These are trucks, they aren't meant to drag race. They are meant to go slow and not handle. Leave the racing to the sports cars.

LMAO - coming from the guy with the Vortech'd F150 smoking the tires in his signature... I'm hoping that's a dose of sarcasm.

thats the color wood grain you get with the ecoboost Lariat's.
and the Platinum ecoboost trucks get black wood grain. (looks nice)
I know this because i went to the ford even myself here in houston

also just FYI to everyone. while i was there i knoticed that all of the license plates are moved to the left just like in all of the photos.

Looks like he got a jump on the Silverado, but even so, that Chevy was getting pulled on hard. I can't wait to get a ride in an EB.

I seriously doubt the wood grain changes color from one engine to another. The wood grain in the light tan interior is very different from last year, but it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the truck is equipped with the EB engine.

Well all of the ecoboost lariats had it soo and the 5.0 had regular wood trim. The platinum ecoboost had the black wood trim. I doubt its an optional feature since all 3 lariat ecoboost had the same wood grain.
I will look at the photos I took at the place to see if I have any interior photos.

My 5.4 pulls on my buddies Silverado like that, so, I'm not that impressed.

I went to that show when it was here at the Texas Motor Speedway near Fort Worth. The Ecoboost had rather excellent pick up. but to the 6.2 it slightly lost. the dodge and chevy were slow as cold mollasses.
