My Dodge broke down for the last and final time over Labor Day weekend, and I decided that I was not going to put any more money into it. I sold it with a bad ECM for $11k 3 weeks later. My g/f's neighbor has a great connection at a local Ford dealer so I called them and am now the proud owner of a '11 F150 with the EcoBoost motor. I know, I know..."How could you go from a Cummins 3/4 ton to a 1/2 ton gasser?" I did not need the big diesel anymore as I don't tow and use the truck as a daily driver. It was costing me $130 per week for fuel and the repairs were getting very costly. The new truck, although I have a payment again, costs $75 to fill and has a warranty. And believe it or not gets better mpg than my Dodge did which is a big plus.

Anyhoo its stock for now, getting the windows tinted today and adding an Access tonneau cover. Keeping it stock performance wise but will add HIDs and some LED lights soon.

Here is a pic the day I got it.

Pretty nice truck man!

(insert Arnold Swartzeneger / Terminator voce) You'll be back....

Looks good, I enjoy mine! I think you will enjoy and stick with ford!

Doesn't the EcoBoost have turbos? I test drove one and it hauled @$$! Nice buy.

Looking nice man!one of my friend tell me about this and i see is really looking nice..Thanks for sharing this....i like it.

So.....Hows the power? Gonna build it like the UA Ford?

The power is awesome, and with the 6 speed transmission at WOT the truck gets up to speed effortlessly. It does have twin turbos, and if I have the windows open you can hear them, otherwise the truck is very quiet. What a huuuuuugggggeeee difference coming from the Cummins that had a 5" exhaust.

Ram...this one is staying stock! Learned my lesson with the Dodge.


Thanks for all the kind words!
