2015 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost TFL4K First Drive Review: Mini but Mighty?

[@MDC2020]

I'll be the first to admit I have been the Eco Boosts biggest hater. BUT..after driving a 2018 2.7 Liter FX4 Supercrew I was honestly surprised at how nice and quite the ride was. When the boost kicks in it actually got some chuckles out of me. It Was Good!

[@poppyneese1811]

This is the Video that convinced me the little tiny 2.7 ecoboost in a F150 could get the job done, Nathan who is a drag racer at heart said this lil engine has guts with a sinister laugh, nearly 2 years of owning this truck, not one problem, will fly and gets 20.4 all day long. In my opinion TFL got it right.

[@Mafffffew]

I actually enjoyed the music that was played on this video. Like, it was honestly pretty good

[@PaulsPlace]

I agree. The Fast Lane Truck where do you get your music?

[@ElroyHarvey]

Hi im in England and have just change my car from the 1.6l Petrol Focus to the tiny 3cyl 1.0l Turbocharged EcoBoost engine and i just can't believe how much quicker the 1 Litre Eco compared to the 1.6l feels. Also i love the sound of my new 1 Litre EcoBoost Focus, it just sounds more sporty. Last thing to mention on the Focus is the 6 Speed Manual is just an awesome match to the engine. I absolutely love these EcoBoost engines, lets hope they turn out to be reliable in the long run and last as well as the zetecs.

[@brucetench6557]

first off I want to thank you guys, that was a fun video. Plan on upgrading my old F-150 to this and I watched a ton of videos on this 2.7, plan on going from Florida to Colorado and beyond Towing a 5000 loaded trailer and this looks like the truck for me. Thanks again

[@aday4161]

This truck is a beast and has enough power to get out of control. It surpasses my Dodge V8 in power and performance. And I'm not a Ford man. I was going to buy another Dodge but decided to drive one of these. Slam-dunk. No comparison. The technology is off the chart. I can see all the competition following this very soon. I saw the aluminum bed commercial but figured I'd be using a bed liner anyhow so it was a mute issue. I drove it cross country after purchase 2 mos ago and it was flawless with no issues. Power was great, it hauled lots of weight, and it was quiet and handled well. I have not used it to tow so I cannot comment. Mine came with the tow package including anti-sway, brake adjustment, rear camera and auto backup maneuvering. I would not have opted for the tow stuff as I don't tow often. I couldn't find one with rubber floor that did not have the tow pkg. And I couldn't find one with vinyl seats at all as of April 2017 so I assume the model year production had already ended. This is a very popular truck/engine. Order early in the new model year to get your choice of options.

[@rds990]

I just bought the F150 Supercrew FX4 a few weeks ago. It has the 3.5 eco. I was concerned a bit but LOVE the engine now. PLUS, my dealer gave me a lifetime (1 owner) warranty on engine, drivetrain and turbo, so it's a nice way to go. Nonetheless, I'd be VERY concerned about something this small. The 3.5 is so impressive though, I'd love to check this thing out and see what it can do. That 3.5 is amazing. Also.....my company runs 20+ F150's with ecoboost engines in them. The trucks have over 150,000 miles on them and not a single one has had any serious issues. Not one.

[@jdhunt1284]

Yeah and they can take that warranty away too! Just use an aftermarket oil filter! If it doesn't say ford motor craft you can piss that warranty away. I'm a ford mechanic:)

[@jdhunt1284]

Deterioration of an after market oil filter? That's the biggest line of bull shit I've ever read! So your statement says fram oil filters deteriorate!? So if it's not made by ford it's junk? Am I understanding you? Or is it the way the motors are designed. I've read the bulletin I work for ford! Funny no other manufacture has this issue, and fyi that engine ticking those are lifters bud nothing to worry about.

[@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp]

Actually they can void the warranty if the aftermarket part causes the failure and it does not meet the manufacturers specs. Ford never says that you have to use ford filters, just filters that are up to spec. Low Grade Oil Filters can cause Engine Damage, you better make sure you use a High Grade Oil Filter so that doesn't happen. What's inside the Can you Screw on the Oil Filter Adapter varies so you better know what's inside first.

[@jessehernandez5043]

First off, im a loyal chevy guy. Had some bad experiences in the past with Ford which drove me away from them but i have to say that i think they made a great move with those ecoboost engines (even though there isnt anything eco about their 3.5). Got to tow my buddies bass boat with it (nothing heavy, maybe 3-4k) and the torque down low from the turbos is great. Very responsive. I think that their 2.7 is the big winner though. Gonna get solid mpg's and is plenty for most light duty guys who dont tow that much or all the time. Good work Ford, didnt turn me away from Chevy but i did double take lol.

[@FrequencyOfThought]

+northlander I've been a GM guy for life but since these idiots didn't put the real v8 ( 6.2 ecotec3 ) in their trucks I got a tuner truck, think about that the 6.2 di ecotec v8 comes in like 2 packages High Country and 1 gmc model unless it was ordered that way they are scarce. I already have a 640 hp 4 cyl turbo that I built. Turbo's don't scare me as long as they are used in their application and it's not exceeded. It's when you tune, and start to modify shit when things start to get interesting. Oil and water cooled ball bearing turbos are reliable. Just like in the turbo diesel trucking industry. Ford sells the 3.5 to fleets for a reason. Couple bigger snails this 3.5 will do 500 HP and with my new 2015 It's for sure a thrill ride. I love the feeling of the boost coming from a boosted car its like a fucking GTR of pickups . I don't haul a a lot trailer wise, to me this truck is bad ass and I am a die hard chevy person.

Miguel Gonzalez They don't sell? Then why is RAM increasing them from 10 to 20% of 1500 production? Ram has also requested VM Motori to ramp up production. A quick google and you'll see that the ecodiesel exceeded Ram's expectation and they can't keep them on the lots. You're either lying about being a Ram salesman, or you're a terrible seller.

[@SwPiotrek]

Great video! Great truck. I hope it won't rust.

[@desertfox2020]

It's aluminum...it can't rust

[@GriffXJ]

desertfox2020 Define "rust", aluminum has an oxidation layer on top of it that prevents further corrosion. Also, oxidation=rust , so technically everything from aluminum cans to CPU heat sinks have a layer of oxidation on them. Go scratch the top of a soda can, on the rim, and see how shiny it is, leave it sit for a while (couple hours/days) and check it again, the freshly scratched areas won't be as shiny any more because they developed a new layer of oxidation. Well, that's my fun fact for the day :D

[@jamesmoir7709]

It's rust resistant, but aluminum is light and rust resistant but it's very pliable. So I haven't heard about anyone in an accident in one but I'm assuming that the aluminum body will crunch like a tin can making it a weak truck. Trucks should be like tanks not safety boxes with crumple zones.

[@noblekitty]

Jimmy M How do you know the aluminum alloys they used in the F150 is the same grade as your tin can? There are currently 8 series of aluminum alloys. And in each, there are sub-grades. Aluminum alloys usually have more stiffness vs steel of the same thickness.

[@jamesmoir7709]

SB N Steel has been proven to be reliable and tough not as rust resistant though yes. Again no one will know how reliable or tough these aluminum bodies are until someone gets into a wreck with one of these trucks. Until then no one really knows if its any good or not.

[@themechanic345]

THIS is the EcoBoost that they should have put in the Mustang lol

[@ShadowFalcon]

Too heavy.

[@406Steven]

With the Mustang they have to satisfy the older generations that believe in a more traditional car while still trying to bring some modern technology to the battlefield. Ford wants the V8 car to be the top dog, period. That is what Mustang has always been about and when they tried 20 years ago to revolutionize the Mustang they found out how much people like the car they are already building--que the birth of the Mercury Cougar rather than the new Mustang. Talk as much smack as you want about the Mustang but they are built to meet customer demand.

[@DoomsdayMelody91]

SilverRaven1959 I like ford but what you say is also my biggest complaint about them. They refuse to change something that has better potential when they have the resources and the means, because they are worried about losing their heritage. Stupid really, same reason we won't see an AWD Focus RS here in the states, because it would give the mustang a run for its money and would likely be a better sports car. I just wish Ford would stop being stuck in the past

[@rdallas81]

MrFalconfly that's what I said!!! not worth the extra 400 cc's!

What bugged me with the 2015, was the interior. The F150 interior was WAY behind Chevy and Dodge's trucks. Too many plastics and fake wood trim. But I guess that's how they managed to use aluminum and lower the price. EDIT: it has a $51,000 sticker price, so I expected a higher quality interior. 51K is a lot to pay for fake wood trim and padded rubber dash.

[@Mohammadkwt]

plastic & fake wood ? ok i own a 2004 lariat f-150 ( with wood interior ) took it to off-road , towed & payloaded with it & mistakenly slammed couple speed bumps not even hearing crack loud sound unlike my friend one cab chevy 1500 Z71 don't wanna be in it when go off-road crack sounds coming everywhere even my another friend owns cab & half 2500 Z71 HD & that truck have PLASTIC bumpers while it's LT not LTZ model he has FOX air suspensions on too but funny thing is on road he better not any cracks or come cross speed bumps in the street otherwise loud sounds gonna come out from everywhere ( he doesn't even take it off-road too much like 3 or 5 times in a year ) besides all of them use plastic & we did knocks on them from outside to inside & we found ford & dodge trucks interior have thicker plastic while chevy had lighter plastic but somehow we found out even cab & half trucks can lose their parts faster then one cab & double cab trucks .

Awesome review vid! Subbed

[@erickeith1466]

There's no one truck that will satisfy everyone. If you haul, buy a truck designed to haul. There are plenty of diesel and V8 options still available. No one is forcing anyone to buy a smaller engine, it's just an "option". Regarding this, the smaller engine option Ford is offering is to satisfy folks who use trucks as daily drivers but don't tow all the time. And there are plenty of them around...see dozens of these just around my neighborhood. I work in the oil patch and sometimes haul dirty equipment that does not belong in the trunk of a car. I tried it for a few years...and it sucks. Every now and then I get a scoop of top soil or gravel for yard projects. I chose the 3.5 liter ecoboost as sometimes haul a work trailer from sea level to 5000 feet. The 3.5 liter pulls the trailer easily. If not for the trailer, then I would be ok with the 2.7 liter. As far as looks, to each his own. I think Ford and Dodge make the best looking truck now, inside and out. However, I used to be a die hard Chevy fan but got bored and decided to try something new. Opinions are like belly buttons, we all have them.

[@Titantramp4u]

Interesting new engine.....Very impressed with the torque figures as "torque moves metal". I'm also a big Ford fan, but this truck is ugly to me....but that of course is entirely subjective and has no bearing on how well this truck in engineered or built. As a mechanic/supervisor of a fleet of close to 3,000 Ford Crown Vics, it would be curious to see what the cost to replace parts on both Eco boost engines will be down the road when they are out of warranty. Thanks TFL guys for the vid...

[@JsGarage]

What do you mean finally caught up to GM and RAM on interior TFL? It wasn't until 2013 that RAM was even a real contender. Chevy oh please 2014 put them on part with current f150 at best. F150 was way better for awhile and here they are taking crown again.

[@5RWill]

I don't understand the disparity in the truck market between different companies. I mean personally i've never been a ford fan, but have nothing against them. I've always preferred the ride of my GMs. That is just my experience, as is our luck with fords vs GM. We've had worse luck with fords. If i were to own one or want one, it would be an F-250 or a Raptor. Two rapidly different trucks but it's my favorite looking fords. I love our F-250s aesthetics. I hate it's ride, which i could deal with but we've had lots of mechanical problems out of it as well. I think we just got a lemon. Do i like that GM is owned by the gov't, no hell no absolutely not. I still like their trucks though. When looking for a new truck though i don't honestly go to a dealership with a closed mind that i'm not going to look at anything but GM. Toyota makes a good truck as well. My point is like what you like, be passionate about it, but don't knock all the other brands just because you don't like em. To act as if either company has never had problems or recalls is ludicrous. Technology wise, ford is ahead of GM bar none at least in terms of delivering power/torque while saving MPG. GM is kind of stuck in the past, i don't mind it but i hope to see them make some advancements. Cylinder deactivation isn't bad, while you can drive to get the numbers they're posting, you really have to play that MPG game. If you drive like a normal person your looking at 13-15 city, 16-19 highway, in stock configuration. Put tires, level, tune, and a CAI you might can counter the weight of the tires with some more power and manage 15-17 highway in flat lands.

Thanks. Any recommendations? This will be mainly his but I will use it too. I used to have a 1993 f150 and had to ditch it with all my kids. I now drive a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL. Please give recommendations. Thank you.

Tundra trd pro. As long as you're not stingy on gas mileage lol

[@sinistergates6630]

This is perfect for a daily driver, with the occasional lighter trailer, or work, which seems like half the truck drivers out there.

[@R3putaytion13]

November! I cant wait that long for MPG rating... OH LAWD WHYYYYY

[@DucatiPaso750]

It is also supposed to have auto start/stop.

[@gwheel3502]

If Nathan is 6'1", then how tall exactly is Roman??

[@TheSakul08]

Ram made the right choice on making a smaller diesel rather that a turbo 4 banger that runs on premium gas. Chevy also had a smaller diesel made for the silverado 1500 back in 08/09 but then they went bankrupt. I cant wait too see the ecoboosts turbos start going lol

[@Rod-vj6dd]

Cant wait for the ike guantlet

[@virenvs905]

They're Japanesing their trucks big time

[@gvc56100]

good review but not complete until you guys starting towing and comparing numbers.

[@sircooper1963]

Could this 2.7L package be tested with a slightly larger tire package. The kind of tire package which would make the truck look more aggressive without jacking it up. I'd like to see to see the drag, larger tires & wheels, would create on the overall performance of the unit.

[@jardog16981]

The ram also uses cylinder deactivation on its 5.7 Hemi

[@trickmytruck32]

did ford use aluminum on the 2014 f150 to like for instance the tailgate it feels lighter then other f150

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Its kinda funny, with our 2012 f350 fully loaded hunk of diesel, we average 18 mpg. We are not granny drivers either, with 800+ torque and 400+ hp the truck does great. This quick little v6 in a full size truck gets roughly the same mpg. You would expect this to get in the mid to high 20s and the Silverado being able to shut down injectors can get 35mph highway, so fords economist needs to step up there a game and use some of Chevys ideas with shutting down injectors or cylinders to get in the mid 30s, seriously come on ford ecos...you can do better

[@ramondrodinblat3113]

Its a soccer mom truck. Its good to go to the store and over to get your nails done but thats about it. When the Ranger was discontinued Ford needed something that beat the crappy pay load and fuel economy of the Ranger, yes I know the Ranger was a mid size. Dodge has done the same thing, almost. This 150 isn't a working man's truck unless you're a foreman or maybe light service truck. Just like all of the major truck manufactures they have a "full size" that is designed for economy, transportation and picking up some flower flats. My woman has a 2014 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L and if she keeps it under 60 she gets 25MPG, "I did the math" it launches nicely when asked to she doesn't have to rely on a turbo and that truck is a nice light weight truck. We own a few small businesses and a small farm and her truck does exactly what we ask of it as long as we don't ask too much. I have a Ram 3500 SRW with the BIG C and that is our hauler. It gets 18-20MPG with a light load and about 15MPG loaded up and running. I have had some bad experiences with Ford trucks and will never own another unless its a 7.3 Power Stroke. I have a few customers that have eco boosts and some of them have had to have the valve banks replaced because of carbon build up in the back side of the valve banks and from what I have been told is you cant do a "motor vac" cleaning the banks have to be replaced. All in all it looks nice "Toyota Tundra" it sounds like a gay mans fart and its built by a company that supported Hitler, look it up if you don't believe it so I will keep on buying Ram's for now.

[@fletchschubert5044]

What about the auto start / stop tech? Would like to know if it has the same problems of quick acceleration like the chevy does with its cylinder deactivation.

[@mcatlow8]

Well all I can say is I'm impressed with the cool new features of this truck especially with the use of aluminum but the styling is not my thing. I bought a Ram because I thought the last f150 wasn't much off a head turner. I'm a major Ford guy but I want something good looking.

[@blood117]

V8s are not going extinct, no need. What people forget is that the 3.5L Ecoboost is turbocharged and the 5.0L is not. V8s can been efficient, just got to make them smaller and slap turbos on them(which apparently is the trend)

[@j_thom]

I'm finding the ecoboost engines in the real world dont save mileage, mine is a testament to it. I went from a 3.6-liter normally aspirated V-6 to a 2.0 ecoboost.. unless nursed like the ultimate tree-hugger with shift point all below the 2800rpm range, which admittedly tootles you along okay for generic grocery type go getting, but if you dig into the meat of the power band I'm getting 22.6 or so MPG.. I was getting that on my prior Passat with the V6. Mostly suburban-type driving, say 65% in town and 35% highway.. I hear similar stories from other ecoboost owners, like the engines okay..still sorta new and seem robust and reliable so far but so far the truth of everyday use and ownership isnt saving anything at the pump if you came from something modestly bigger and normally aspirated.

[@SS8styles]

This, or a ram 1500 ecodiesel for hauling an 8,000 lb boat & trailer up 10,000 feet elevation? Our 2004 Yukon XL Denali has handled everything we threw at it, but better fuel economy would be nice

[@hanzhenry5818]

please ford ---> :) make a 5.0 v8 ecoboost..

[@jaskdavis]

Can you imagine... a Twin Turbo 5.0... O.O

[@sahiel5]

Jason Davis ther will be tt 5.2 in new stang can u imagine?

[@masterofThardus]

Would be best if they did what the TFLT guys suggested: combine technology. 5.0 V8 Turbo Ecodiesel with cylinder deactivation and an 8-speed transmission.

[@twincam103]

masterofThardus nahhh 9 speeds are better, love Chrysler

[@jaskdavis]

9 speed! O.O what da hell has that in it?

[@Clearanceman2]

I would never buy a dual turbo anything, but I keep my vehicles hundreds of thousands of miles and I don't feel like paying all the extra expense. Rather have a regular V8. In the real world, mileage is very similar between the 3.5 liter ecoboost and the V8.

[@chrismitchell3116]

Awesome hat

[@tritchie6272]

While I do like the size of the cab I ain't to sure about all that aluminum and such a small motor! I like the idea that it seems like a regular size bed and not real short though. As for motor maybe turbo charge a 4 litter motor as a compromise. Maybe I'm paranoid but if the turbo's go out at a bad time that's an all full small motor.

[@davethejourneyofinspiratio6437]

the Atlas truck was way better then the new one they have made I was counting on the Atlas to be my truck it was badass

[@robgodfrey699]

I enjoy the comments about the Ford needing to catch up the Chevy and Dodge. The F150 easily outsells them year after year. Is there any more proof needed than to simply look at which sells the most?

[@SticksUWP]

Wait, I'm not sure I caught that... Was this the one with the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine in it??

[@jmasoncars4452]

Hey Ford, lets put that engine in the oven with a fusion and bake a fusion ST!

[@jensenbud88]

Light weight truck and towing? Those two things don't go together. The tow rating on this truck is probably 8 to 9000 pounds, keep in mind this is a full size. Most mid sized trucks are rated for 7 to 8000. This truck is a way more expensive mid size truck that wants to be a full size.

[@TVfanfanatic]

I wonder how those new Aluminum bodies/beds will hold up over time?
