EcoBoost in the Mustang would eventually come up. The 5.0 Mustang has a much better ring to it than a turbo V6. I would much rather buy a 5.0 Mustang instead of an Ecoboost Mustang. Front engine, rear drive, V8 power is the key recipe for the 'Pony car'. However, I understand your example (because you feel the same way about the F150 as I do the Mustang), but here's where you and I differ... If Ford chose to offer the EcoBoost in an SVO Mustang [U]while still keeping the 5.0[/U] in the GT, I wouldn't whine, witch and moan about the existance of the Ecoboost. I would simply buy the one I wanted. BTW, you're the only one here who said the 5.0 was inferior to the Ecoboost. The two can coexist... they just fill different niches. [/QUOTE]
