I was considering asking the same question, as SOTP is subjective. I know unloaded the performance is close to my Silverado SS w/ a tune, intake, exaust, ported TB, 2nd and 4th gear synchros and a lower thermostat.

Loaded the Ecoboost moves my side x side and gear much easier..That easily puts this thing at about 385hp and 400tq-425lbft of tq engine wise. My payload was about 400lbs more on the SS though.

 

I have dyno sheets in my profile pictures of what my stock 2011 4X4 crew 3.5L put down at the wheels. They are hard to read but I can't attach the documents in a post. Let me know if you can't read them and I'll post the numbers.

 

It's nice when it's easy to pick out the trolls.
Thanks!

 

Figuring a 15% driveline loss...tq numbers to the engine aren't too far off. The HP is def lower though. I still find it pretty impressive where the power is made. Nice graphs.

 

I'm a troll,Where do you live smartass??? Maybe i can use the dyno you have in your house!! Same tire's an wheel's same small trailer's and this eb does nobetter pulling or fuel economy than a 5.4 but i'm a troll

 

60,000 on my EB now. Never been to the shop.

Several 2,000 mile round trips making 22 to 24 mpg driving 74 mph.

I have used all blends of gas. No difference that I have noticed. I had one occasion that it shuddered and the light came on. Pinged and coughed under light acceleration. I had bought some cheap gas but I couldn't remember where. Somewhere in Oklahoma City on the southeast side off I-40.

I pull a trailer with vending machines that weigh approx 4,000 lbs that reduce my mpg to as low as 13 to 17 depending on the wind.

You can see the trailer at ottoleellc.com

At 60 mph I do get a hesitation when punching it. Maybe 2 seconds while it goes from 6th gear and 1500 rpm to 3rd gear and 4,000 rpm. It about jerks your head off. But that is ok never do that unless I am having road rage.

Driving 75 mph it will never downshift unless I am pushing a strong head wind 30 mph going up hill pulling trailer of 4,000 lbs.

I will never drive anything but a EB again. I see a lot of theses on the road now and when I talk to those people they love them.

 

I managed to get mine to inject water yesterday. But it was pretty hard to do.

Normal story. Rain and hwy cruising for an hour or so.

I decided to test it at a light and gave heavy throttle at a stoplight. Just below tire spin throttle. Nothing unusual. Got to on ramp a bit later and really laid into it. It revved, then I let off the throttle because I was doing 75 in a 65. After letting off throttle there was an oddly timed downshift and it shook a bit while coasting down to about 55. No dummy lights and resumed cruising normally.

 

I traded an 07 5.4 on a 2012 EB. I can tell you that it does pull better and get better mileage. BUT I had the problem returning from Fla. to Mi. while driving in the rain. It really is scary.

What bothers me is Ford's response to this. I have had several Ford vehicles in recent years and never been treated like this. After the dealer checked all the TSB's etc. I called their customer assistance people and that is pretty much a worthless organization. They never tell you anything that will help and just want to get you off the phone and I was being polite with them. The least they could do is give me an honest answer.

I even asked about me installing a Full Race intercooler and was told it would void my warranty. Figure that out.

 

sub'd.. very interesting reading

 

I had 3 different 5.4 in a row and none was even close to my EB in pulling power or in fuel economy. And they were all tuned. If your's isn't better at both somethings definitely wrong with it.
