I have the new 5.0 in a 2012 shortbox reg cab 4x4. It,s quite a bit lighter than all the other crewcab trucks and is getting about 13 mpg combined in the cold weather. I was getting high teens low 20s highwy in the summer.
I like the 5.0 but it is a little short on torque down low.The eco isn,t available in the short chassis or I would have considered it.
There is a lot of complexity with twin turbos but Ford seems to have made a big effort to develop the eco.
