i really like them!! im tired of my 13mpg combined. i bet tune, basic bolt ons, exhaust, stuff like that will really make them very quick. and vicious, my 5.3 dynoed at 447 at the crank when i had it built, but thats another story.

I was checking these out on Ford's site yesturday. It is impressive. The mileage isn't what I'd hope though. I guess it just takes a certain amount of BTU's to push a full size truck down the highway and low 20's is about the best we are going to see...ever.

The Ecoboost is a $4600 engine option over the 3.7 V6 but the 5.0 is only $1000 option.

420lbs tq at 2500 rpm is impressive for a v6 gas burner.

They do have great engine options for 2011... And even the V6 trucks get the 6spd auto option. The 6.2 Raptor is very unimpressive given all the hype and the almost $54K pricetag... But that is a very heavy beast.
