Well, it is Official as of a few hours ago. The Eco is no more part of my family. I will check in from time to time, not to check on the advancement, improvements of the EcoBoost. Nor to hear all the bragging of all you Eco Owners, but because you are all such a great group of members. You all mesh well together and are a true pleasure to visit with.

My hats off to the Mods of the sight for bringing together such a well run and blended forum. I wish you all the absolute best in life. Keep it between the ditches and take care.

As my parting photos, if you will allow me to show my replacement vehicle:

FWIW: It does fit in the garage, it's tight, but it fits!!!!

Looks good and you're always welcome here! Eco owner or not. We won't hate on your monster of a truck!

 

[jonrjen]

I don't believe in burning bridges after I cross them. After all, I may need a tow some day when this big heavy sucker sinks in the mud....LOL!!!

 

[Hunter73]

That's a nice looking tuck too!

 

[Kc311]

Now if you traded in for a smart car or Prius... We'd have a few words!

i see your not messin around either and went with the big boy diesel, the 6.7L powerstroke
i think they are like 807 ftlbs of torque and 400 hp with 30 psi of boost
after about 2 weeks you wont miss the ecoboost at all.

Looks as though a valuable piece of equipment between the seat and center console is missing...
Best of luck...

 

[Stage3Motorsports]

That is a great looking truck.

Man you could tow the house with that bad boy. Congrats on the new truck.

Right after the photos were taken the holster was installed. Just a little forward and lower than in the EcoBoost, seem to have alittle more room in the 350.

Trust me, every time I have to park somewhere I will be missing the F150. Not to mention when I stop to fuel and pay .25 to .85 more a gallon for diesel over unleaded.

You maybe correct, the wife is eyeing a 5th wheel that is 40' long with 5 slide outs.

 

[SPPD]

Great choice! That truck is just beautiful!

Thanks for all of your contributions here as well!

Impressive!!! Great looking truck!!

 

[DENMtnMan]

Looks great. At least you kept the blue oval and the turbo engine. All the best.

 

[lilcrazyone]

Damnnn, I really need to get the process moving faster along to get mine. Nice truck man!!

Not trying to barge in on your parade, but if all works out this is hat I'm getting.

thats what i was going to say i bet you will the size of the eco boost

 

[Nasty Wendy]

Good luck with the new truck. I knew you would get rid of your truck as soon as your son got rid of his. Why? Because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Do stop by and tell us how you like it.

i guess you already know going into this that what was 20 mpg is now like 13 mpg or 15 on a good day !
we have one at work and it sure does like the fuel.
