The diesel looked bad ass and would pull like a freight train but it also rode like a tank and was a bit of a pain in the ass for a daily driver. If I towed more often and it was more weight then I would have probably kept the diesel but for my needs the eco fits the bill much better and it is much more fun to drive.

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

Sad to see the diesel go. I loved that truck when I saw it in person. I can see your point you on using that for a daily driver and not towing much though. I do hear great things about the new ecoboosts though.

Wow. That diesel was badass, heard the ecos run VERY well. Guess you had to give them your testicles when you traded it in? J/K!
Two awesome trucks right there - I can definitely see how the EcoBoost will be a better compromise for what you need.

That 6.7 looks amazing! Would have been a hard trade for me! Nice ecoboost tho

Nice truck! I love the way the new F150s look.
The new Eco-Boost is badass, my pap got one. Plays the built ford tough commercial between the tach and speedo when you start it. Very nice truck!

If it aint broke, Dont fix it.
Have to do something about the stance of the 150. It just doesnt look right yet. Probably going to level it and 33's but I still have the wheels and tires from the 250 so lifting it and 35's is also an option.
The 33's fit more into my goal of daily driver friendly though! lol
Both nice looking trucks! That diesel looks bad ass though. They both have the same bolt pattern now? I vote a real lift and 35s though.

No, not the same bolt pattern. Can use the tires but not the wheels.Originally Posted by Steve-0

Will your programmer work on the new truck?

I've always wanted an F250 diesel in that body style! But then I spend a day or two riding around with my friend that has one and then I love climbing back into my F-150 Super Crew.

It's time for us to trade the 05. Reg cab + kids = you need an upgrade. We're pretty settled on Sterling Gray FX4 screw with the luxury package. I like the red candy, but she doesn't. I wouldn't let her get a black Mustang so she won't allow a black truck.
Anyway's...did you guys who got them drive both the 5.0 and the EB? I know there's tons of pissing matches all over about the two, just looking for your opinions.
