Been hearing lately about individuals that purchased their F-150's with the Ecoboost motor having issues and not being happy after paying a premium price for their trucks. When I was shopping around for my 2011 F-150 Screw with the off-road package the dealership tried to sell me the Ecoboost motor. I told the sales woman that I would not own a fullsize pickup with a V6 motor. I told her there is no replacement for displacement. Plus I told her you have a new motor with new technology, I was not going to be a test bed for Ford. I am very happy with the 5.0 all aluminum motor 360hp , 3.73 rearend with tow packaged, 4x4 offroad package, and I get 20 highway, 17.5 city for gas mileage. I think Ford sold everyone a bill of goods with their Ecoboost motor. I told the sales woman that the Ecoboost motor is great in a passenger car but would not stand the test of time in a pickup. Im glad for the choice I made. Feel a little sad for those who did not. Bill

 

Sorry for your loss.....
Seriuosly though, there are alot of happy ecoboost owners.
Enjoy the new truck!

 

For f*** sake!

So much fail here..

Why do people complain about ecoboost problems when they don't even have them?

 

I love that quote, but I wouldn't stand behind it.

 

Lol. It's called forced induction. Not like the 5.0L hasn't had it's share of problems too.

Why do people feel compelled to troll?

 

Why not? A forced induction coyote will wax an ecoboost.

Waiting for eb owners and their "but we have two less cylinders" excuses.

 

No doubt it would. But there's a line between economy and performance that created the market for a FI V6 in a Full Size truck.

Frankly, I'm surprised the Raptor wasn't build with a FI V8, but only a NA 6.2L. That would be insane. And yes, I own an EB, very happy with it. Not knocking the Coyote, just prefer the extra torque.

 

Well then you coyote owners would cry at the "extra premium"for the twins.....
This thread is a total fail....if only i could say what i really think..lol

 

Why do people throw "troll" out there when someone disagrees with them in a forum?

I'm hardly a troll.

I'm simply saying that relying on displacement to always trump is a bit archaic.

EDIT: At the end of the day, to each their own. I love my 5.4L and if I ever do replace it, it will not be with the EcoBoost. After driving each engine, I preferred the PowerStroke.

 

At the end of the day....powerstroke is not even relavent to the"f150" lineup. Just saying
And the 5.4 had/has it's own fair share of problems...just saying
Edit...i dont think you are a troll....but the OP definetly is TROLLING!
