Hey guys, well I’m currently looking at “down sizing” my fleet & just having a truck instead of the TDI & my Sierra & I’ve been shopping around & really the only thing I like that’s out right now is the ecoboost f150. So I wanna see if anyone has had any experience with these yet. What people who own them think of them before I go buying 1. ---

I was debating getting a used diesel but part of me wants to go brand new & be the only 1 maintaining it. I got the TDI certified & it’s been awesome (knock on wood) but I only got that used b/c I wasn’t really a fan of the mk6 back when I got mine. Buying a new diesel is just something I can’t do. ---

Having a diesel truck now, after driving just about every other platform of vehicle out there over the years (from NA FWD 2 door all the way to lifted gas SUV and everything in between) I will say that NOTHING has given me the overall driving satisfaction of a DD as my Mega Cab does. 20+ MPG, enough room to haul around all the hot bitches I could ever pull (or 3 real fat ones), and enough grunt and go to pull a house off it’s foundation or outrun unsuspecting mustangs on the highway. I say fuck buying anything with a gas engine if you want a truck. ---
