Because it has such great low end grunt it bends the leaf springs and makes my truck shake at every start from a stop.

I have such a love hate relationship with it.

I hate the ecoboost because it gains 100+ ft-lbs or torque with a tune. I hate the ecoboost cause I hear it spool up every time it accelerates. I hate the ecoboost cause I didn't buy one. I hate the ecoboost cause real trucks have to have V-8s or straight sixes, preferably without spark plugs. I hate the ecoboost cause they tend to get better mileage than my V-8. I hate the ecoboost cause it has a wide torque curve. I hate the ecoboost because It's new and different for the half ton market.

Cause my Audi puts out 200hp/liter and my Eco does not.
At least not yet.

It's not about "hating" it's just that I prefer my V-8.

I hate the ecoboost because my truck makes 445 hp and 550 ft lb with minimal investment, gets 20+ mpg normally and 24 on trips, carries 6 people, can carry an atv, and can tow a 50 hp John Deere or a 23' twin outboard catamaran. Oh wait...
