Yessir we’ve been there since 97. I live in Monroe
There is No reason to Buy an F150 EV OR Ecoboost.

The NEXT step after ecoboost is ELECTRIC.
The big truck engines and trans are designed that way. Commercial equipment is designed very different than consumer grade stuff.
It's relatively straight forward to design for high torque low rpm or high HP high rpm. Both can be designed to last their intended duty cycle. Optimizing efficiency and cost for the application is the challenge, and why big trucks get the Diesel cycle and race cars use the Otto cycle.
Yep, gonna have to agree with Tezz on this one.
I had the option of 3.5 or 5.0 when I bought my truck in '18.
I keep my stuff a LONG time...so the thought of driving a vacuum cleaner with stock exhaust, or UPS truck with aftermarket exhaust for the next 10-15 years..? 5.0 all the way!
I ruin my MPG's by buying trucks with the deepest optional gear and immediately adding level/lift kits and MT tires...so that wasn't even in the equation.

Regarding the HD discussion, our X15s typically go 900k-1 million miles before a liner drops. It’s almost predictable. Some go sooner, but I have yet to see one go north of a million before needing in-frame. They’re also on a middle of the road “tune” that leans towards fuel economy and limited to 70mph so that could help a bit with longevity as long as the trans isn’t set to performance. Ya know, mostly automatics in fleets nowadays.
IDGAF about your N/A 5.0. And my stereo hits harder as well

No one wants to hear your TwoPop ShaPow blaring at the local cars and coffee.
IDGAF about your ears either, you gonna hear my rebassed try that in a small town!No one wants to hear your TwoPop ShaPow blaring at the local cars and coffee.
This thread makes me want to find an old Ford LTL 9000 and swap a C18 Cat into it.
That, and the raw water cooled heat exchanger for the engine coolant. You can run that thing right off the top all day long without issue.
I enjoyed mine while I had it, but I don't see myself buying another.

How you look to the rest of the F-1Fiddy community when you defend and brag about your ecoturd…
I think you're butt hurt over the name. Ecoboost...it does sound terrible. But, it's just another engine with turbos that puts out more power and torque than yours. I think that is what this is all about. It's about power and torque isn't it.

I’m butt hurt that ford had the audacity to put a V6 engine the size of a soda bottle in an Fseries.
But why didn't it work? Unless you have a blower on your 5.0.....you missed the bus. Enjoy that sound though

all jokes aside…
I had a 2019 2.7. It was meh.
I enjoy this 2022 5.0L WAY more.
Also, butt dyno says this truck is faster than that 2.7L.
Yeah I had an 13 and 18 2.7 and if you are not towing that is said to be the recommendation all things considered. Like I said though I would go back to a 5.0 if I changed it up. I think my needs are simplicity the older I get. Maybe I'll find a good used Raptor R oneday and have the best of both worlds.
Track results:
2021 F150 2.7 4x4 Supercrew - intake, intercooler, 93 tune = 13.2
2020 F150 5.0 4x4 Supercrew - intake, catback, 93 tune = 13.5
2020 F150 5.0 4x4 Supercrew - intake, catback, E85 tune = 12.8
Been wanting to go back to the track on E30 and E50 to see what my truck runs. I don't think it can run E85 without a larger HPFP or larger injectors. Dont know about the low pressure pump in the tank.
Id hope for 12.50's on E50 if it doesnt wheelhop itself to death off the line.
