Default Ecoboost 1/4 Mile Time
Entered a bracket race for the hell of it on Saturday. I, along with everyone else, was surprised I ran a sub 14.50 in the 1/4 mile with a stock truck. Ran 4 runs all within .01 of each other. Was faster than a lot of the naturally aspirated “sports cars” at 4,500 ft elevation

Was in 2wd. I could have been more aggressive launching it- was pretty gentle on it. Didn’t want to risk damaging anything on my 60k daily driver.

Sounds like you could've gotten darn near/into 13s with the right launch and traction control totally off!

Doesnt most newer Eco's run in the high 13's stock, without punishing the truck! AWD mode with a little pre-boost at launch and let it rip---
