					Thoughts on F-150's?
				
				
						
							
							
						
						
				
					
						
							I'm sitting at Ford right now waiting for my F-350 to get out of the shop and I'm staring at a $5000 bill. Thank god for warranties...it only cost me $190 out of pocket. My rental car was an F-150 and I kind of liked how it was a much smoother ride and it was easy to park. While here at Ford I was checking out the new F-150's with the Eco Boost motor. I guess they have a 11,300 lb. towing capacity! Does anybody have any experience with these? My truck is out of warranty in a couple of months so I might have to trade it in.

							Grads, I had a rental F-150 4x4 crew cab with ecoboost for entire summer of '11. Awesome vehicle and got 20mpg hwy unloaded at 75 mph. It did have the tallest gearing though, 3.21:1. I think a F-150 with shorter gearing would be super for towing a medium size Daytona in your area. If I was towing the same in 110* weather I would keep your F-350 with diesel.

							Personally I like the 6.5' bed vs the 5.5, most of the ones on the lots crew cab are 5.5'
