Had a 16 platinum and now have a 17 limited. My 16 had a 6 inch lift with 24x12s on 35s. Still would slap leveled 5.0s.

Close second would be the 5.3. Only downside to the eco boost is if you do a level with 33x12.50 your gas mileage takes a huge hit. Lifting it is oven worse. My 16 only got like 11.5 to 12 most of the time. Good looking trucks though.
I have 128k miles on my 2014 F150. I change the oil every 3500 miles. Only issue so far was the leaking vacuum pump. Still a strong engine that I am very happy with.
I have a 2018 2.7 EB and couldnt be happier. Its only leveled on 33s, but it definitely handles its own against V8 trucks, 5.3 Chevy and 5.7 Ram cant touch it.
Like randomly loosing oil pressure... or how they don’t like to start with old oil.. lol worst thing they ever put them in was the econoline vans. No friggin room . One of them were in our other bay today . I chose to work on a 6.4 instead 😂 they had the whole thing apart for a single leaking o ring under the drivers valve cover. Not long after a dealer bulletproofed it for the man. 6.0’s are great , but you need tools . Lol
Buddy that shit has been told time and time and time again just ask a cummins or duramax guy they will tell you for free all the problems they have and why they suck which you just have to take because they aren’t really wrong
If you want to get technicole, yes. The fiesta was the first to bare the ecoboost name. But the ecoboost traces its lineage back to the mazdaspeed 3 and mazdaspeed6 from the early 2000s.
I own a 2018 F150 STX with the 2.7 Eco Boost...I love it! It definitely has get up and go when I want it plus great gas mileage. I put a Rough Country 2 inch level on it and doing wheels/tires in the next 6 months (once my current tires wear out). I highly recommend it!
I’m 61 and Love my tiny 23 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150, quiet plenty torque and seems never stressed rarely climbs to 3,000 rpm and can do a lil better than 21 if your an easy driver. This is my 2nd one both have so far been flawless!!! Trucks are kinda like a man’s woman, I don’t talk trash about anybody else’s rig and I never comment on a mother man’s woman.
Looking to buy an F-150 EcoBoost within the next two weeks. I’ve already experienced the EcoBoost in an Explorer Sport, and it is no joke. It is by far the most refined engine I’ve ever been behind, and also very quiet. At idle it ticks away quietly at 600 rpm’s. But this is no lazy engine, you put your foot into it and if you’ve got the radio turned down you hear the turbo spool and the endless torque just starts pushing you down the road. This engine doesn’t even break a sweat towing anything under 5,000 lbs, and you’ve got plenty of passing power at disposal. The one huge drawback with this engine is that mercilessly guzzles gas. When driving on backroads, it only managed to average 20 mpg. The best I’ve ever gotten from it was on a 3 hour long highway trip where it managed 32 mpg, but I haven’t seen those kinds of numbers ever again. Great engine, just be ready to maintain it religiously and pay for only slightly better fuel economy than a V8.
Currently on my 2nd Ecoboost. First was a 15 Fusion with the 1.5L. Now in a 19 Ranger with the 2.3. I kind of screwed up and bought a RV that’s gonna be right at edge of what I’d be comfortable towing with the Ranger (28’ and about 6800lbs) so I’m not sure if I need a bigger truck for safety if I get a older PowerStroke (7.3 preferably but open to a 6.0 if it’s in good shape) or a F150 with one of the Ecoboosts. Other than the high pressure pump acting up at about 90k miles on the Fusion, absolutely zero issues.
I have a 2013 F150 3.5 Ecoboost Limited. Never an issue..223,540 miles..I outsold Ford..mostly trucks at a dealership in Belleville Wisconsin...Oil changes are vital to the Ecoboost..I change my oil every 40,000, probably more than necessary. I still get 18 to 19 MPG. Never a timing chain issue.
Love my 2013 bought it with 50,000 miles at the end of 2017 just shy of 115,000 miles now and almost 30,000 miles of that have been towing either boat, car hauler, and camper I've towed as much as 15,000 pounds on short trips and once between passengers and a box full of cement blocks and mulch had almost 4000 pounds of weight on the truck an never bottomed out the suspension and have had no issues I absolutely love that engine
I LOVE my 15 ecoboost! Had it for about a year now, and I have no complaints at all. I did some work to it(cold air, MBRP 4 inch exhaust, and morimoto y pipe from the turbos) but that's only because I HATE stock lol
@@ernestogarcia4563 I haven't noticed any hard shifts. I bought it with 81k on it, it's now at 131k. Like I said, I did do some work to it, but nothing in the transmission. I've pulled my boat with it up and down hills at the lake, which isn't that big or heavy(18ft bass boat) but I never had any problems. Even before the work was done it didn't give me any trouble.
I have 2016 f150 lariat eco boost 3.5 . The power that such a small cubic inch engine can put out amazes me , and it’s hard to comprehend this is just an engine out of a Taurus . I had a 2010 Mazda truck with the 4.0 litre ,and the mileage was worse and the truck smaller too boot, so it’s quite an accomplishment to have far better ergonomics and better mileage with no negatives that I have found so far . Maybe I’ll change my mind if I have a catastrophic failure , but I only have 27,000 kilometres on it since I purchased it in 2016, and ford changes the oil when they swap the winter tires off and on, so she’s getting a major amount of oil changes to actual miles used
Not gonna lie was a bit skeptical of the eco boost... and I'm coming from a 7.3 and a 6.0 powerstroke. Now have a 2015 ecoboost and it impress at every turn. I pull trailers regularly and it pulls everything with out a hiccup fule mileage is grate and is a solid truck very happy with it
Curious how many miles you have on it. I am looking into the PowerBoost but am concerned about longevity in a twin turbo v6. I have a 2004 Tahoe with the 5.3 with 200k and never an issue aside from replacing water pump at 180k. Looking for a new truck I can get 200k out of with no major issues.
@@chrisdemas8246 I recommend you watch the torture test that top gear did for the 3.5L eco boost. I drive a 2014 3.5L and I’ve had no issues this far with 125,xxx miles on it I’ve done all the maintenance in the truck and it runs like a dream definitely recommend gets about 17 mpg going 60-65 and all in all I’ve had great experiences with it
Went from a much loved but no longer needed '11 6.7 Lariat CCLB to a 3.5 Eco XLT Sport SC and love that one now except for the dinky 6.5 foot bed. I do NOT miss $4.50 diesel fuel and $13/jug DEF. If I need a nice soothing V8 rumble, I just crank up the modified 302 (5.0) engine in my '31 Ford roadster and go for a ride around town.
12 fx4 ecoboost crp full bore headers, stage 3 turbos with turbine housing adapters, 3in cated y pipe. Inter cooler intake running a tune. 176,000 miles running strong only failure was the valve body years ago switched it out myself never gave me another problem we’ll see with the higher mileage I’m putting on it
@@OfficialRegulatededitss I should have done internal upgrades but I don’t push mine all crazy I believe melling has a high volume oil pump which you could put on with the 85psi spring if you keep internals stock. Look into crpengineering or I went with 5startuning they get the turbos from crpengineering well worth the money in my opinion you can really tell a difference
Have 2018 Expedition Max.... beautiful, comfortable, powerful and economical. I've gotten 22.5 mog hwy on the regular. I did phasers myself, along with Motorcraft plugs, filters, coolant hoses etc. All parts cost less than $900 including all timing components. Haven't had any issues. 109k mi
Bought a used 2015 today. I'm a Chevy man but damn when I stepped on the pedal I became a believer. I got the lariat. I don't know much about Ford trim levels or engines so I was definitely hesitant but then I drove it.
I had a 2013 ecoboost. I miss it. It was quite a bit stouter than the next truck which was a 5.0 and they were both substantially stouter than the 04 GMC 5.3 that both my boys drove through high school. I’m currently in a Taco but will soon be back in a ecoboost or powerboost. Maybe a f250 with a 6.7 (I don’t need it just kinda want it).
Never thought I would like it as much as I did but 2014 FX4 EcoBoost loved it so much only issue rust badly just traded it a few months back 2018 lariat EcoBoost fully loaded so love the truck
Had a gmc 1500 with 100 000km had trouble towing 3000pounds, traded it in for a 3,5 ecoboost was towing a 6000pound camping rv felt like i was pulling a quad , i dont regret buying one at all
As far as a Ecoboost in a fiesta i had a 2017 Fiesta ST and it’s actually a 1.6L not a 1.0 I built mine Big turbo kit, Mishimoto front mount intercooler, hardened charge pipes, short throw shift kit, 1 step colder NGK spark plugs, bigger injectors, Whoosh Race Rear motor mount, Custom cold air intake etc. tuned on 93 I was pushing 306hp to the front tires so yeah the Ecoboost is capable

All I’m going to say is I bought my first truck 2020 ford-150 2.7L 4x4 and from LA to Caldwell ID I filled the tank once. I even had the decked drawer in the back.
2012 Platty, Corsa DB exhaust with a res delete and she sounds like a baby diesel. Catch cans are an absolute must for this engine! got over 176k and shes still kicking like bruce lee! just started doing the timing/phaser rattle at start up if i havent started her in a couple days.
I currently have a 2020 f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost and it has been a great truck. I also had a 2018 (same truck basically) with the 2.7 and I beat the hell out of it. It handled everything just fine and I never had an issue. I would probably buy an ecoboost based off my almost 4 years experience driving them but I would probably go with the 3.5. The 2.7 is a great little engine but it is pushing almost 30 pounds of boost so longevity is something i'd be more concerned with.
I have a 2021 f150 3.5 ecoboost 4x4 it has 51k on it in witch my dad bought new and I just got it as a Xmas gift being he bought a 2024 gmc 3500 Denali dually ultimate I was totally surprised by the power and and hauling handling I'm truly impressed so when warranty is up I plan to do a tune nothing crazy and a Exhaust upgrade with waistgate we shall see how she holds up never though I would see a v6 doing what they do honestly great video Marry Christmas to everyone
I don’t know why i just thought of this, but what ever happened to the Chevy Reaper? I remember they made a concept for it, but then never heard another thing.
I remember there were two for sale at a dealership near me. A top of the line one and a lesser one. They were a lot of money and didn’t look all that nice. Their unique styling didn’t go well with that generation (slopping nose but boxy headlights etc…). I feel if they brought the Reaper back with its styling but on the current Chevy generation it would look sooo nice.
Had a 2017 3.5 ecoboost, leveled on 34’s. Loved it, but had to change phasers twice. Plus a few other issues. Just traded up to a 2021 3.5 ecoboost. Had some custom paint and decals added. Just waiting on my 4” BDS lift & Nitto trail grapplers. Will be adding to gallery once all the work is done.
I’m team V8, if I wanna have more power a super charger will make insane power on the Coyote 5.0L Plus I like the V8 rumble, and not having to worry about over complicated turbo issues.
My 2 cents from an '13 F150 Eco owner: They're great trucks till they're not. At about 100k the turbo coolant lines will start to leak and will be very costly if you are not mechanically inclined and fix it yourself. It's is a time consuming job to do yourself. If that's not enough the eco also will require new cam phasers and chains which will also cost a small fortune. So, unless you plan to trade it in after so many miles I would say go 5.0 or get the maximum extended warranty you can get FROM FORD not aftermarket. I hope Ford has fixed this issue on the newer models or that will be a huge mess for them.
Mines dead in the driveway until my timing chain comes in from being on back order.... other than that pretty good fully loaded platinum makes it really enjoyable to drive
another catch to the first gen Ecoboost: The exhaust manifold bolts tent to break off. I have a 2 gen Ecoboost which has cam phaser issues. But other than that its a great motor I would recommend.

My 16 only got like 11.5 to 12 most of the time. Good looking trucks though.
Probably one of the most fun trucks to drive
I have 128k miles on my 2014 F150. I change the oil every 3500 miles. Only issue so far was the leaking vacuum pump. Still a strong engine that I am very happy with.
I have a 2018 2.7 EB and couldnt be happier. Its only leveled on 33s, but it definitely handles its own against V8 trucks, 5.3 Chevy and 5.7 Ram cant touch it.
You guys should do a "So you want an 6.0 powerstroke" that way people know exactly what they are getting into when buying one.
I’m sure we could!
Alternative title: so you want a unreliable truck that you can get overpriced on Facebook marketplace ? How about the 6.0 powerstroke
@@urinesoakedtroglodyte5764 yea lol
Like randomly loosing oil pressure... or how they don’t like to start with old oil.. lol worst thing they ever put them in was the econoline vans. No friggin room . One of them were in our other bay today . I chose to work on a 6.4 instead 😂 they had the whole thing apart for a single leaking o ring under the drivers valve cover. Not long after a dealer bulletproofed it for the man. 6.0’s are great , but you need tools . Lol
Buddy that shit has been told time and time and time again just ask a cummins or duramax guy they will tell you for free all the problems they have and why they suck which you just have to take because they aren’t really wrong
I’ve got a 2012 with 3inch catless down pipes, 3 inch straight pipe, catch can and sct tuner and it is absolutely amazing.
If you want to get technicole, yes. The fiesta was the first to bare the ecoboost name. But the ecoboost traces its lineage back to the mazdaspeed 3 and mazdaspeed6 from the early 2000s.
I own a 2018 F150 STX with the 2.7 Eco Boost...I love it! It definitely has get up and go when I want it plus great gas mileage. I put a Rough Country 2 inch level on it and doing wheels/tires in the next 6 months (once my current tires wear out). I highly recommend it!
Hell yeah!
I’m 61 and Love my tiny 23 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150, quiet plenty torque and seems never stressed rarely climbs to 3,000 rpm and can do a lil better than 21 if your an easy driver. This is my 2nd one both have so far been flawless!!! Trucks are kinda like a man’s woman, I don’t talk trash about anybody else’s rig and I never comment on a mother man’s woman.
Looking to buy an F-150 EcoBoost within the next two weeks. I’ve already experienced the EcoBoost in an Explorer Sport, and it is no joke. It is by far the most refined engine I’ve ever been behind, and also very quiet. At idle it ticks away quietly at 600 rpm’s. But this is no lazy engine, you put your foot into it and if you’ve got the radio turned down you hear the turbo spool and the endless torque just starts pushing you down the road. This engine doesn’t even break a sweat towing anything under 5,000 lbs, and you’ve got plenty of passing power at disposal. The one huge drawback with this engine is that mercilessly guzzles gas. When driving on backroads, it only managed to average 20 mpg. The best I’ve ever gotten from it was on a 3 hour long highway trip where it managed 32 mpg, but I haven’t seen those kinds of numbers ever again. Great engine, just be ready to maintain it religiously and pay for only slightly better fuel economy than a V8.
I just bought a 12 3.5 eco and i love the truck. Time to start saving to do some interior swaps and then on to performance stuff
Currently on my 2nd Ecoboost. First was a 15 Fusion with the 1.5L. Now in a 19 Ranger with the 2.3. I kind of screwed up and bought a RV that’s gonna be right at edge of what I’d be comfortable towing with the Ranger (28’ and about 6800lbs) so I’m not sure if I need a bigger truck for safety if I get a older PowerStroke (7.3 preferably but open to a 6.0 if it’s in good shape) or a F150 with one of the Ecoboosts.
Other than the high pressure pump acting up at about 90k miles on the Fusion, absolutely zero issues.
Got me a 2018 3.5 Ecobeast. And this thing is a beast! Got it on a 6 inch rough country lift, with 35x12.5’s.
Is it in the gallery though?! customoffsets.com/add
@@CustomOffsetsTV touché!
I have a 2013 F150 3.5 Ecoboost Limited. Never an issue..223,540 miles..I outsold Ford..mostly trucks at a dealership in Belleville Wisconsin...Oil changes are vital to the Ecoboost..I change my oil every 40,000, probably more than necessary. I still get 18 to 19 MPG. Never a timing chain issue.
Love my 2013 bought it with 50,000 miles at the end of 2017 just shy of 115,000 miles now and almost 30,000 miles of that have been towing either boat, car hauler, and camper I've towed as much as 15,000 pounds on short trips and once between passengers and a box full of cement blocks and mulch had almost 4000 pounds of weight on the truck an never bottomed out the suspension and have had no issues I absolutely love that engine
I LOVE my 15 ecoboost! Had it for about a year now, and I have no complaints at all. I did some work to it(cold air, MBRP 4 inch exhaust, and morimoto y pipe from the turbos) but that's only because I HATE stock lol
I was looking into the 2015 F-150, but I heard it had some hard downshifts. What do you think? Also, how many miles did it have when you bought it?
@@ernestogarcia4563 I haven't noticed any hard shifts. I bought it with 81k on it, it's now at 131k. Like I said, I did do some work to it, but nothing in the transmission. I've pulled my boat with it up and down hills at the lake, which isn't that big or heavy(18ft bass boat) but I never had any problems. Even before the work was done it didn't give me any trouble.
Keep up the great videos! Wasn’t sold on the eco until I drove it….. then especially when I added mods!
I have a 2013 and i love it. 140k. Knock on wood still no major issues!
I have 2016 f150 lariat eco boost 3.5 . The power that such a small cubic inch engine can put out amazes me , and it’s hard to comprehend this is just an engine out of a Taurus .
I had a 2010 Mazda truck with the 4.0 litre ,and the mileage was worse and the truck smaller too boot, so it’s quite an accomplishment to have far better ergonomics and better mileage with no negatives that I have found so far .
Maybe I’ll change my mind if I have a catastrophic failure , but I only have 27,000 kilometres on it since I purchased it in 2016, and ford changes the oil when they swap the winter tires off and on, so she’s getting a major amount of oil changes to actual miles used
I actually liked driving my 2017 2.7 F150 Ecoboost more than my 2022 Sierra with the 6.2.
Not gonna lie was a bit skeptical of the eco boost... and I'm coming from a 7.3 and a 6.0 powerstroke. Now have a 2015 ecoboost and it impress at every turn. I pull trailers regularly and it pulls everything with out a hiccup fule mileage is grate and is a solid truck very happy with it
Curious how many miles you have on it. I am looking into the PowerBoost but am concerned about longevity in a twin turbo v6. I have a 2004 Tahoe with the 5.3 with 200k and never an issue aside from replacing water pump at 180k. Looking for a new truck I can get 200k out of with no major issues.
@@chrisdemas8246 I recommend you watch the torture test that top gear did for the 3.5L eco boost. I drive a 2014 3.5L and I’ve had no issues this far with 125,xxx miles on it I’ve done all the maintenance in the truck and it runs like a dream definitely recommend gets about 17 mpg going 60-65 and all in all I’ve had great experiences with it
Went from a much loved but no longer needed '11 6.7 Lariat CCLB to a 3.5 Eco XLT Sport SC and love that one now except for the dinky 6.5 foot bed. I do NOT miss $4.50 diesel fuel and $13/jug DEF. If I need a nice soothing V8 rumble, I just crank up the modified 302 (5.0) engine in my '31 Ford roadster and go for a ride around town.
Got a 2020 f-150 lariat,,,rousch cold air intake,,super 40 magnaflow cat back,,5 star 93 tune,,jlt oil catch can,,,this thing absolute eco-beast,,gr8 truck,,just deal with the sound
12 fx4 ecoboost crp full bore headers, stage 3 turbos with turbine housing adapters, 3in cated y pipe. Inter cooler intake running a tune. 176,000 miles running strong only failure was the valve body years ago switched it out myself never gave me another problem we’ll see with the higher mileage I’m putting on it
Hey where did you find those turbos? I wanna change mine do I have to change anything else internally?
@@OfficialRegulatededitss I should have done internal upgrades but I don’t push mine all crazy I believe melling has a high volume oil pump which you could put on with the 85psi spring if you keep internals stock. Look into crpengineering or I went with 5startuning they get the turbos from crpengineering well worth the money in my opinion you can really tell a difference
@@Jdahmer04 thanks brotha!! I have a coolant line leaking from my turbo so I’m thinking about just upgrading while I’m in there 😂
@@OfficialRegulatededitss lol that’s the reason why I upgraded also saves so much headaches later on. Good luck brotha keep me posted
Got 2020 f150 6 inch lift 20x10s 35s. Very little rub and engine runs amazing with Ecoboost. My wife loves it. !
Can’t beat that!
I’m on my 3rd 2015 2.7, fast as hell!!! 2019 fx4 2.7 loved it. Now 2021 3.5 fx4 power boost and what a game changer for me. Love this truck.
Have 2018 Expedition Max.... beautiful, comfortable, powerful and economical. I've gotten 22.5 mog hwy on the regular. I did phasers myself, along with Motorcraft plugs, filters, coolant hoses etc. All parts cost less than $900 including all timing components. Haven't had any issues. 109k mi
Bought a used 2015 today. I'm a Chevy man but damn when I stepped on the pedal I became a believer. I got the lariat. I don't know much about Ford trim levels or engines so I was definitely hesitant but then I drove it.
Have you had problems with it?
@@RhyderPennel not at all. I have 33s on it and it rips. Sounds like shit but it's been great
I like “so you want” series! Y’all should do every body on frame truck!
I had a 2013 ecoboost. I miss it. It was quite a bit stouter than the next truck which was a 5.0 and they were both substantially stouter than the 04 GMC 5.3 that both my boys drove through high school. I’m currently in a Taco but will soon be back in a ecoboost or powerboost. Maybe a f250 with a 6.7 (I don’t need it just kinda want it).
I had a couple of ecoboost trucks and they were decent but I prefer the wonderful noise and instant torque of a V8.
Never thought I would like it as much as I did but 2014 FX4 EcoBoost loved it so much only issue rust badly just traded it a few months back 2018 lariat EcoBoost fully loaded so love the truck
I have a 2014 ecoboost and I love it had 120 thousand miles but yeah been a great truck
Had a gmc 1500 with 100 000km had trouble towing 3000pounds, traded it in for a 3,5 ecoboost was towing a 6000pound camping rv felt like i was pulling a quad , i dont regret buying one at all
Love my 2012 3.5L ecoboost, I want to upgrade to the second generation eventually but i havent had problems yet, at 164,000 miles
Ford 3.5 Eco boost!
You must maintain and change that oil every 500 miles keep it clean and you’ll have no issues with the motor and the turbos!
Had my Raptor for almost 2 years and love the Ecoboost in it.
As far as a Ecoboost in a fiesta i had a 2017 Fiesta ST and it’s actually a 1.6L not a 1.0 I built mine Big turbo kit, Mishimoto front mount intercooler, hardened charge pipes, short throw shift kit, 1 step colder NGK spark plugs, bigger injectors, Whoosh Race Rear motor mount, Custom cold air intake etc. tuned on 93 I was pushing 306hp to the front tires so yeah the Ecoboost is capable

All I’m going to say is I bought my first truck 2020 ford-150 2.7L 4x4 and from LA to Caldwell ID I filled the tank once. I even had the decked drawer in the back.

@@maherhernandez92 phaser/timing chain replacement
@@Steven-cn8dr thanks
Love my 3.5 … especially the torque!
I love my 2.7… so reliable
Picked up a 13 FX4 Eco boost I love it
I currently have a 2020 f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost and it has been a great truck. I also had a 2018 (same truck basically) with the 2.7 and I beat the hell out of it. It handled everything just fine and I never had an issue. I would probably buy an ecoboost based off my almost 4 years experience driving them but I would probably go with the 3.5. The 2.7 is a great little engine but it is pushing almost 30 pounds of boost so longevity is something i'd be more concerned with.
It is pushing about 17 psi stock
@@foxtaubery9850 I don’t think it’s even that high
Thanks for this video sir, cautiously interested in one of these fun toys
I have a 2021 f150 3.5 ecoboost 4x4 it has 51k on it in witch my dad bought new and I just got it as a Xmas gift being he bought a 2024 gmc 3500 Denali dually ultimate I was totally surprised by the power and and hauling handling I'm truly impressed so when warranty is up I plan to do a tune nothing crazy and a Exhaust upgrade with waistgate we shall see how she holds up never though I would see a v6 doing what they do honestly great video
Marry Christmas to everyone
22 Explorer 2.3 over 52K miles in just 2 years and still perfect.
i drive my dads and it does its job. its all preference tho! people want the v8 for sound. Eco for power
At first i didnt like my dads 3.5l but it grew on me. Love taking it for a spin. I prefer loud v8’s.
@@cristiansofake7854 yea, the kids like a loud v8
Traded my ram for one, absolutely love it
I don’t know why i just thought of this, but what ever happened to the Chevy Reaper? I remember they made a concept for it, but then never heard another thing.
I remember there were two for sale at a dealership near me. A top of the line one and a lesser one. They were a lot of money and didn’t look all that nice. Their unique styling didn’t go well with that generation (slopping nose but boxy headlights etc…).
I feel if they brought the Reaper back with its styling but on the current Chevy generation it would look sooo nice.
Had a 2017 3.5 ecoboost, leveled on 34’s. Loved it, but had to change phasers twice. Plus a few other issues. Just traded up to a 2021 3.5 ecoboost. Had some custom paint and decals added. Just waiting on my 4” BDS lift & Nitto trail grapplers. Will be adding to gallery once all the work is done.
Nice work!
How'd your 17 do for mpg with the 34's?
@@ryanbengston I got 19 city/21-22 Hwy.
I’m team V8, if I wanna have more power a super charger will make insane power on the Coyote 5.0L

5.0 f150
Good luck finding one right now. With the demand of those trucks and the prices of them when you do find one sheeeeeeesh.
I’m a Chevy guy , but I don’t hate the eco boost lmao shit I put injectors in a 6.4 today 😂 🤷♂️ boost/ powa... I’m here for it
My 2 cents from an '13 F150 Eco owner: They're great trucks till they're not. At about 100k the turbo coolant lines will start to leak and will be very costly if you are not mechanically inclined and fix it yourself. It's is a time consuming job to do yourself. If that's not enough the eco also will require new cam phasers and chains which will also cost a small fortune. So, unless you plan to trade it in after so many miles I would say go 5.0 or get the maximum extended warranty you can get FROM FORD not aftermarket. I hope Ford has fixed this issue on the newer models or that will be a huge mess for them.
Mines dead in the driveway until my timing chain comes in from being on back order.... other than that pretty good fully loaded platinum makes it really enjoyable to drive
2018 F150 3.5 ecoboost with 70k, and it does way better in higher elevation than my old 2011 F150 5.0, MPG wise too.
another catch to the first gen Ecoboost: The exhaust manifold bolts tent to break off. I have a 2 gen Ecoboost which has cam phaser issues. But other than that its a great motor I would recommend.
The garage a Ford tech there told me the first gens are the ones you want later gens have the timing chain issues he told me my 14 likes the abuse.
I'm debating on getting a 17 plus f150 as chevy isn't as reliable from my experience
Go ford you won't regret it
I made the switch, drove Chevy for 20 years. Absolutely love my F150.
CATCH CAN will keep your ecoboost motor clean
Got a 2016 2.7 liter ecoboost on 20x10’s and 33’s leveled. Bout to cut them crash bars and slap some 22x12’s on 33’s underneath.
My wife had a SHO Taurus with the 3.5 ecoboost . Kept it to 150k no problems. If not for that stupid buried water pump I would of kept it. .
amazing trucks and can build power to i had a tune on mine with bigger injectors and it made over 500 hp

Crazy how y'all didn't mention the fact that Ford swapped the raptor from a 6.2L V8 to the EcoBoost
Touche...
I love my 2.7
Yep, not only is everyone copying ford on its ecoboost but the tailgate as well.
I love pulling hills in 10th gear at 60mph and only at 1800 rpm’s.
