Your missing my 2 points: 1. I have an ecoboost and I am not seeing it--the hype. 2. I think there are a bunch of trolls who try to beat down people who make valid points. Thank you for the initial proof. Is there anyone with any courage who wants to step up or just a bunch of cowards who hide from the truth? Please..."a heavy hauler". It is a light-duty truck. If you use it for the hauling capacity, how long is it really going to last? Not even 100k miles! Let's all try to be open-minded.
Got plenty of friends that use an Ecoboost as a work truck in construction, several over 100k miles so maybe YOU should be open minded |

Coking does suck, and we will see how ford chooses to deal with it in the future.
The only thing i'd want more from my Ecoboost is a better exhaust note, it just doesn't sound like a truck :( thank you for your concern I really appreciate your reasonable approach and I am really glad you are happy. I just totaled my 5.0 and got the eco. I am unimpressed. The coking is my concern. I am still pissed about the total and feeling forced. This is my work truck and I don't tow. I just feel like Ford did some pretty week engineering. |

I don't do coke anymore and I think the Ford engineers are off on weekends...maybe that explains it.

I use mine for construction too. That doesn't make it a heavy hauler and you have not contradicted anything I have said. In other words you and many other posters have made no valid points. They are merely detractors and distractions from valid issues. |
