Do I enjoy the sound of a V8 engine? Sure. Does the fact my 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150 sounds like a minivan at times feel odd? Yes. That being said, I long ago passed the point where the exhaust tone in the cabin was important to me, I'd rather enjoy quiet. And so I smile every time I drive my truck...
Fundamentally, there are groups of people who will never accept anything besides a V8 in a full size truck. To some, its about the sound. To others, its just the way it should be. This group will never understand or accept the concept of the smaller V6's or a 4 cylinder.
I'm just glad I had a choice to get what works well for me - a truck that an tow circles around my 2004 F150 with the 5.4 3V and that delivers 4.5 mpg better fuel mileage (31% better). I tolerate it not sounding like a V8, enjoy the performance, save money...
