Love it for the crazy power and speed of the truck. It will keep up if not beat ANY V8 offering from the other makes ( 5.7's & 6.2L). Just don't get it for fuel economy.

I 2nd this, don't expect advertised mpg's. If you choose it make sure you are choosing it for the power, great low end torque...

I want it for power. That is my main reason for hauling my car trailer with a couple rzr 1000's. I wasn't paying close attention to gas mileage. But I'm still curious to what everyone is getting

I have had my ecoboost for 6 months now. LOVE the power, the power and power. I would say the only con is the fuel economy isn't what everyone thinks it is, I would say its the same as the v8's. and im fine with that cause it makes more power than the v8's. I only thing I don't like is the fuel economy really swings with the outside temp. In the cold it drinks, but it likes the heat.

Tell you what ecoboost, 3.55 rear end , crappy scorpion tires turning onto a road and trying to slip into a tight traffic going to fast will give you a yippi Kai eh **** as your back end tries to swap places with the front. It's a beast and I like it.

I have only had mine a little over a month, but I get plenty of "smiles per mile"! I grin every time the MPGs go down!
