BrianS Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Got my EcoBoost last night. All I have to say is, WOW Ford you out did yourself this time. This is by far the best truck I have ever owned or driven. I also could get away with saying the best vehicle I have ever driven or owned. When people in general see this truck, they just get a big grin and say WOW. So Ford is bringing smiles to everyone...B Edited February 9, 2011 by BrianS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a rumor going around that the ecoboost doesn't qualify for any of the current rebates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bunch, but what helped is that i am a member of USAA and used their car buying service as a bargaining tool... OBTW call the Ford Corporate number and ask for the flyer they sent it to me and it had a $750 coupon in it. got my Lariat Supercrew with off road 4x4, candy red, nav and Captains chairs for around 40700...It was under 41000...

BrianS Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 The dealer I got mine from I dont care much for. I had some issues with them in the past. My sales lady was good the other...well.. Had to use them since no one is giving up EcoBoosts...OBTW they have another like mine there but it has the triple while pearl paint job...

BrianS Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ok think I got the pic so it will post here... Today I added the Ford molded splash guards/mud flaps and the bed liner. Dealer I bought the truck from tried to take me to the cleaners for $499 for the liner but went to other dealer and got it for half that...B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Will do. I keep detailed records of that. The first tank is going to be bad since I sat outside the house with truck running. Was trying to figure out all the gadgets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Was hard for me. Like the spray on but don't have time for it right now. Also I think the factory liner helps as a buffer from shock. But spray on has more corrosion protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme4x4 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sorry guys, but I think everyone asking for fuel economy is pretty funny. For the first 6-months, it will probably be pretty bad. After all, who goes out and buys their new powerhouse torque monster, and drives it like there is an egg under the accelerator. I think we should revisit this in 6 months. To the OP, congrats, and it looks like a beautiful truck. The funny thing is, the way you ordered it, is how me and the hubby built one online. Only our price was much higher than yours. LOL It just seems like a great replacement for our V10, but we would be going backward and don't drive enough to make it worth it. I just love the Ecoboost engine.

V10 replacement...There is a gentleman back home who is retired. His wife and him spend a lot of their retirement pulling an RV and they also trade trucks every 2 years. Since Ford doesn't make a V10 anymore they bought the 6.2L. He is pulling the same RV and got 4 more MPG. He didn't specify if he was getting MPG from the gauge or actually adding it up on paper...B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddlepirate56 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nice looking Truck Brian!! I would also go with the spray in bed liner for the durability and value. Of course it all depends on how long you think you will keep it and what goes back there. For my neck of the woods, I have already locked in with the local Rhino dealer the price to do mine (6.5 bed) when it arrives. After that I am going with a hard tri fold cover for the back. Catch you all later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
