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?"

The license plat on the front is not balanced why worry about the tailgate.

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.

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