Nick,i agree very responsive peppy engine and i like you had the 3.5L Eco Boost before.This 2.7L Eco Boost is very responsive and under rated IMO.I drove a similar 5.0 truck and thought the 2.7L ran better IMO.I took the 2.7L truck for a ride and was both suprised and impressed.I figure this truck is at least 600 pounds lighter then the similar 2013 F-150 i had.Here's a picture i really like it so far getting 20 mpg in the 850 miles since i've had it.

Them are the UGLIEST wheels since Volkswagen........................

That's a very sharp looking truck ! Very Happy

I like the x-cab sb version the best of all the 2015 F-150 body configurations.
The proportions just look so much better.
Same with the 2010-2014.

Hell if it needs all that to tow a GT500 screw buying the truck.

X2,on the X-Cab 2015 F-150's i think they look more sporty looking then the Crew Cabs.
