Another 5.4 to EcoBoost convert
Is it a good or bad thing that my truck now is faster than my car 
but the Mustang definitely sounds faster

I suspect even my truck is faster than my Mustang, though the Mustang is a 4 speed with a 289, Crane Fireball cam, Holley 600 double pumper and 3.50 gears.

Nice truck! I have the silver as well. The woodgrain has really grown on me. I to have the ecoboost. I have to say I was skeptical at first, but it is really growing on me everytime I drive it.

I am converting also
After reading the thread about the navigation option possibly not being available through 2012 I went ahead and pulled the trigger. It had 142 miles on it on delivery and I got 18.3 MPG on my 100 mile trip home varying my speed every 5-10 miles. (55-75) I noticed that the mileage appears to drop off pretty good @ 75 mph.
My truck is 4x4 with the 3.73 locker

What I have run into is that my dealer is claiming that Ford is short on Sony nav systems, and they cant guarrantee Ford will build it with Nav. They know I wont take the truck without it. I am wondering if anyone has every heard of Ford shipping a customer ordered truck without an option ordered? That doesnt quite make sense to me.
I read in a earlier post that Ford's is NOT taking anymore Lariat orders. The fullfillment for 2011 is set. You'd have to order a 2012. The NAV is a no-go also and they won't take the order.

"I just ordered a Lariat Crew 4x4 and I was informed that Navigation is sold right out for the year and as well 20" chrome clad rims are sold out for the year and are not available I waited 3 weeks to find that out!! Now I wait longer for my truck that is going to be 2000 less to buy at least, custom rims here I come!! As well if you order a platinum it will not come with Nav in it but just the Sony stereo with the subwoofer and a 1980 (Canadian) credit. "
"Supposedly the chip maker in Japan will be back and running around Sept or Oct. This is why the delay of Navigation"

I had to order my Lariat EB cause nobody had a max tow scab on the whole East Coast! I wanted Nav but I'll have to use my droid, no biggie, I got the truck I wanted and I pick it up Saturday!!!!!
BTW, nice truck!

I am also trading out of my 2009 Lariat SC. I was in for service with my wifes edge and drove the new Ecoboost. I amazed. In order for me to really make the jump, I had to get a loaded truck. After searching all of New England, I was forced to order one. i ordered a 2011 Larait Super Crew with alloy 20's, Eco Boost, and all the other options.
