Need some honest opinions...

Thinking of adding an Ecoboost badge to the tailgate to balance out the right-hand side (it bugs me that there's nothing on the right). Does that seem pretentious? I don't want it to seem like I'm gloating. Thoughts? Perhaps a 4x4 badge instead, like the old ones from the Explorer Sport-Trac?

And Jim, please no responses like "why would you want anyone to know you have one?"

Isn't the 5.0 actually be a little bit more eco friendly than the ecoboost since we can burn corn fuel and they can't?

Strange morning. IPhone went black then after a couple of minutes, came to life again. Tried to check in here and had to reset password. I'm scared to go to the bathroom!

Yes but aren't the owners a bit off-balanced?

Ha! You have a point. Based on my city mpg, there's not much "eco" about it. Less eco, more boost

Coy, I like the look of those badges. I really like the black and silver ones from the Lincoln MKZ, but they are so small you can barely see them anyway.

I'd go badgeless IMO

I think one of my centric hub bearings is starting to go. When I turn right, the drivers side hums a bit. If I drive the drivers side on the road crown or uneven surface, I get that slight hum vibrating sensation. Not even 2 years old. Can't wait until I buy my car.

true



In other news it kinda looks like you're trying to copy my signature. Similar trucks colors and angles.
