What are the specs? Rear end? Cab size? Wheelbase length?
Pros- going to be addicted to the massive TQ
con- you will forget you have a 5200lbs boat behind you as the EcoBeast surges up the hill past the speed limit lol
pro- you get to pull a bigger boat than your friend
con- you will have wait at the boat launch for your buddy as he is still working his way up the last hill
lol
no really issues with the truck bro! Congrats and welcome... Some folks have had the rare issues with condensation build up in the intake causing shuttering at certain speeds this is due to high humidity and a over effective intercooler. Again rare situation and if you haven't felt it (pretty pronounced shutter) doubt you have the issue. Not to worry as ford has addressed it and is ensuring trucks that are affected are fixed. It's a solid truck with a overbuilt motor that gets betters as it ages.

F150 Ecoboost ChatI currently have a BakFlip G2 tonneau cover that came with my truck 2 years ago, which puts it at about 3-4 years old (2015 truck). We recently had a fairly light hail storm, pea to quarter size, and it just absolutely peppered the panels of this "expensive" tonneau cover. Their manufacturer...- 15

Call it traction or wheel spin.
F150 Ecoboost ChatJust joined and I just bought a 2017 EB 3.5 Lariat. I love this truck but, Wheel spin is out of control. I realize it's me but it seems excessive especially when wet or just damp.- 17
