    I really want to know how you like that V6 Ecoboost.
    I'm still having a hard time letting go of my full-sized, but think the SO and I have decided it is the best option for us right now. We don't really NEED a full-sized. We can borrow a truck for the occasional long distance tow. I'm just worried we are going to lose a lot of power we may use more than we think we do.
    The decision has come down to an F150 or the Tacoma. The Tacoma is winning, but the 150 is still getting some small consideration.

    My FIL has three F-250 diesels and a 2012 3.5L Eco SuperCrew. If they are towing 7k or less, the usually grab the 150 over the 250s. For more than that, they'll grab the 250. Their 2012 F-150 was rated at 14/19 MPG and the new one is rated at 17/23. For the 500 miles he has on it, he's getting right at 21 MPG. The 2012 never sniffed anything above 19, even straight highway. I will say the 2015 is a rocketship. He's got 3.55's and it's FAST. You can hit 80 in a blink of an eye. Stupid fast for a full size truck. He liked the 2012 EcoBoost enough to not even consider the 5.0 in their new truck.

    I'm in the same boat. I don't need a full-size and would prefer a Tacoma sized truck (especially with a manual trans) but if the Tacoma is slower, worse MPG, less optioned, and just as expensive, I'll be in an F-150.
