Anyone with a 2.7L EB F150 regret not getting the 3.5?

Yeah i was honestly surprised. His truck seems a bit smoother as well. I REALLY wanted the 5.0, but platinums mostly came with 3.5s. Womp womp.
Looking forward to getting it and messing with the settings. Normal, sport and economy.
Will be better than my 04 that does 16.2 average.

What about with a tuner?
Looking at a couple options now and I loved my '14 Ram Laramie but thinking of F150s this time.
Any with my heavy foot but fair about of highway cruise my air ride (lowered at highway) averaged 18mpg, just a touch over my Hellcat Charger, both better than AMG ML63s SUV

I averaged 16 IIRC on a road trip in my Gen2 Raptor. But I was cruising at around 80mph. That did not help things at all.

What trim, color, etc?

Here's a picture:

It's a Lariat, 502A package, basically loaded to the hilt.

I have both and really to be honest unless you tow the 2.7 is more than sufficient.

Are you planning on buying it out in the end?

Don't know yet. I just picked it up today, and that's 3 years down the road. If I had to guess when I'm 35 payments from the end, I'd say I'm going to turn it in.

What are the monthly payments, and how much down? Be honest please.

$409/mo, $4900 down.

Bear in mind, the capitalized price was less than X-plan before the down payment.

EDIT: I should probably add that's for 10.5K miles per year. I'm expecting to incur a mileage penalty at the end. But the penalty is cheaper than the increase in payment for a higher mileage allowance, so I don't really care.

What did that sticker for? I didn’t want the 502. Went with the 501 and optioned from there.

Quite frankly, I don't need many of the options it has. But, I've never had a new car, ever, in my entire life. And give my personal circumstances, I thought it was time to do something for myself for once. Long story.

Nice truck.

All good. I hated life when mine was $47 sticker, at least my wife did. Lol
Love that color.
