When is enough????

I made it mine with only mud flaps and proper floor Matt’s.
It’s a AWD Lariat Eco.
AWD, I actually needed that,
Lariat, got more toys than I needed, Like em all.
Ecoboost,
Look up the horse power and torque numbers of the old stock V-8’s of the 70’s and 80’s.
Then compare to the Ecoboost.
Small V-8 power on tap and 28 mpg :’P
That is why I chose the 2.0 Turbo.

I Chose my Lariat AWD Ecoboost for much the same reason. We have always been a "Ford Family", and this was my 1st new vehicle. i actually was able to get a vehicle the way i wanted it. i bought mine with every option almost. the only one i really said no to was the sunroof. i have had that in my last few vehicles, and i hardly used it. i get more use out of my power sliding rear window actually.

I find the 2.0 to be quite responsive honestly. Its no Shelby Mustang, but if you can objectively look at it for what it truly is then anyone should be pleasantly impressed with the performance of the ecoboosts. when you place it in "sport mode" it will hold its own fairly well. i may, or may not have found a desolate stretch of interstate at night, and i may or may not have placed it in sport mode just to see what it could do????

Sport mode, I can duplicate sport mode shift points by moving my right foot down more and increasing RPM’s
About the only thing I see sport mode do is quicker deceleration down shifts when I’m braking hard coming into a corner NASCAR style.
In normal mode I can go into and come out of a fast corner just as fast as sport mode.
