Well I am not going to say I just ordered the best big 3 truck, but I ordered the best one for my personel needs (I Think). Last week I ordered an Echoboost F-150 Extended cab with an 8' Bed, 2wd. I do not tow as much as I used to, and Mostly use my Trucks for Transporting Bulky but not heavy loads for work, and the 4 or 5 times a year I tow my car trailer to the track.
My 97 Dodge has been a good truck that I have neglected the Maint on for the last 5 or 6 years, and now just doesn't justify the 2 to 3 grand of maint work it really needs.
The Rams eliminated themselves for me with the new Ext Cab design with the forward opening doors.
I just can't bring myself to buy a new Chevy, and the GMC's were about $5000.00 more than the Ford, get worse MPG, and I would have to get things like a leather interior, push Carpeting ect.... That I did not want or need.
I hope it is better than my last new F-150, the 1987 300 I-6 that was the worst new vehical I ever owned until it luckly had the ignition switch burn it to the ground 6 months after I bought it.

i have heard ford recommends no towing above 55mph with the ecoboost, i have heard of a few trans failures with guys towing including the one i was supposed to put a 5th wheel hitch into today... just a fyi
