Hybridhunter, thanks for the real world review. Dodgefanboy, his assessment is neither right or wrong and will probably mirror what some will think when trading an ecoboost for the diesel f150.

Stop feeding the troll. I own one (1/2 ton diesel pick up) and as far as being a Dodgefanboy, yep guilty as charged. I work for FCA and have owned many Ford vehicles in the past. Never owned a single one that wasn't in the service department more then they were in my garage! I started buying Chrysler products long before I went to work for them. In fact I turned down a job at Ford for a job at Chrysler.

I would buy an Honda, Toyota or even a Nissan vehicle before ever buying a Ford again.

One question, how can someone be neither right or wrong? What I posted are real world facts from an owner of the actual vehicle being discussed (not brand but model), not a commercial van. If you doubt what I have posted go check out the Ecodiesel sites and see what other owners are saying. Has the Ecodiesel had issues, yep just like all new models do. My truck has had one problem that was fixed by the dealer and thanks to Green Diesel Engineering's tune I have not had the issue return. The truck now has 58K on her and I look forward to many many more.

BTW there is a member here that owns a Ecodiesel that he uses to deliver RV's, Boats and other trailers. He had 380K+/- miles on his truck before he blew a head gasket. He decided to swap out the engine over just having the heads done.
