Here is my new 2016 F-150 4x4 FX4 with a 2.7L EcoBoost V6. The aluminum body actually makes it pretty light for a 4x4 truck and it literally HAULS some major a**! I still need the windows tinted, but I'll run it pretty much stock. I just went with an XL with cloth seats and vinyl floors... because well it's a truck and it's supposed to get in the dirt. FX4 gives it skid plates, heavier shocks, hill decent, LT tires and a eLocking rear axle. It actually has start-stop in it for better economy and it works pretty well, but can be overridden for 4x4 use, towing, etc. I love this truck!

Been drooling over one since they came out. Ford finally made a truck than someone like me with a 60 mile a day commute can afford to have. Will get one next year when my current 4Runner is paid off and it rolls over 200k.

It has no problem hitting well over 20 MPG on the highway and even around town with the 2.7 EcoBoost and start/stop tech it does the best I have ever seen on fuel economy for a truck with a lot of power. I don't have that many miles on it yet, but I can tell you it's pretty easy on fuel for a full size pickup.

Nice touring! I want my next BMW to be a diesel. How's ownership been?

I love it! Drives like a champ, you wouldn't believe it is a touring. Xdrive makes you drive like on tracks in the winter. Although i had issues with the transmission but BMW sorted it out on warranty, was a known issue. Otherwise no defects whatsoever. Engine is a little on the rough side but well it is a diesel ;) should get better with the newer generations. I recommend to choose at least the HiFi system (not standard that i have unfortunately, it is a little weak, but that can be changed with some aftermarket speakers).

I would recommend to choose the model you like and drive both standard and Xdrive version. Some like the only rear power better, it is lighter, cheaper and of course less complicated and prone for defects but i just loved the way it drives! And i live near the alps ;)

In a little world of my own
This is my 2013 RX350. Nothing special, but reliable and comfortable. Expecting to give this to my girlfriend and then trade her 2011 Buick Regal Turbo T07 (Opel/Vauxhall Insignia for those on the other side of the pond) for something new for me later this year.
