2016 vs 17 f150
I am about to buy a new f150. I am debating a left over 16 vs a new 17. I like the new engine tune and 10 speed auto but I can pick up the 16 for about 4k less.. that is until they update incentives. Is the added hp and torque with the 10 speed worth it?
What engine and gear combo do you think is best?

I would hold out for the 17. That being said, don't discount the 2.7 ecoboost too. I"ve got one and it does really well on fuel and tows my boat easily. I'm holding out for a 17 as the incentives will be much better in about 60 days. But, if I was after the 3.5 eco, I'd get a 17.

I'd get the 5.0 as i really can't stand the eco boost.
I keep my trucks for a while so when the eco boost fails it's gonna cost

Everyone has their opinion on which motor to get. Personally I like the naturally aspirated V8 as I normally keep a truck until I wear it out but each to his/her own. I have the V8 with 3.55 gears 2wd and it is really strong. I wanted 3.73 gears but could only get that in a 4wd and I don't need a 4wd. I wanted it because for whatever reason Ford puts little tires on the trucks. I will be going up in tire size to fill the fender wells better thus making the truck look better. But at least I got the 3.55's so when I do go up on tire size, it won't kill the gas mileage and towing.
Sometimes I need my ATV when in my boat and sometimes I need my boat while riding my ATV.
