New dude on the block from ABQ
Just picked up a 2012 FX4 Ecoboost last week. Needed to upgrade vehicles as towing in in our future. Got rid of a moderately modded Subaru FXT for the FX4. I look at is as upgrading from one turbo to two!

So far gas mileage is spot on with the EPA estimates. Much better than the last truck I owned. So far I am loving it...quietest vehicle I have ever owed.

Make sure you keep the stock air filter, K&N and others will kill your turbo wheels.

You've got to love homes in the desert Southwest -- not a single blade of grass to mow or fertilize.....
