Default Lets Talk ECO!

You bought it over the 3.7, 5.0, and 6.2.. What were you reasons and do you have any regrets?

Came from a diesel, closest gas engine to a diesel in respect to torque.

came from a Powerstroke. Eco tows 10k loads as good. Gets slightly worst mpg towing and quite a bit better on the hwy.
the diesel at 60 would get 17, the eco gets 19-20

Only complaints about ecoboost are its rough idle and hwy mpg at 70 isn't so great 17-18

I notice the rough idle as well but it isnt all the time, and it doesnt seem to be a constant thing that happens at certain temperatures either. I cant figure out what the trigger for it might be

Torque junkie as well. Been driving diesels since 96. Went to a motorhome versus the fifth wheels. I drive 60K a year and wanted the best mileage offered which was the ECOBOOST. Not one regret. The 6.2 was my second choice.
