My New Ride
Ford marketing and incentives got the best of me.
I traded in my 2011 XTR (Eco) Supercrew and picked up a gorgeous 2012 Lariat (5.0L V8) Supercrew.
Here she is ~ Back In Black
I've only owned her a week so no mods yet although I do have a few things in mind. First touch will likely be a Line-X bed liner.

Thanks!
I did not really have any issues with my Eco and have no strong views against it.
Mileage was only a hair better than V8 owners were getting under identical driving conditions.
In researching for my new purchase, I discovered a much larger number of dissatisfied Eco owners than I expected and realized that twin turbos and intercoolers could lead to costly repairs.
I do not have any other "toys" to haul so towing payload is not a huge concern for us.
All in all, I like the 5.0L much more. This baby sounds like a truck.
