Have almost bought a F150s ecoboost in the last 6 months ,but now a concern of not ready for prime time is showing up (power issue ,stumble and stall) ! Seems like everyone loves them until the power issue comes around ,and has there truck at the dealer a few times and problem not really being fixed ,and at least in the FL area, have seem many of the ecoboost F150 going up for sale .Now with the new 2015 coming out for those who can buy at those prices ,will trade up but it looks like some are just want to get rid of the truck due to the problems that keep coming back,and recoup some of their loss .Can anyone shed some light on this ,have alway liked Ford but looking for a truck that is fair on fuel,good on power and will at least go 2 to 3 hundred thousand if taken care of .Thanks in advance for any input !

U don't really need a turbo if you aren't living on long, high hills. Obviously I live in long high hills and love mine.
