1. Sort of. Has good perf. on 91. Sucks on 87. Falls on its face after 4800rpm.
2. No. 13mpg city or highway (granted I have taller tires, but the fall-off is dramatic in the Ecoboost. A naturally aspirated V-8 would be better suited to constant load mpg.
3. No.
4. Not at this time.

My MPG drop off (because of bigger tires) on my EB was about the same as the MPG drop off I got when adding larger tires to my N/A V8's. But the EB lost less power from the bigger tires.

1) Like it: yes, the torque and drivability is amazing
2) No, mileage is CRAP (12.3 overall at 8K)
3) No problems other than #2
4) Probably not, might as well get a big block V8 6.2L

Do you like ityour ecoboost engine? YES
Is your mileage what you expected? No and Yes. Window sticker is completely out to lunch but 20" wheels and 3.73 gears will affect mileage, and leveling kit and 33" M/T's will affect mileage, and at the end of the day it is a truck that can do work and tow what a much larger truck can with ease.
Have you had any significant problems with the engine? What is your definition of significant? I had an injector #1 fail (the problem was diagnosing the problem), also my ECU wiring was loose and causing a misfire code on cylinder #2 (also difficulty diagnosing the problem on a brand new engine). That being said, are these significant problems? The answer is no, these are unplug old and plug in new problems that ford has learned a lot about diagnosing a brand new model year engine.
Would you buy another Ford with the Ecoboost engine? Yes of course. Bring on a 5.0 Eco.
