Just picked this up last Monday and i'm in love! It's a 2013 F150 STX. It has 4 wheel drive, 5.0L, Towing package (Trailer brake, reciever hitch, limited slip, 36 gallon fuel tank etc), and the dealer had it Line X'ed. I just had a 20% tint done all the way around it. The truck is amazing! Eventually i plan on a lift with 35's and black wheels. Possibly 37's.. not sure yet.

Thought about going with the Eco boost V6, but to me a truck must have a V8. I just don't like the idea of a truck and a V6. Plus, you would think the eco boost would only benefit in power when its under boost? Then the additonal cost of running premium fuel.

I was also looking at the MPG people were getting with either engine.. and the 5.0L is within 1-2 MPG of the ecoboost.

you're better off with the 5.0. esp if you're keeping it for a long time. the mpg is a scam. a lot of people are getting worse than mpg with the eco vs the v8
