i have a 2011 3.5 Ecoboost with now abit over 1500 miles on it. So far has been awesome, & enjoy it everyday. no problems to report as of yet, my fuel milage has been spot on as of all the advertisements. my main problem i have with this question is that many people say they are afraid to get an ecoboost cuz its new technology, & that they want the tried & true 5.0, issue is, that the new 5.0 coyote engine is "NEW", its not the old engine they are thinking of. Also the OLD 5.0 was really a 4.9, i know there are many out there that will dispute this but it was a 4.9 liter engine. also as for the fear of oil cooking in the turbos cuz you didnt let it cool down by letting your engine run for like 10mins after you stop, thats not an issue with the ecoboost. when shut down, it goes into water cooling mode which cycles water through the turbos until they are cooled down. end result for me is, what many here have said, go with what you like, i drove a 5.0 and the Ecoboost, both where impressive, but in the end i felt the EcoBoost was where it was at, & have been happy since purchase, & nothing is perfect, hope i dont have a problem but if i do, thats why i accepted a 6yr/100k mile bumper to bumper warranty.
Happy motoring to you all out there!
P.S. i purchased my F150 EcoBoost XLT SuperCab in Feb 2012, it was built on 8 Sept 2011, had 24 miles on it when i bought it this year, and yes it was a brand new truck, guess white isnt that popular color LOL.

I do not have any. Wish I owned one instead of the eco.
My point is that you see very little complaints with 5.0 and yes most people on this site do indeed own ecoboost. If most people are like me they didn't start to look at these sites until they experienced problems, I conclude that more problems with Eco than 5.0.

Actually I came here to see if there were any problems with the eco's popping up. Thus far I haven't really seen anything alarming... Just a lot of mpg complaints but I also get a lot of those from people every day with various trucks and then when you follow them some where they drive like a bat outta hell and 80+ everywhere on the interstate.
100% happy with my eco...
