Well after a while of lurking around I decided to go ahead and take the plunge. Just drove home my '11 Screw Platinum EB. White platinum, nav, sunroof, max trailer, and all the rest of the goodies. I can't believe how quiet and smooth the eco boost motor is. Traded my 07 escalade EXT and don't regret it a bit. I was averaging 8.9 mpg and spending $700-800 per month in gas. Also had a Mark LT in the past and the platinum is definitely a step up. If I could change one thing I wish Ford offered HID headlights. With a list price approaching $55K they should be standard. Would like to say thanks to all the people in this forum. I got a lot of good info here including finding out about the $750 coupon. Really appreciate the help.

 

You will love it. Got the same truck two weeks ago minus the max tow package as I wanted power folding mirrors and didn't need it.

 

congrats, sounds like a great truck!

 

You're gonna like it, especially if you were averaging under 10MPG.
