firstly, welcome
Secondly, i know why you like large engines-same reason as i do-lots of torque, lazy drive, easy acceleration etc.
They are a bit juicy though..
I'd suggest something similar to what i'm drivng just now. Its a saab 9-3 turbo.
As a 2.0 when your off boost, the mpg is decent compared to most of the us cars in the same class.
The turbo can be fettled to give decent power-the car is light so you dont need as much hp to shift it.
They seem fairly popular in the US and Š3500 would get you a good one and some tuning
Failing that if you go for the f150 you want a WARM air intake to boost mpg's!
