At least you will be getting the better engine this time.

The 3.5TT EB is way better than the 5.0. I am not saying the 5.0 is bad, because it is not, but the 3.5 is truly impressive.

Getting the 5.0 was my biggest regret after I bought this truck. The 5.0 isn't bad at all, but after driving the 3.5 almost daily, it is just so much better. Future resale value will show it too, the 5.0 isn't going to be worth nearly what the 3.5 will be.

Nobody will trade us an Ecoboost FX2, so I just ordered one.

And if we work out a trade in the near future, I'll just cancel it, or change it to stock.

Yes Gene we know. The pinnacle of world development was 1973.
Nothing since has been worth a damn. Telephones should have rotary dials, integrated circuits are not that a big improvement over transistors, mp3 players cannot compare to the LP record, the internet is nothing compared to the miracle of Ham radio and this newflangled stuff called plastic will never replace good old Bakelite.

Not to mention, the Pirelli factory 20" tires are only $170 each to replace.
