Is there a price premium on the EcoBoost? I'm intrigued by that motor.

MSRP wise, it is a $1750 add, or $1450 to dealer invoice.

It is a torque monster.

I'm not sure I could pay that much for a truck without 4 wheel drive, but that's still a nice truck.

I didn't pay that much.

Before I moved down here, I would have said the same thing, but I'll probably never need it here.

I had a KR with 4wd. I drove the truck for almost 3 years and engaged the 4wd exactly once and that was just to see if it worked.

Just an PSA for ya:

Ford recalls 281,000 F-150 trucks in U.S.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Automotive News | February 3, 2011 - 10:01 am EST


DETROIT (Reuters) -- Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 281,000 F-150 pickup trucks in the United States because of a potential problem with the door handles not working properly, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported today.

Model years 2009 and 2010 F-150 trucks produced from January 2008 to November 2009 are being recalled because in the event of a crash, "the door handle spring can fail causing the door latch to open," NHTSA said in a filing.

As of Jan. 21, there had been no reported accidents or injuries related to this issue, Ford told NHTSA.

Ford said that customers will initially be asked to bring their F-150s to dealerships if any door handle is loose or fails to return to a stowed position.

Later, once replacement parts are available, owners will be asked to bring in their trucks for inspection at Ford or Lincoln dealerships, the filing said.
