I used to feel the same way, then I bought the wife an escape with the 2.0 ecobeast. The engine in that is more powerful than the old 3.0 v-6 they used to use in the escapes and fusions. Not to mention we have gotten 29.5 mpg hiway in it. The best I ever got in the 11 fusion with the 3.0 was about 24 hiway.

I wish I could afford two new trucks. One would be a Raptor, the other, a Tremor. And I'd keep my Super Duty for fifth wheel duty.
Ahh, to have an unlimited income...

I found another screw that I like and its 1095 cheaper than the other and comes with an additional 500 rebate (for the 5.0) http://www.inventory.ford.com/servic...FW1EF0DFD16836
After x plan and rebates I can get this one for 40,040.
The other one is 41,476 after plan and rebates. They are both identically equipped other than the engine, they are even the same color.
I'm at a quandary now, do I get the eco beast and get the slightly better mileage, or get the 5.0 that has a lot more upgrade options available right now like intakes, cams, long tubes, and superchargers.

The ecobeast has quite a few upgrades as well that is available, with a livernois 93 tune, some exhaust work and intake it'll pretty much whoop a 5.0 with the same upgrades minus of course a supercharger.

Yeah, but there is still a lot more for the 5.0 than the ecobeast.

why spend more on engine related stuff (minus the supercharger) when the ecoboost will still be faster.. Look at it this way, less money and a whole lot of v8 ford and dodge and chevy guys that you just pissed off cause your v6 whopped em.

I talked to my salesman a little while ago and he has a fx4 screw with the 5.0 I'm going to test drive tomorrow and then I'll decide which I like better. Either way I'll probably pull the trigger on Saturday the last day of the month and have 2013 fx4 screw 145" wb with 402A, nav, sunroof, 20's in blue flame.
