I picked up my new 2013 Eco last Wednesday. I got everything I wanted! XLT Blue Jean Blue w/pinstripe, Eco, 4x4, Crew Cab, power rear window, center console and a bed liner. It was actually hard to find all those options in the same truck. A lot had everything but not the center console or console but not power rear window. So far I love this truck! I was driving a 96' Ford Aerostar that recently hit 300k, so I was due for something nice. The gas mileage you can get cruising on the hwy is great. Obviously flat ground at 65 is the best and of course downhill. With a truck that big, with pickup and 4x4 I'm happy if I can get 18, but I can see myself getting more especially doing mostly hwy. I am however concerned about people post about this condensation issue, loss of power and shuddering (whatever that means). I've seen people say there has been a new CAC part that has fixed it. Should I see if my new truck has that or not?? I have noticed mine idle a slight bit rough on the 1st cold start up. You can feel the truck shake a slight amount. I have seen others post about it and people have responded that is normal with a turbo engine. Is everyone having this happen when they start up?? If not everyone is..... then it isn't normal. I noticed it with 67miles on it when I start it up to take it home. Other then these couple concerns I am digging this truck! I think with forums like this you read the problem section and all of a sudden you start to panic. I'm assuming every car forum is like that....this is my 1st forum. Glad to be apart of it. Thanks
