Any comments on the new 2017 ecoboost and 10-speed transmission? I've read all the magazine reviews, just wondering what actual owners think of it. (thinking of buying a 2017 Lariat or Platinum)

BTW, this is my first post! I currently own a 2005 F-150 FX4 SuperCrew. Bought it brand new.

Try the search feature a few threads are already started on the topic. Seems like all positive reviews so far. People rave about the power.

SilentSteel

Really good power. Love mine.

denimtouch

will the 10 speed be standard across all trims?

MUFFMAN

The 10 speed won't be available with the non turbo 3.5 for 2017

superwarp

Yes, with the 3.5L Eco.

I drove one last month when looking to buy. Very impressive power. Feels much better than the 16 that I ended up buying with the 3.5 6spd 3.55. The only reason I didn't buy it is the rest of the truck wasn't what I wanted and it was the only one around at the time. But I can tell you, sometimes I wish I had went with it.

I think it's a game changer.

Thank you for the replies! (I did search....maybe I missed the other threads)

Like most buyers, I'm trying to decide between getting a good deal on a 2016 Ecoboost 6-speed or spending the considerable additional $$$ for a 2017 Ecoboost 10-speed.

I wasn't sure which 10 speed thread to post, so I'll ask here. I just test drove a 3.5 with the 10 speed. The truck had plenty of power. My question is Ford's transmission characteristics. I can't compare to the 6 speed or any other late model Ford truck as the last one we had was IIRC an 05 Lariat with the 5.4 and had a lot of transmission problems mainly due to pulling a tow hauler. Anyways, on my test drive the pick up and shifting felt fine. Getting on the freeway I was up to 80 mph halfway down the on ramp. My concern was driving down a main street at around 45 mph. As I slowly took off from a signal and was cruising down the street if felt as if the truck was surging or a tad jerking, this is my best description. It didn't feel like the truck was shifting inappropriately nor were the rpm's fluctuating. Just a surge type feeling of back and forth similar to driving a stick shift and your in 4th gear at 20 mph and the rpm/speed/gears are not matched. Hope this makes sense, I was just curious as it didn't feel smooth.
