I got this e-mail from my dealership showing that our local farm, Grimway Farms in Bakersfield, CA., had recently switched over to using a fleet of eco-boost f-150's for a lot of their farming uses, and I thought it was pretty cool to hear Mike Rowe talking about our big, little town. LOL. I see their trucks all the time and even talked to one of their shop mechanics a few months ago, who asked me how I liked mine at the gas station and he was telling me how great the EcoBoost engine was working out for them. Some have 90K and going strong! I think this is REAL WORLD testing. ALSO, this was not started as an EcoBoost vs. 5.0 thread, as I see lots of their pickups with the 5.0's, this is just simply highlighting the little engine that could! None the less, here is the video.

Some propagandizing, but still a very cool video. I wish these types of "Real World Look" vids weren't so....produced. Just let the guys talk, who cares if their words aren't flashy and made for TV, that's what originally made "reality" TV so appealing in the first place.

Agreed... "reality" commercials and tv are very different from what they used to be.

Great video, thank you for sharing. I can relate with using my ecoboost when I needed a job done.

nom..nom..nom...nom. That piece of machinery that's picking the carrots is a one of a kind. Grimway had it made for them and cost something like 3 million to make. I saw that on the History channel's Modern Marvels. It drives by GPS.

I love Grimmway Organic produce. Glad to see they are keeping my money in America.
