First test of the 2012 FX4

Drove my 2012 FX4 SCREW through the big nor'easter from VT to MA. First time I took the ecoboost through some heavy snow. It performed well and I was worried that I made the wrong choice between the Eco and the 5.0. I must say that the Eco did well and so far so good. Just hope it lasts for the next 7 years....

Good to hear...can't go wrong with either engine but lots of low end torque on the Eco for sure. Did you have the stock tires on too?

We are pretty icy and cold here in NW Colorado the last couple weeks. Only thing I've noticed about ice in EB, is being careful accelerating. That otherwise awesome low end torque can work against you on ice
