Default Ecoboost success stories!

I am only reading people's bad experiences with their ecoboost motors, how about a change of pace with some success stories!

I have less then 5k on my truck but it's been a joy so far. I'm breaking her in nice and easy, not driving too aggressive, and haven't towed yet but will soon. love the truck so far, ecoboost is fantastic.

Something I always try to remind people:

People typically post on forums to get help or complain about their problems. People rarely start threads talking about their issue free trucks or about how great they are. For every bad thread or bad experience someone has with their EcoBoost motor, there are HUNDREDS of people that love them and have little to no issues with them.

Count me as one of the people very pleased with their EcoBoost motor so far. My coworker has a 2014 F150 Platinum with the 3.5 EcoBoost with 80k+ and he absolutely loves it.

Almost 3 yrs owning mine and no problems with the engine or the truck. The little Ecoboost pulls better then the 5.0 I had in my '11 Lariat plus a little better gas mileage.




Pulled my son in laws 9K pound boat easily.

Great posts everyone. Just get tired of hearing all the negative posts constantly. I had a 2002 Ranger as my last truck and ran the mileage up on it. Treated it pretty rough as I was in high school and college, but I just took care of it and it was durable as hell.

My last two work trucks have been F150s 4x4 with the ecoboost a 2011 and 2014. No motor issues just in for brakes and oil changes. I got myself a 2015 F150 with ecoboost real happy with it.
