5.0 has great power and fuel mileage

[bearskinner]

I toyed with the ecoboost engine, but no local ford dealer had a package I liked, so I went with the 5.0 and have no regrets. I purchased a 2011 4X4 Super crew King Ranch with the center console. I fell in love with the package, It has everything I wanted and WWWAAAYYY more. Since the dealer had it on the lot, I was able to get an awesome deal at the end of the month. Driving empty down the fwy, I get 21-22 mpg cruising 70-75, and its not broken in yet, only 6,800 miles.

[Raptor05121]

Very nice! I'm hearing similar reports. The average for that engine seems to be 17/20, with EcoBoost barely pulling off a two point lead of 19/23. I'd prefer the EB though, that flat torque line looks sexy.

[dixie_boysles]

I want the new 5.0 with lariat package sooo bad

[bearskinner]

I found a heck of a deal on a 4x4 king ranch super crew with a 5.0. I started looking for an Eco boost, but they drive very similar, and the only trailer I tow weight 4k, so no issues there. Because the dealer had the truck on the lot, and it was near the end of the month, I saved well over 10k over ordering the same truck. It has more than I was looking for, but it still cost way less than if I could have found the XLT eco boost I was looking for. Theres a much larger selection now, but in April, it was the best I could find.

I like my 2011 fx4 with the 5.0 and the mpgs it gets. The only bad thing is the gas prices that we pay here in Alaska.

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah, if I had $44,000 laying around, I would get my dream F150 with the 5.0L.

[Akula683]

Really nice truck! I would take the V8 all day long over a suped up 6.

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah, it's the same here, the Ecoboost has more HP and torque, but I'm a V8 guy and would get the 5.0L.

I love the V8 mentality these days.

[speeddemon86]

I love the V8 mentality these days.

Lol I love v8's too but I love power even more

[Jersey_Joe]

Haha. Agreed!!

[RhinoZ24]

I love the V8 mentality these days.
Alex, you're just jealous of the 2 extra cylinders lol. Admit it, V8's are just plain sexier in every aspect haha.

[Jersey_Joe]

Ryno. I'm sure the professor has something up his sleave. He has a 6 cyl a hell of alot of knowledge and doesn't talk smack. Know what that means? He can back up his shhhhh. Prolly got a sleeper in his barn. Lol.

[RhinoZ24]

I know he can, I'm just kidding lol. His 4.2 would probably smoke my 4.6 any day haha. I'm just giving him a hard time for his love of V6's haha. I'm just a V8 guy is all.

[speeddemon86]

Who has the sleeper 4.2? I want to know more lol

[Jersey_Joe]

Oh me to fer sure. And mike. I don't think he has a sleeper. But anybody on this site does. He does. He could make the fastest whatever... Lol. Not sayin. Just sayin ya know. Lol

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah, I wouldn't piss him off because he's too knowledgeable and he's a nice guy anyways.

[BFEB]

You mean my debadged and tuned EB wasn't a sleeper? Stupid intake and BOV lol

[RhinoZ24]

Damn turbo spool up lol.

[BFEB]

I don't even think you can hide that lol

[RhinoZ24]

Nope never.

[BFEB]

I guess it'd be subtle as long as you take it easy.

[RhinoZ24]

Still a whistle lol.

[BFEB]

Nah keep the foot light and stay outta the boost

[RhinoZ24]

Oh yeah, how often were you able to resist that? Lol

[BFEB]

I'm old so occasionally lol

[RhinoZ24]

You're not that old yet lol.

[BFEB]

[RhinoZ24]

[BFEB]

Older than dirt lol

[RhinoZ24]

Older than time lol

[BFEB]

Man that's old lol

[RhinoZ24]

You know it lol

[BFEB]

Most 5.0 owners I talk to have told me that their mileage is right at what my EB does so I'm hoping my new one will be true to that.

[RhinoZ24]

Don't worry, it'll be fine haha. Now you'll have a V8 sound to go with it lol

[BFEB]

True. The 5.0 does sound great

[RhinoZ24]

Especially once you get an exhaust system :D

[BFEB]

Eventually lol

[RhinoZ24]

No right now, order it now, get it put on by the end of the week lol jk.

[BFEB]

U order it and have it shipped here lol

[RhinoZ24]

Alright, send me the money and I'll get you your exhaust lmao.

[BFEB]

Seems like more steps than are necessary.

[RhinoZ24]

Exactly, it's a DIY job lol.

[BFEB]

Sure is.

[RhinoZ24]

Good, go do it lmao jk.

[BFEB]

Lol I don't even have possession of the truck yet lol

[RhinoZ24]

[BFEB]

[Jersey_Joe]

I'm sure u can just go for a ride and enjoy that new 5.0 shell get over it. They always do.

[RhinoZ24]

Candy flowers and a nice dinner, she'll forget all about it. Then maybe you won't have to sleep on the couch anymore lol jk.

[BFEB]

Actually we're pretty non traditional. We have separate rooms cause I snore like a lumberjack and she's a wicked bed hog that beats me while I'm snoring. Not saying we don't end up in the same bed now and again

3401

Case in point

But I kinda like sleeping alone and she does too so it works for us.

[RhinoZ24]

Lmao case in point haha. And I see lol, as long as it works.

[BFEB]

I'm not complaining lol

[RhinoZ24]

[RhinoZ24]

[BFEB]

Maybe if I drive 45 on a completely flat road lol

[RhinoZ24]

Anythings possible lol

[BFEB]

With enough patience lol

[RhinoZ24]

Sometimes the required amount just isn't there lol.

[BFEB]

Very true

[RhinoZ24]

Especially with all that power under your control.

[BFEB]

Dang heavy right foot

[RhinoZ24]

Foot reduction surgery? Lmao

Flowmaster

[RhinoZ24]

^X2 lol

[BFEB]

It sounded good, but so did a lot of others I liked the Borla, but it was over a G

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah, I liked the Banks sound a lot, but same story, the name will cost you lol.

[BFEB]

I didn't check that one out. They're just so known for diesel applications I was unsure if their gasser stuff was as good.

[RhinoZ24]

It is, but it's expensive lol.

[Jersey_Joe]

I didn't check that one out. They're just so known for diesel applications I was unsure if their gasser stuff was as good.

Please listen to me. My brother from a Irish mother! Flowmaster. Get the stainless. U get what u pay for. U know this home slice. Lol. You'll b very happy with the sound. I wouldn't trust anything else

[RhinoZ24]

My Aluminized steel one is starting to rust on the drivers side right where the tip connects to the pipe. Gunna try and get rid of it, but good thing it has a 3 year warranty lol, I'll upgrade to the stainless if that happens.
