When I first got on these forums I was looking for information. I did a lot of research and decided to buy the 5.0. I am actually amazed when I would post concerns about the ecoboost how defensive some people would get. It really doesn't add up. I am really curious about how old people are and what they do for a living...and how many live with their parents, are in college or high school and how many have jobs.
Fair enough? I'll start: I am 53, graduated from College in 4 years. I was in the Marine Corps, am a pilot and own a construction business and rental properties. I am divorced and because of my business, I know more about the legal system than most. The legal system is like a box of chocolates...I can fix most things. Yesterday I repaired a solar tube, a thermostat, outdoor lighting system...my favorite task in probably installing doors, but I like electrical and plumbing too.

Alright, here goes.
I'm 20, in my 3rd year of college studying Mechanical Engineering with hopes of going into Automotive Engineering. Yes, I do still live with my parents and probably will until I graduate and have the income to move out. My current job is being a lifeguard year-round, it pays the bills and keeps me tan lol.

I'm 17 and I am in 10th grade I detail cars during the summer I don't have a actual job and I have a twin brother ( he's on the other forum and so am I ) and I want to work for ford one day ( for the experience and discounts ) here's about my truck. I really liked the 5.4 and the King Ranch edition my dad bought his 5.4 in 2005 with 50,000 miles. He's never had any problems with it. Now it has 217,000 miles on it. Only oil changes tires ( and normal services ) all done himself so it is a really dependable motor. So that's why I got the 5.4 a used car dealership near my house had a black King Ranch and I was looking for a nice 5.4 SuperCrew. I looked at it and that's how I found my truck.
