Those eco boosts are the only ford motor I will touch. The power and acceleration and towing capabilities blow the v8 away and I have had both the 5.4 and the 3.5 and looking at possibly getting a 2.7 as well. The 3.5 is a beast


I know too many that have had issues with the turbos. some have had the turbos go and really mess things up internally. if guys are having problems prior to 70k I don't want a part of that. that is why I never got a gm with AFM. too many issues with lifters.

I'm not that concerned with performance. I can do anything I want with that 5.4. the real problem is the 150's limitations vs a 3/4 ton. that is why I would just get a used Chevy/gm 2500 with a 6.0 before buying anything new.
