They need to lose the goof ball ECOBOOST badge and either delete it all to gether or come up with something different. I am so sick of everybody having to be so politically correct. Ecoboost, ecotek, eco this and that. I am sick of it! I understand part of it is to be politically correct and the other part is to try to educate somebody that they can have power and good mileage at the same time but are people really that stupid in this segment? I know most of us are passionate and plugged in but it blows me away somebody could not have some basic understanding of what a twin turbo 6 is all about. I am no engineer or mechanic but geez.. Names like Cobra Jet, Mach, Cobra, Boss, GT, will live forever and be recognized. Fords marketing just dropped the ball here imo.
Why was the twin force name canned anyway?????????

Marketing should have known "EB" would not have fit well with truck guys. And I thought Ford knew the truck mkt? I think they were vetoed by some ivory tower big shot that had his own ideas.

OK some obvious things. (I have a better chance of Brooklyn Decker making my breakfast tomorow morning than you guys have of getting a full manual tranny)
I go to build a new 2011 on the Ford.ca site, and I find out I can't get Trailer TOW mirrors on a FX4 SCrew Lux w/Max TOW pkg. For the heck of it I build a Lariat SCrew with the 6.2L and I can't get the T TOW mirrors (again with the max TOW pkg) unless I get the old man chrome pkg?
OK anyone catching a trend?
No Trailer TOW mirrors with the max TOW pkg.
No Trailer TOW mirrors with the max TOW pkg.
No Trailer TOW mirrors with the max TOW pkg.
cough cough... Does someone at ol' Ford need to be fired?
Never mind previous point about a large tank with the Ford self described "TOWing engine".
Ford do the right thing (now after the fact) and announce the Job 2 2011 F150 will fix some of these obvious errors.

Those lockers are quite useful. I had to pull a buddy out of the mud this past weekend. My truck is basically stock...with highway tread...the lockers REALLY helped me not get stuck myself...and of course get my buddy's CHEVY (lifted with much better tires) out 
As for the 6.2L in the FX4, that would be awesome, also, the ability to lock in 2wd, as others have said.
