If you want your truck to sound like this than buy the Ecoboost!

Just get rid of your truck instead of trolling with your manufacturing defect of a truck. It's not our fault you ended up with a lemon and keep on paying!
Lots of people with ecoboosts that don't have your problem.

Any Ecoboost owners out there with higher mileage that can offer comments good bad or otherwise. Still a bit undecided on the new 5.0 or 3.5 EB. Have not heard too many bad things on the 5.0. Most EB comments I have read appear to have fairly low miles. I have heard about issues with gas in the oil, timing chain issues to name a few. I also know people tend to only report the negatives(probably myself included 
). I tow a 30' TT which runs about 6500# loaded with approximately a 850# tongue wt. Appreciate any feedback!

I have a 2012 Platinum Eco with 169,000(About 104,000 miles) kms on it. Had an issue [MENTION=88544]Aro[/MENTION]und 55,000 kms with the intercoolers, but other than that, no issues. Pulls great. Having said that, a guy who works for me has a 2011. 5.0, with roughly the same mileage as mine , and has no major issues either. Based on knowing a little about both engines, I would have no problem buying one or the other.

Yeah well just type in "5.0 engine knock f150" into Google.

Pretty sure that if your truck had the issues that many Eco-boost owners are having you would be singing a different tune.

53k on my '11 s.crew. No motor or drivetrain related issues. Had vac pump get loud, rear pinion seal let go, rear shocks leak, rear defroster quit.....those alone make it the most troublesome truck I've owned, and I've had a lot of them, but even with that being said....this ones the best.
