Was it bogging bad when you step into it at higher RPM's? That's what my brother-in-laws brand new one was doing and it was the cat. The dealership didn't even have one, they had to order it.

I don't race mine much, its very capable, but I like the mpg aspect of the Ecoboost more.
Here's a shot of my trip odometer from this weekend. I reset it when we left our house in Lake Charles La. and drove to Natchitoches La., drove around Natch friday afternoon and night, then got up Saturday morning and drove to Springhill La. to pick up a cowl hood for my 99' Hoe. Snapped the shot about 800' from the Arkansas line.

How's yours setup? Mine is a 4x4 XLT with 3.55 gears. The trip photo on my above post was mostly between 60-65 mph. I had to go through alot of small towns and was warned that there were speed traps everywhere. The speed limit was 55 most of the way.

A couple months ago we took it up to Fort Worth Tx to pick up the Hoe in my avatar. Plenty of interstate 75-80 mph driving and plenty of hills. I was driving on the way there and my wife was driving on the way back. We averaged 19.3mpg for the entire trip.

I took mine back to Colorado again this weekend and it made 19 driving 85mph with two dirt bikes and all our camping **** in the back. Wind wasn't really in my favor either way. Last time it made 21 with just my quad.
