[QUOTE="Ellison3, post: 1986020, member: 57565"] If I had the choice I’d go with the V-8. This turbo experience has been cool, but I am disappointed with the inherent flaws of the power train. My ‘04 Expedition is still on the road. It’s 5.4 V-8 has over 306k miles (the daughter drives it now, so not exactly sure). I did my best to maintain it. Unfortunately, she’s not that type of person. Hopefully, it’ll last her until she can get something on her own. Anyway, that’s the thing about the V-8’s… they are awesome. Don’t get me wrong; my EcoBoost has been fun. But, it’s got some dumb stuff about it that makes no sense. It’s like Ford had no idea there were turbo charged engines around that experienced these issues, and they just went with it. And in going with that idea took nothing about the consumer in consideration. Guess it was just all about them conforming to the new fuel mileage guidelines. Which I understand, but come on, Ford. Sorry about the rant… do the bigger motor!!! I hope my Expedition doesn’t see this post… SMH [/QUOTE]
