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.

 

Nice truck. How do you like the 5.0 compared to the EB?

 

Yeah, my thoughts too. Why the change?

 

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.

Nice ride, congrats, i think i may have to retire my 07, but i will opt for a 13 now that Ford has opened up availability of 6.2 across more trim levels.

 

Nice truck and Welcome to the site Neighbour.

 

Sweet truck!

The incentives are good right now on the Lariats. My dealer is selling the for $3k mute than I paid for my XLT. If only I had waited a couple months.

 

Sweet ride!! I'm actually thinking about trading in my 2011 Eco for a Superduty diesel. If you don't mind me asking i was wondering what kind of hit you took trading in the 2011???

 

No worries, Kevin.

They gave me $29,400 Cdn, which was actually higher than I expected.

 

Congrats on the new ride....looks great!
