Not only on paper but to the rear wheels too, 365hp @5000 rpm and 420 tq@2500 rpm will blow the doors off the 5.0 Litre.

actually the ecoboost only gets about 315hp to the rear wheels...only 5 more than the 5.0

the ecoboost has about 40 more ft/lbs of torque

if i were going to buy a truck and leave it stock, i would go with the ecoboost....but i like to void warranties :mrgreen:

I know but the 420 ft/lb of torque at 2500 rpm is where it gets the 5.0 and gets it bad.
