The Eco-boost from Ford is a dual turbo charged motor. I think I'll wait until my Toy wears out. 07 gets 12mpg pulling ranger.

FYI TO ALL. The Ecoboost IS NOT a first year production model. 1st year in a truck yes but it's not an infant. Many people are misinformed on this and all the other manufacturers try their hardest to push this false info just to make a sale to those who will bite.
PS I've towed over 5,000 with my ecoboost twice now for 480 miles and have averaged 15.7 (hand calculated)mpg. AND it NEVER downshifted on the hills I had to navigate....didn't even flinch while maintaining 60mph. Cruising MPG 22 mpg. SCHWING

All I hear is how the Tundras are getting bad gas milage. I have a 2011 with 3000 miles on it and it is getting 16.5 towing my Ranger Z-21. This is hand calulated and I stay right at 65 -70 mph. Pleanty of power and I love it. I still have my 2005 Dodge diesel and it pulls almost as good as the Dodge with almost no difference.

I'm curios as to where you got the leveling kit and what size tires you went to? The kit is from Low Range Offroad (3/1) and the tires are 305/65/18.

I am not one to spend that kind of time and money for aethetics only so I do not necessarily agree with it. What happens when you load your bed with 2000 lbs or even 1000? A lot of the ones that I see that are "levelled" actual look low in the rear to me.
I'm curious why so many people are so quick to tell others how they should spend their money and what they don't agree with it? I'm quite sure you do PLENTY I don't agree with just by your attitude towards another man's free will but unlike you, I wouldn't bother telling you about it because it's your business and not mine. OP, great looking Toyota man. I was hung between a Toyota and a Dodge but I broke down and went with the Dodge just because I was able to find the exact options I wanted really close to home. Pretty sure I'd have been thrilled with either of them as they both make impressive power for stock trucks.

Just funny... you could start a ecoboost thread and I'll go in there and FYI all about my truck's HP, V8, 4wd, towing capacity, crew max size, etc.

But kind of like you, everything lined up at the right time, test drove it a few times and loved it. All options were what I wanted..engine, cab, price, color, etc.
