ISSUE
Around the 20,000 mile mark, Ford F-150 EcoBoost is having the following problems:
• Engine mis-firing while idle
• Returns to idle when accelerating to merge onto freeway
• Reverse camera issues
• Random check engine light

Potential Cause
• Blown Engine
o To diagnose a potential blown engine, Summertop511 suggests using a compression checker to check cylinder compression. All cylinders should be within 15 psi of eachother, otherwise there is a blown engine possibility.

I haven't read about many issues with the 2013's since they redesigned the intercooler. However, I bought mine in early 2011 and haven't had any issues at all with it in over 2 years of ownership.

Problems gone

I stopped coming to this thread due to the moderators not scrubbing all of the idiotic posts on here. But for the purpose of helping anyone else who has similar issues here is my update.

Ford applied the latest TSB, replaced intercooler, flashed to latest, etc. etc.

Haven't had an issue since and it has been a few months now. Truck is back to getting a 18.3 hand calculated mpgs with 50/50 city/highway driving. People can bash the ecoboost all they want I still love mine despite having an issue with it.
