I bought a 2011 FX4 Supercrew on black friday last year. I absolutely love it! The whistle from those turbos is WAY too addicting. I have pulled my 20 ft Larson bowrider (ski boat) and just finished a long day of hauling hay (120 square bales at a time) in 100+ degree heat. It pulls better than any other 1/2 ton truck I have owned by far.

Good looking truck. I wouldn't run a tune by anyone but Livernois Motorsports in an EcoBoost motor.
Their tunes are miles ahead of anyone else on that motor/tranny combo. My SHO was an absolute monster when they got done with it.

I would have done the Livernois Motorsports tune but I wasn't going to pay $600 for it when the 5 Star does a good job with the SCT for $400.
I'll probably do a nice catless y-pipe when I get to my buddy's shop. I'll also be doing back to back dynos for real results.
The truck stickered at $45K and I paid $36K for it from Gullo Ford in Conroe.
Its the FX2 with the following:
3.55 gear with electronic locker
towing package
lux package
appearance package
6 disc sync radio
locking tailgate with back up camera stuff
eco boost
Me too my friend, me too!!! LoL

Update:
She now has 2500 trouble free miles and I have a SCT on her. The SCT canned tunes are pretty good I can't complain about them. I also have the 5 star tunes which ROCK. I can't wait to get the new 93 tune and I'll probably have them do a silly 110 tune as well.
New intake should be in next week, not really sure if it'll do anything but I'll be back at the track for some updates.
Three stock runs, full weight with a 215lb driver in 100 degree Houston weather at Royal Purple Speedway.
As you can see I was still dialing in the 60' times. If I cut a 2.1 like I did the next three I bet she would have done close to 15s flat stock, but I wanted to get some more runs in before the end of the night.
Here is 2 runs of the SCT tune and one of the 5 star 89 tune. There was a few cars that messed up the track so it made my night short. I'll have some 5 star 93 tune runs and runs with in intake soon. :-) Note I think the +7 mph actually hurt the 5 star tune. I was missing my peak torque, so I dialed it back to +3 and she runs much better, but I wasn't able to get another run in.
Remember that all the runs were in 100 degree summer heat with the track only cooling down to about 95. A few runs in winter at 50 degrees will net much better results. :-)
Planning on a full exhaust next. I want low 13s or high 12s on race gas just for fun.
