I work on them 5.0 is the way to go. When that Eco goes out of warranty you will be sorry

Mike, what is the warranty on the Eco? 3 years? If so, thats not long. I really like the Eco and I'm a chevy guy but Ford has a good idea there with the power and fuel economy that the 6 cylinder engine provides. For trailer pulling the 5.0 just does not have what the Eco can do. And, I'm not a diesel lover so that idea is out...... The 6.2 is a gas hog I'm sure.....

But, your right.....the 5.0 would be the best choice if your not towing a heavy travel trailer, unless there is some other option?

Bah, its got blue oval disease. Nothing is good.

3 years or 60k turbo is nice and it pulls hard. I dont like first year of any new car/powertrain 5.0 has plenty till you start pulling more than 9000 lbs

i have always been a gm guy, but ford has more head room. being 6' 3" and 250, gm has no room for big guys.

 

[RodneyPierce]

i can atest to that.. i am 6'7 and ever since they changed the steering wheel tilt to a up and down instead a accuall tilt that has screwed me.. honeslty dodge has more room than any of them but i just can't bring myself to buying one. to many rear end and tranny issues.and there resale is junk not that any of them get great resale by any means.
