OPs Lariat is probably 54+ even with a short bed.

Any comparison to the original 3.5 ecoboost?
Yeah this one was 57k sticker and I got then down to 51k which is 2k below invoice. I though it was a pretty good deal for a '17. They would come off the '16 trucks a lot more but I really wanted this new powertrain.

I've only driven a few gen1 ecoboosts but I feel like this 10spd will really make the ecoboost shine. It makes peak torque at 3500rpm where the gen1 made it at 2500rpm. I think it might be easier to stay out of boost when you want to.

Also just discovered sport mode today which totally transforms this truck. But will have a huge effect on mpg.
