[QUOTE="funmoneypit, post: 15240345, member: 177540"] Go to the f150forum. You will get a lot of info and a lot of disagreement. I have a '14 Lariat super crew and love it. I did opt for the 5.0. The tensioner problem you state is more of the 5.4's if I am not mistaken. The 5.0's have a tick problem along with other issues. You have captured most of the eco issues. They are both good motors and you will find people with issues with both motors. I would try to buy the newest model you can afford of either motor you choose as some issues get better in the later years. If you go eco, read the threads on drilling a small hole in the bottom of your h/e. That is where the condensation builds up and can lead to your engine ingesting a gulp of water. Last year when we got the wife a new Escape, we did get the eco. It's a 4 cylinder of course, not the 6 but still an eco. We will see how both go. Good luck in your search. You will love how big the super crew is. I came from an extended cab Chevy and there is no comparison in the cab and accessibility. [/QUOTE]
