I have to admit, I want to test drive one at least before I buy my next truck. I've already test driven one of the 2011 5.0 CC F150's.
They are having an Eco-boost test drive pre-release at a local dealership this weekend that I'm going to try and make it to.

I can't say that I would honestly buy one, I know I would sure miss the sound of a V8 below me, but its an interesting design non the less. I am disappointed however in the MPG ratings if what I heard on a recent Ford commercial is correct. I've heard a # of 22 MPG highway, I was expecting better #'s given all the Ford hype about 20% better fuel economy.
