2011 Engine question?
looking to buy a 2011 ford f150 supercrew xlt 4x4.. got so caught up in the niceness of the truck last night that i didnt catch what kind of engine it had in it.. are the 2011 truck engines for this model good ones? i think he said it was ecoboost v8 but im not exactly sure.. we sorda ran up to the dealer last minute..
any input? |
The EcoBoost is a V6. It's a sweet engine. Do you remember a badge on the side of the truck. You could also check the inventory online. The sticker would have had a $750 charge for it. If your state has front plates the holder is off to the side instead of centered.

dang i just checked the inventory list and its a v8 so i guess its the 5.0? is that a good engine compared to the eco boost??

That's a big debate:eek: V8 guys vs. new tech. V6 should have better mileage for most driving but they will be equal pulling a load. EcoBoost has better torque and HP and cost more. Until you drive off the lot it's not too late to change your mind. Check-out the torture test video's on Ford site. The EcoBoost doing a full throttle race against the Ram and GMC V8s pulling a 9000# trailer up a 6% grade is amazing. Plus the EcoBoost had a 160,000 miles on it. |
the eco boost the guy said would run me about 2,000 more and i need to make a decision today.. ill be driving highway alot.. offroad alot and ill be lifting the truck.. what do you think?

I was looking at the V8s until I watched the video's then I test drove them both. I have an EcoBoost. I did get the Ford 7yr 100,000 mile transferable warranty too. I got the FX4 and it was a $750 charge so they must be charging more on the XLT.

It might be $2000 over base 3.7L V6, it is only $750 over the 5.0L V8 price.

which one would be faster? acceleration... long haul etc

Ford didn't race there own engine. But the EB v6 has a better torque curve producing a lot more torque at lower RPMs and a higher hp rating. In the same truck the EB should be faster.
I know when I punch it going 70 I get a huge smile as I quickly get to 90 plus and then the wife starts yelling at me. |
