I got to compare the EB and the 5.0 yesterday, on test drives. The EB was impressive to me from the standpoint that it's a small V6 putting out that power, but it did not feel anymore powerful than the 5.0. In fact, it had one very annoying feature to me. When you punched it to pass, you had to wait for it's response. It would take off slowly and then kick in. I liked the instant resonse from the 5.0 much better. The soulnd of the V6 did not bother me as much as I expected. The drives settled it for me, I liked the 5.0 much better. I can even change the plugs on it.
The XLTs with the special package is really a nice truck. Very quiet. I really like the interior and the put insulation back under the hood. Still hate the exterior, though.

I thought with these new motors ford went with infinite life spark plugs.....two per cylinder and they're permantly fixed in the head..one quits working the other starts..but maybe that's only for the 6.2...
