That's cute. Plus it only comes in a half ton (even cuter).
Compare the EcoBoost emission equipment to your cummins under the hood (cute) and then compare the EcoBoost exhaust to your cummins exhaust (even cuter).
That’s ALL cute. I’ll just run my pre-emissions-nightmare truck that makes more HP and torque than a new one and costs much less to maintain.
It was pretty expensive to build it this way but still less than a new one.
The Eco-Boost is fine for a half-ton that can’t carry my camper or tow my trailer - especially both at same time.
Don’t trade off your old trucks. Just go through them and put everything right.
Some people think I’m crazy to have twice the supposed Blue Book value into my older model. Others understand why I did that.
