How do you like the ecoboost? Pros? Cons?

Love it for the crazy power and speed of the truck. It will keep up if not beat ANY V8 offering from the other makes ( 5.7's & 6.2L). Just don't get it for fuel economy.

I 2nd this, don't expect advertised mpg's. If you choose it make sure you are choosing it for the power, great low end torque...

I want it for power. That is my main reason for hauling my car trailer with a couple rzr 1000's. I wasn't paying close attention to gas mileage. But I'm still curious to what everyone is getting

I have had my ecoboost for 6 months now. LOVE the power, the power and power. I would say the only con is the fuel economy isn't what everyone thinks it is, I would say its the same as the v8's. and im fine with that cause it makes more power than the v8's. I only thing I don't like is the fuel economy really swings with the outside temp. In the cold it drinks, but it likes the heat.

Tell you what ecoboost, 3.55 rear end , crappy scorpion tires turning onto a road and trying to slip into a tight traffic going to fast will give you a yippi Kai eh **** as your back end tries to swap places with the front. It's a beast and I like it.

I have only had mine a little over a month, but I get plenty of "smiles per mile"! I grin every time the MPGs go down!
