Default Ford's Strong Answer to Sceptics

When Ford introduced F150 in 2011 many sceptics and naysayers didn't believe Ford could compete. Now they were proven very wrong as Ford has sold 500,000 F150 pickups, all powered by EcoBoost V6. Ford has done this in just over three years.

It's amazing. How they did it? I think the success is surely will continue (don't like to use the word guaranteed), but this is one of the best trucks in the market.

Well, I'm not a Ford fan nor a hater ... I don't really have any brand preferences, to tell you the truth, but my GMs have always treated me well, and I probably would have just continued on that course.

So, I would not have a Ford in my driveway if not for the Ecoboost, I can tell you that right now! One drive and all of the other 1/2 tons on the market seemed to lose their appeal to me. And if my F150 EB works well, we'll likely buy an Ecoboost Expedition to replace our Suburban. So in my particular case, the EB has worked for Ford.

Because my Ecoboost was an Ecobust, so I traded it in on a 2014

Sure, but one less repeat Ecoboost customer! Every customer matters, right?

Absolutely they can. They can go 200k miles. Just not without alot of money thrown at it.
