Exactly the reason that I bought the old proven low end torque last 5.4 in 2010 instead of the new 3.5 Ecoboost in a 2011. There's no replacement for displacement. My turbo Saab was fidgety fast while the turbo seals lasted, but they didn't. I think Ford got the turbo and Ecoboost carbon issue solved with the 3rd generation engine. I don't think they will be offering V8 F150's in the future.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Under the impression the 2017 model year was change 3 , I might be wrong.

I have the 2011 ecoboost with 100k+ miles with no problems. 18mpg running empty and 13mpg pulling. I would get a second opinion.
