Boost is the cure for high elevation. I would still take the V8.
I don't purchase a truck to drag race but want a good, V-8, like the 5.3 or 6.2 to get the job done. Don't get me wrong, I am sure the Ecoboost is a great motor but I personally, prefer a V-8. I am old school.
Roy Giller Same here, nothing against ford but just I can't stand the ecoboost.
I have researched the Ecoboost motors and the Ecoboost motors don't get much better than my V-8. The 5.0 is a good engine that Ford puts out. I agree about having turbo charge with a diesel engine.
The MPG is being forced upon the automotive makers by the EPA.
Roy Giller say bye bye to the epa at the end of 2018 thanks to mr president Donald trump 😊😊😊😄😄😄
Joel Dale you are delusional if you think Trump is going to abolish the EPA. I wish he would but Trump doesn't have the stones to do it. he's too busy on Twitter
If anyone is interested to see a 0-60 run closer to sea level, I have a video of a 2017 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 6.2 V8 8-speed without the max trailering package (so I have 3.23 axle). I ran 5.86 0-60. Using AIM SOLO GPS data logger.
I just watched that video. holy crap, that is impressive.
my new 6.2 l did 5.91 0-60
Yeah t he 6.2 is faster than the Ecoboost. His run in this video doesn't do it justice.
does tfltruck intend to ever test the truck at lower elevation? I enjoy watching these videos but I'm curious how much different the results are at near sea level where many of us actually use our trucks.
matt Overall times between these two trucks might be a bit closer at sea level but the results would likely be the same. I doubt the "factory tuned" EcoBoost engine apply higher boost psi to compensate for the less air density at altitude, therefore its performance is also affected, albeit less so than the na engine. Turbo charging certainly isn't new but it's still nice to see American engine manufacturers finally looking beyond 1950's technologies, especially for its mass production.
matt Exactly! Or at least apply the density altitude calculation to the results. Because not only does elevation affect but so does humidity, air temp, etc. Boosted engines are far less affected from elevation, proven time and time again.
matt, i ran it in under 6 seconds
matt completely agree. Im sick of all these 1 mile elevation tests.
A guy you don't know then dont watch tfl! they are based out of denver u idiot!
The GM 6.2 at sea level can run a 0-60 in 5.8 seconds that is a big difference compared to your results. Not fair to compare a naturally aspirated Engine vs a turbocharged engine at that elevation. I love TFL but not fair it needs to be fair
Articles I’ve read have new eco’s Running low to mid 5’s 0-60 mph motor trend to name one. 6.2L is a great engine as well though. My close second choice.
GM must like the idea 💡 because for 2019 they have a 2.7L turbo 4cylinder going in sierra’s & Silverado’s. These engines are the future. 🇺🇸
Adam Kessler Well the Ford also benefits by being overall lighter.
Less weight to get moving so even the 5.0 is almost as quick as the 6.2.
Though the Vortec 6.2L is a pretty impressive design. It actually beats the 3.5 in real world mpg because of the advanced cylinder deactivation that lets the engine run down to as much as two cylinders.
It’s also very light weight for a V8, a lot lighter than both Ford’s and Dodge’s V8 offerings.
Corvettes with the same motor can get up to 30 mpg.
The 2.7 is more or less an economy engine. Good for the people that don’t need or want the power of a V8 but still want a big truck.
I wouldn’t say it’s the future yet, between their trucks and performance cars, GM has proven time and time again that the ol’ push rod V8 is still very viable.
Now if only Chevy could get designs back in order.
can you guys review the special edition chevs? like the midnight the rally and so forth ?
Interesting. A friend of mine just got a new ecoboast and it cant keep us with my 6 year old 6.2 at ground level. Something to think about...
That 6.2L Big Boy V8 With A 3.42 Axle Ratio Is So Lovable & That's The Reason Why I Loved It.But It Could've Been A 6.10 Seconds A Mile Above Sea Level.
other then the better offroad capability that z71 gives you. does it give a little more power then the standard v8
can you drag race this against the Ford 2.7L V6? I'd love to see them raced a few times to see how close it is.
Im scared to death to purchase a EcoBoost F150. My neighbor purchased a NEW F150 and its on the AAA tow truck at least once a month.
Must be a fluke, I’ve read ecoboost forums and overall consensus is that they are very tough and reliable when maintained. Many well over 200,000 miles w/ little to no major issues.
Scared to death?
carmencolumbusohio get the new 5.0 v8
@@dennistv598 I thought that too, then I read about it and I won't buy a 2018+ 5.0. I am shopping ecoboosts only for f150 now or else a Chevy with the weaker but tried and true 5.3 v8
phobos2k2 get the 6.2 v8
The 10 speed and Ecoboost are an amazing combo!! All great engines, just a matter of preference👍🏻
Do the turbo engine have the torque as far down in the rev range as the 6,2?
I would still buy it for the love of v8
Did you try in 2wd?
I have an 07 gmc classic, duramax lbz. 8500lbs 32ft long 32" tires. my best 0-60 is 5.5 sec in two wheel drive. It's tuned with an "edge juice with altitude" and it's straight piped everything else is stock.
Just curious what all y'all are running
You got a tune for sure
got rid of the ECO boost, good gas mileage, good power ...may be fine for riding but if you do much pulling particularly around hills or mountains you will not be happy...and when you try to file warranty issues they will tell you that they are not designed for that and resist warranty work.... just not designed to be wahat a truck should be.....which is tough.
Everyone in the comment section. Put a supercharger on the 6.2 Ecotec and it’ll blow the doors off of a 3.5 Ecoboost.
Lol! I’d surely hope so... 👏
Everyone always says that but there is much more to it than just adding a supercharger. Many people have tried that on their LS engines and realize that they need to beef up other components to handle the power. Ford designed the 3.5 for boost applications. Either way they are both great motors...you are always gonna have a fanboy for each company. You cant go wrong with either.
lol all the butthurt about the ford beating the chevy.......Who Cares? they are both great trucks. I personally like the 6.2 motor the best out of all half tons but it is what it is.....these guys live in the mountains...they aren't going to drive hours away just to test every time they get a N/A vs a Turbo...good grief
Again these tests are completed so high up. The majority of is live much closer to sea level. Tfl is great. But these tests have very different results run at altitude vs sea level. For the majority of us at sea level and looking at making a new purchase you really need to bare that in mind.
Motortrend tested a 2016 Denali that ran 0-60 in 5.8
Tanner Roberts car and driver tested the 2014 model at 5.4
2B1ASK1 i owned a 2012 and it was nasty
They also test eco boost and it was 5.1 secs to 60. Both awesome 👏😎 drivetrains!
Oops 😬 it was CAR & DRIVER that said 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds
Adam Kessler Yea I think Motor Trend got 5.5 with the EB and 5.2 with the Raptor.
No doubt a strong engine though having a full aluminum body helps.
The Vortec 6.2 is a beast in the Camaro and Corvette.
I actually believe this...when you throw turbos on an engine like Ford did, you will almost always win a comparison like this.....however, the verdict is still out on what those engines are going to be like after 150k miles. When you push a V6 engine for every drop of power you can get using tech.....longevity will be lost.
It’s the diff from. 355 vs
A 342 rear gear...❄️👀📺
If you want to give this package real run for its money against a Ford double cab, you can order a double cab SLT with a 6.2 max tow haul package, the max tow haul package, you get 373 gear ratio and you'll burn the tires off the rim.
Then you'll pass everything but a gas station... of course to really put the nail in the coffin get yourself a Diablo programmer turn off AFM and put the 93 octane code in
Anyone have any cold start issues with the Chevy 6.2L?? Me and my siblings bought one for my dad as a birthday gift last year. Has horrible engine knocking sound during cold starts enough that we have complained to Chevy and they are buying it back via lemon law... we asked around all dealerships and they said all 6.2 make that noise! Is this true? My dad is currently looking at a 5.3 Silverado because of this.
Oh man I hope this is not a wide spread problem because it’s the only GM engine I’d consider. It’s powerful, fun and efficient. The other engines are kinda boring. At compared to the ecoboost’s according to tests I’ve watched and read. The 6.2L is Fords closest competition.
I use my 2017 6.2l GMC as a daily driver, and have cold started the engine multiple times in below -40*C winters. I've had zero engine knock, takes an extra second to get up and running, and there is almost no difference in sound and time to start when I plug in the engine block heater when a plug is available. Although the engine seems to sometimes harmonize with the frame of the truck when idling cold or hot. The little extra vibration from time to time is annoying, but acceptable for me personally when considering you have over 400hp under the hood.
😁I’d Really Like to buy a truck like this... then I remember, i live in Brooklyn-NYC; good luck finding a parking spot at night with a big-ass truck😓
I wonder if Chevy is gonna put the 10speed transmission in the silverado
That is the main application for it. It just takes time to roll it out.
Also, the 6.2 is not a car motor, actually not a motor at all, but an engine. The car 6.2 is an LT-1 the truck is an L86. The intake runners have been lengthened to bring the torque rpm lower. There in the horsepower difference in the two ENGINES. just sayin
yes to the 10 speed. In the 2019 w/ the 6.2, it will have the 10 speed
Did the F150 have auto 4WD?
From what I’ve read it’s selectable in lariat, King Ranch, platinum, limited & Raptor trims. But not XLT & XL trims. Only luxury trims...
"Not fair the Ford was painted with a faster color!"
I prefer half a second slower vs 100 000 miles less with Ford turbo.
Lyubomir Noev oooo its going to be more than 100,000
Lots of ecoboost engines w/ well over 200,000 miles now... google and RUclips them w/ pics.
I wonder what would be the 0 to 60 at sea level with this 6.2L Chevy
truckguyjoe ok thank you
guy proulx Another chevy with a 6.2l. lol
tommy hammond??
guy proulx What beats a chevy?.
tommy hammond You misread my original comment
Yeah awd puts trac to the test n cuts power
a 3.0 diesel would be really good on these engines , if only the laws weren't so shitty on DPF egr and other crap...
Ram eat those things up
my buddy has a 6.2 with a tune runs 5.2 too 60 all day even if the ford was faster who cares 6.2 all day had multiple small and a big block chevys with well over 300k miles on them for construction and towing over 8k daily never an engine problem if that day comes for an eco boost ill give it credit but not holding my breath ford could barely put build a good v8
10 gears is just obnoxious, 8 speeds are more than sufficient. I'd hate to see how often that 10 speed breaks down being co-developed between Ford 😂
But the sad fact is Ford still use a dated 6 speed transmission across the board - i say that because it's not a Ford only transmission
Give me a pushrod V8 anyday over an EcoBoost
They have alot of issues as it is, typical though
Can never beat a GM/Chrysler OHV V8
Afterall quad cams (well twin cam heads with 4 valves per cylinder are more outdated than OHV)
Considering Dusenberg had DOHC 4 valve per cyl engines long before OHV came out 😂😂
Im not sure BUT I think the 6.2 is only available in 3.23 gears
Not true. Mine has the towing package and 3.73 gears.
I really wish you guys weren't a mile above sea level.
Ford is just being creative with these smaller V6 engines and that's fine but an aluminum block little V6 isn't durable or bullet proof at all it will never compare to the ford 300 straight 6 or a Chevy 350 in terms of reliability and durability
Many eco’s w/ over 200,000 now on ecoboost forums plus a few vids on RUclips as well. Big thing is maintenance like any engine. All engines have problems if you look. Usually from infrequent maintenance.
8 month ago I was looking for a Chevy or a f-150 with a V8 all the preowned Fords where Ecoboost they had 7. The salesman said I can make you a deal on the Fords. You won't be selling it to me. there all preowned trade ins.
Travis Johnson so whats your point?
+redd7188, I think he's hinting that there's a reason all these pre-owned Fords are available for low prices...
I've seen just the opposite. What I've been seeing is that the Fords are the most expensive used trucks. There are a lot of Fords because they sell a lot of trucks. Even used, none of them are particularly cheap.
Travis Johnson fords r expensive used trust me I've done my research Chevy r cheap. Ecoboost 1 gen t pushing 250 300 k easy with minor issues such as a sensor etc look it up
the only good thing about turbo engines in a drag race is the launch but who gives a damn when ur talking about a truck I would like to see rolling starts like 40 to 80 just an example
I gat 5.2
I would still take the 6.2 LS motor over that Ford turbo crap that is probably going to shit the bed long before 150K miles. If you're buying a pickup truck for it's 0 to 60 time you just don't get it and probably shouldn't be buying a pickup truck.
"silverado SS".........
Keep telling yourself that Fanboy 150. Just don't bother wasting that BS on someone who has actually owned some Fords and knows first hand how shitty they are.
Okay, thanks for your masterful insight Fanboy 150. The internet is indeed blessed to have your pearls of wisdom.
Red Horse unless it's a ram srt10 😎
There are many, many ecoboost engines on RUclips w/ way over 200,000 miles and still running strong 💪. Or google it ecoboost forums w/pics of instrument cluster to prove it... just saying really all the new motors are reliable.
just playing devil adovcate but isnt the most powerful half ton the new raptor with 500hp?
They said most powerful Chevy Truck
thelast son Yeah, but that's a performance model. This Silverado isn't.
+D.J. Wheaton, Agreed. Unfortunately, GM doesn't offer a higher performance model at this time. In theory they could easily offer the 6.2 with a supercharger or a smaller V8 or V6 with a turbo but I don't see that happening. With this model you might be able to get a shorter rear end (4.11?) that would enhance acceleration. I was looking at a 6.2 a couple years back and there were a few rear end options but the truck it self was special order due to CAFE limitations. I believe you can find the 6.2 on dealer lots now.
glsracer Yeah, they should. The Ford Raptor would have a match. The 6.2L(in this model)is quick for what it is.
+D.J. Wheaton, that's for sure. It would be so easy to put the Z06 engine in here. Should be fast as hell. I frankly don't know why GM has been playing it so safe lately...
Gay ford promo video! Silverado is faster everywhere else, except in the Himalayas.
You's need to do the tests at sea level it's not fair.
There 0-60 is ridiculous cause they live up in Colorado. Not worth the watch
wonder how much Ford pays tfl to do B/S reviews like this!! there's plenty of 2017 gm 6.2l 0 to 60 times and they all run under 6s truckGuyjoe ran 5.8s with same truck.
larry Spiller even above sea level there running 6s!! who cares 7s is way off
DURAMAX_DELIGHT when you say even above sea level, do you mean about 5,430 feet about like this 0-60
test them at sea level
I'll take a 3.5 ecoboost any day over a v8 car motor that have re-tuned for a truck. If you buy a truck you want it to tow and the ecoboost is a better motor to tow with period. Peak torque down low and a flat torque curve. Hell with spinning a v8 at 4000 RPMs up a hill when I can lope along at 2500 RPMs in a ecoboost.
Psssst, blowbyu, they use the 3.5 ecoboost in the Taurus and the Explorer. Shhhh, it's a big secret.
blowbyu187 exactly
yeah because it has turbos. take em off and watch that motor go to shit.
StraightPipe Gaming no. Your an idiot
88MS88 look at the race they did with the old raptor with the 6.2l and the new one. the only reason the new one won is because of the turbos and that's a Fact.
Chevy is slow will always be behind the f150
Yep, as usual, the bill is paid .. I think you should quit testing a non-ford vehicles, because it's useless .. Ohh yeah sorry, I forgot it milks the money
It’s pointless watching TFL 0-60 vids because these fools are a mile above sea level lol. Idk why they even waste their time making them.
