2015 Ford F-150 2.7L vs 3.5L Ike Gauntlet Tow-Off Review: Which Truck to Buy?

[@adrianamezcua5679]

I just bought a 2.7l ecoboost, you guys helped me the whole way. Love the truck, it does not feel like a small v6 is under the hood and it got 21mpg coming from phx to la with 5 people in it. For anyone that's still curious, test drive one, it'll surprise you. Thanks again and love your channel

[@timparker8297]

Adrian Amezcua Just got me one used with 50k still like new. Love this truck!!!!!!

[@LuisMartinez-ft9or]

Tim Parker I have a 2018 and use it to tow and 5500lb travel trailer. It goes up steep hills like a champ. I can easily hit 80 mph going up the grapevine in CA. Around town with no trailer I get 22 mpg. Towing on flat ground I avg 12-14 mpg.

[@poppyneese1811]

Guys coming up in my 45k oil change on my 2.7 EB, nearly 3 years ownership and thank the Lord not a single problem, love the truck and the engine, ain’t nothing like a full size truck, never once missed my old Tacomas.

[@anthonycardona3141]

Just purchased 2015 2.7 with 70000 mi absolutely love the truck what a difference compared to old steel panel f150 with triton v8

[@sbenn6917]

@@LuisMartinez-ft9or I have the same truck. I got a custom tow tune for it and it now pulls like a diesel. Great engine.

[@steveodlgc8329]

You make it sound like the 3.5L is going to cost $15000 more than the 2.7L, you're comparing two different trucks. The 3.5L will only run an extra $1200 over the 2.7L.

[@L8Brakers]

Yes this! The options are the difference in price not the engines.

[@xeratube]

+zar qume Not sure what you're saying here, but nope.

[@matthewd6306]

+Steve O'Donnell Its simple. If you tow often and heavy equipment, the 3.5l is the way to go. If your not going to tow often and stay below 7k lbs the 2.7l is the way to go. the fuel savings is nice.

[@rogerguffey9106]

Love my 2.7....drove the 5.0, 3.5 eco and chose the 2.7 eco. The throttle response is what sold me.

[@BetaRacer24]

Did they have the same gearing?

[@swampgumpharpy7977]

I would've never even considered the 2.7 EB until I watched this. After seeing this, I test drove the f150 with the 2.7, loved it and bought it. Now, I'm towing every day with this truck, and couldn't be happier.

[@hunkleberrymilldewbeespark3851]

Is it just me or was the 2.7 consistently sitting at lower RPM?

[@MiguelPerez-nk2wu]

You should take the f150 off-road to where the jeep and raptor went that would be badass since it has the FX4 package!

[@TFLtruck]

Hmm... Nice idea...

[@DoomsdayMelody91]

Forget the F150, swap a 2.7 Ecoboost into that gorgeous bronco

[@dukinygaming259]

Ecoboosts are junk

[@DoomsdayMelody91]

[@dukinygaming259]

+DoomsdayMelody91 well it's true

[@ozzstars_cars]

Spending $61K for a pickup truck is nuts.

[@DJKiDDKlashez]

I agree, Inflation sucks.

[@Mohammadkwt]

Ozzstar get a lower priced model like XL or XLT with FX4 off-road package for best value

[@xMuShAdDx]

Ozzstar I agree. Anyone who pays MSRP on a truck is nuts.

[@jaytrock3217]

Ozzstar Not if you are buying a heavy duty truck that holds it value. Yes, on this one you are crazy. Be worth about 30k in two years.

[@DJKiDDKlashez]

Only business people buy MSRP for tax write offs. 61k? thats just insane, imagine the new model SuperDuty's.

[@ryanbean2209]

When will we see the Towing MPG test on the 2.7 Ecoboost truck??

[@sethbell5575]

I think the 2.7 is underrated on power it’s very fast

[@northerntimberoutdoors9319]

If the 3.5 had a 3.55 or 3.73 rear end it would of felt way different that being said I am really impressed with the 2.7, that thing is quick. I also love the 5 liter coyote but these guys that are saying bad about the EB engines and praising the 5.0 would be really shocked if they seen that V8 attempting to keep up with the EB V6s.

[@SlammedZero]

I test drove the 2.7 today. Wow! I was blown away. Very impressed with that motor. It gets up and moves.

[@MrChevypower]

2.7 is made from compacted graphite iron (not aluminum)

[@trevorlahey1956]

They were talking about the body, but ok guy

[@jonathanroberson122]

It'd be interesting to see a comparison of both Ecoboost V6s and the 5.0, all with the same trim package, drive train and rear end, and all either ext. cab or 4 door. That way the only difference between the 3 would be the engine

[@josephkool8411]

The 2.7 is just better. Ford didn't expect it it to be so much better if at all, but 2.7 team was on the ball and Fords 3.5 engine teams got it's ass kicked

[@LR-us1go]

It's surprising to see how the 3.5 changed gear more than the 2.7 to keep pace !

[@raymondlent3517]

I just bought a used 2015 F-150 lariat with the 3.5L Ecoboost. Upgrading from the 2.3L Ecoboost in my 2017 Explorer; holy crap this thing wants to fly. Highway mileage in my first 275 miles has been 19mpg and climbing (has some long idles and city darting). It has 67000 miles currently and we’re going to use it for pulling around a couple of horses in the future. Definitely glad I got it, and we’re enjoying a much smoother and nicer ride. I would have been just as happy if it had the 2.7L, but the 3.5L is just awesome.

[@moose5.9]

61k. gtfo, I'd buy a diesel for that

[@sly9263]

If you tow all the time, might make some sense. Otherwise, the cost of diesel compared to 87 octane on top of the repairs makes it hardly justifiable. Diesel is more expensive now and the vast majority of people out there have no need for it.

[@moose5.9]

+Robert Kavanagh you do know that the ecoboost is an extremely complex motor that has high repair costs right? and let's just say it's not the most reliable engine out there

[@sly9263]

Chris Pastuf Quoting a few horror stories for early iterations of an engine/tranny/younameit is all people do on the internet. I can sit here and go down a list of issues I've had with smallblock v8s from various manufacturers, but the overwhelming majority of people with said engines are having no issues.

[@moose5.9]

Robert Kavanagh diesel here is within pennies of gas, plus I get better mileage with my 2500 5.9 than any gas motor truck out there. Don't the ecoboosts need at least 89? Jw

[@sly9263]

Chris Pastuf Ecos take 87, but in eastern PA I see diesel anywhere from 40-70 cents more per gallon

[@hunterroutten123]

Good review! Probably going to opt with the 2.7l.

[@jasonx4008]

only 8 short years ago when i bought my brand new loaded out crew cab silverado, the sticker price was $38000. wtf happened? 61000??!!! have they lost their damn minds. this is a half ton truck people. sure its nice, but it damn well better be. ill stick to my 07.

[@JohnSmith-kr5kk]

Well this truck has more than any truck 8yrs ago. Anyways fir the lower trims they have gone along with inflation but have so many more standard features

[@helivesonforever]

+Jordan “CAN-DOG” Miller It shouldn't matter. A standard work truck should be made like they used to make them in the 90's. Crank windows, 20 gallon gas tank, no ac, the list goes on. A base model truck shouldn't cost more than my fully loaded truck did in 1995. If you actually look at a fully loaded truck from 08, and look at the 15 F-150, there isn't much difference really. Certainly not 23 grand worth of difference.

[@jasonx4008]

i agree they have way more options, and all these new trucks are like land yachts, but i just dont think a half ton truck should be $50k+. its not practical

[@helivesonforever]

Jason X If people quit buying them, the manufacturers would get the hint. I don't see that happening though.

[@JohnSmith-kr5kk]

+***Classified*** Thing is, u never pay MSRP on a new truck nowadays. I got my 2013 F150 Crew Can Ecoboost with a sticker of 45k for $32,500. If your buying a new truck you should be getting at least $8,000 off. The 2015 F-150 top of the line Platinum is marked down to $52,000 at most dealers. If you compare a 2000 f-150 to a 2015 f-150 with an inflation calculator they are on par with each other price wise. There are definitely more expensive trims but thats what some people want.

[@rickyjulian2499]

Roman, you and Mr Truck did a great job on that video

[@TFLtruck]

Thanks for the kind words

[@Limited-uq2yk]

Both Engines are so good nice video keep the good work

[@raykrv6a]

61k for a F150? No way, plus i would rather have a less stressed engine like the 5.0. It's bad enough when the truck is in the shop under warranty, but way worse when the truck is out of warranty and you are replacing turbos. The other issue is I would rather have a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup for towing. If you are going to spend 61k on a truck, get a HD truck.

[@DJKiDDKlashez]

You honestly have a point, 61k that's just insane. Rather have the 3/4 ton.

[@bucksshots3109]

Mine was 57K

[@DJKiDDKlashez]

Levi Baptiste Wow! for that much, would expect absolutely no problems in terms of reliability. Cant even imagine how much the new model super duty's are going cost...

[@raykrv6a]

You can get a top of the line F450 for 76k that will haul just about anything.

[@bucksshots3109]

raykrv6a I dont need a F450 to just haul arcs and dead deer lol

[@MatthewSerta1]

I have a 3.5 Twin turbo, Never drove the 2.7. I love the 3.5, im happy with it.

[@TheOutty500]

$61K for a 3.5L F-150?? HOLY SHIT.

[@beunbad]

+TheOutty500 Pretty much eliminates this truck as a new purchase.I would rather hunt around for a used rig and save ,self the depreciation driving a new one off the lot.

[@trevorc5477]

Don't forget 12k of factory rebates tho

[@xMarkuzx]

I get around 19.2 mpg city driving on my 2.7L sport 4x4, love it!

[@cowboys402005]

Love the videos! Only problem I had was y'all based yalls choice on price in the when really the price difference of getting the 2.7 over the 3.5 isn't nearly that much. Y'all had different trim lvls

[@daniellockwood291]

you need to tow up a mountian with the 5.0 v8

[@c-grunt6853]

Daniel Lockwood I agree. I know the EcoBoosts are impressive motors but no one is testing the 5.0. If I buy a new F150 it will be the 5.0 over the 3.5/2.7 just for the exhaust not alone.

[@hackfreehvac]

+C-grunt The non turbo 5.0 will loose 20% of it's power at elevation. Plus the turbo engine makes it's FULL TORQUE from 2,000- to near redline. The 3.5 TT will probably outpull the 5.0 pretty easy. It already out pulled the bigger Chevy and Nissan V8's. Especially on this high altitude mountain grade.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

+Daniel Lockwood not in high country where they tested at (Colorado). we're talking base elevation of 5k in the plains to 11k at the tunnel. Density altitude ranges from 7k to 14k depending on the weather. That's a 25-35% drop in power. Hence why they created those things called "atmospheric compensators" to reduce the effect of elevation. AKA turbochargers.

[@tbone0785]

+Daniel Lockwood I can tell you from first hand experience that the 3.5 EcoBoost blows the 5.0 out of the water. I like the V8 exhaust note too but I could live without it if I had to.

[@daniellockwood291]

its still nice to see how all the engines compare though.

[@wade3629]

you push a small engine hard they'll never do 150K miles watch ford eat these words after everybody has paid $$$ lol to late then ford is great at propaganda

[@dansouthcomb5439]

I have a 2013 F150 3.5 ecoboost with the max tow pckg. (3.73) rear end. I pulled my 7000 lb. travel trailer 1350 miles. Never an issue with power, but I only got 6.9 mpg for the trip running between 65-70 mph.

[@pearlex86]

This is the exact mileage we got on a trip from pa to sd with 7000lb box trailer funny how it is;) 3.55 xlt extended cab

[@billybeemus3929]

I have a 2018 F150 3.5 EcoBoost with the 3.55 gears. Towing my 31' camper in the Colorado mountains I average 10 mpg. That is averaging around 65 mph.

[@ace00007]

I think your comparison is horrible at the end. The engine is just an option available with both the XLTs and the higher end models like the Lariat, KR, etc. I happen to have a Lariat with the 3.5 EB but could have just as easily gotten it with the 2.7 but since I also often drive in the Colorado mountains I wanted the cushion of the extra power. I also went with the Max tow package which has the 3.55 axle ratio so again you comparing these two trucks with different axle ratios really messes up your test results. I know you can only test what you are provided but I think your results are skewed because of the differences. I personally love the power of my truck and I probably would still love it if I had gotten the 2.7.

[@jaybird-oi1te]

i got the 3.5 and i love it would not change my mine.

[@Icutmetal]

Where’s your mine?

[@Darkmorningsun]

i wish they put the 2.7L in their 'stangs

[@dukinygaming259]

That's messed up

[@jacelysinger6206]

They have the 2.3L, I have a 2011 GT and the new 2.3L v4 is ALMOST as fast as my gt in the1/4 mile, makes me wanna cry 😭

[@devn3813]

+Jace Lysinger that's because its turbocharged. You have a natural engine that's faster and sounds better. Be glad you don't have the ecodump

[@Darkmorningsun]

how is that messed up. i think it would be great. its better than a 2.3 i4 engine. And a twin turbo that can make 325 hp and 350 torque would be pretty good. And with a tune and CAI that thing will easily be 350+ hp and well over 450 ft/lb.

[@rdmccun]

great job guys, best car / truck reviews on YT!

[@TFLtruck]

Thanks!

[@JK-ug7rm]

for my money I need an apples to apples engine review. the axle ratio difference cant answer the opening question

[@oisiaa]

Roman, can we see a MAXED out run? I love listening to these engines sing for 10 minutes at wide open throttle. I'd rather they go 50mph and roar than cruise at 70.

[@rudolphna54]

Can you guys go back and do a "retro" ike gauntlet of a ford ranger with the 4.0 SOHC?

[@slomotrainwreck]

Splitting the screen up like you did really adds a lot to this type of video, it's all about conveying info to the viewer. Good job and well done!

[@theCANaDiAN1987]

Obviously the KING RANCH is going to be way more expensive, it's misleading the way you act like a 3.5 is $15,000 more than a 2.7. I think the real world price difference is like $1200 between the two, when similarly equipped.

[@dauntless_s0ul24]

Ford 😀 is the best

[@garyderksen8930]

Ford rules the world!

[@Treyk901]

I've read too many articles stating how the 2.7 is a faster truck compared to the 3.5 and same was said in this video but at least you brought up the difference with the axle ratios. It's almost like Ford paid people to advertise the 2.7 as a better, faster option even though real side by side 0-60 times prove otherwise. I'm in a rental with a 2.7 and it does 0-60 in 6.45 seconds, pretty fast! But my 2015 with the 3.5 does it in under 6 seconds with a 3.55 rear axle. All the articles out there are simply misleading!

[@TorreyWhitaker]

OMG there's so many details missing here. Puhlease put some details into these reviews.

[@gold1670]

This is so dumb! The 3.5L is a loaded King Ranch. That's the big difference in the money, not the engines. The difference in two identical trucks with the different engines would be about $2,000.

[@ColdSmokes]

Some still may think or assume that the 2.7 is just too small. Just drive one. Has the get up and go of a big block but gets 25mpg on highway (quite easily) w 10 speed and 21mpg round town. Better that the ratings.

[@f-1shiddy]

It's funny to rewatch these as I'm looking for a replacement for my current F-150. They're talking about how the 3.5 is $61,000. Now that truck is even more sadly. These Ecoboost's are impervious.

[@JoshX9]

The 3.5 almost tried to overheat that surprises me but the 2.7 stay perfect temp. Also there was a point there where the 3.5 was on and off boost at full throttle might be something wrong with it

[@benjamingriffith4183]

Yea its a Ford...

[@discoveraudio6593]

Doesn’t surprise me..... the 2.7 will break soon.....

[@MarcMonson]

load up the 3.5 with the highest weight the 6.2 1500 can handle (and run them both)

[@hackfreehvac]

+Marc Monson They already loaded them THE SAME WEIGHT and the 6.2 was SLOWER. You think adding another 500 or 1000 lbs will change that? The nice thing about these real world tests is that you get to see the benefits of the turbo engine when climbing high altitude. The Chevy lost a good 30% or so of it's power. The Ford was likely close to the max power since the turbos can just spool a little faster in the less dense air and the computer will still regulate it at approx the same PSI of boost.

[@MarcMonson]

I'm on fords side here..both trucks can handle 12k but these were only loaded up to about 8k IIRC

[@hackfreehvac]

Marc Monson I did tow a 7700 Lb 20 foot toy hauler with my 4.7 Liter Dodge Dakota 4 door 4X4 about 10 years ago. That was over it's rating for sure. But I did install 4.56 gears, Firestone Air Bags and a few other cool things so it was not stock by any means. It did ok but on the last grade getting up to Flagstaff it dropped to 45 mph and needed 2nd gear.

[@alexbaker910]

The summary is misleading and ridiculous. The retail price difference according to the Ford build and price tool is ~$1200 more for the 3.5 ecoboost vs. the 2.7 ecoboost. The engine option has little to do with the $47K vs. $61K pricing of the two test trucks as the video suggests. Come on guys, keep it real. bp3.ford.com/2015-Ford-F-150?branding=1&lang=en#/ChooseYourPath/

[@geraldolson3598]

So comparing the 2.7 and the 3.5 in completely different trucks? How does this make any sense?? This video is a complete waste of time, you guys use to make really good videos but this one falls short.

The 2.7 ecoboost is by far my favorite Ford engine right now. And thats while me owning a 2021 5.0l Mustang GT.

[@Tusuperbis]

The prices on these new trucks are ridiculous! Nobody I know where I live and work have new trucks. Nobody can afford them! Every car lot in town has a bunch of them for sale and they just keep dealer trading them lol

[@tombrennan6312]

Roman's price comparison made no sense as the two trucks were so differently equipped; it was more of a price comparison of a King Ranch crew cab to a simpler model extended cab than a price comparison of a 3.5 to a 2.7. And the big gas tank, not the small one, is the option.

[@showcivicred]

I just got my 2017 f150 xl 2.7 ecoboost today after watching many tow videos of this engine. I have had 3 silverados(well one 2500 sierra) and the torque and hp numbers of these ford motors were impressing me, and the videos impressed me in that they were not being doggy when pulling. I travel doing welding and pull an 18 foot camper. Was doing it with my Silverado 4.3 stick shift, and it pulled it fine, i would just get 16 mpg when not pulling. After driving the 2.7 i was impressed to the point I ended up purchasing it. Also got $4050 in rebates from ford so got a very good deal. Thank you guys for your work. You made me feel a lot better about my purchase decision as well as help me make it with your tow videos. (I even drove an ecodiesel which was VERY nice, i just didnt want to pay the price they wanted)

[@jaytrock3217]

Great review. Thanks you guys. I just that 3.5 Ford is overpriced for the actually value. Come back to me in a few years and I am curious what the resale is.

[@jamesreilly9681]

the best deal on these new f150s is to go for the xl with the sport appearance package. You can get the 2.7 ecoboost with 3.73 gears and all the goods for far cheaper than the "upscale models"

[@1980m-r7w]

That was awesome, and thoughtful, I bet you helped for many people to make a decision

[@TFLtruck]

We hope we can help make the purchase decision.

[@Inspector694]

I agree with the older gentleman.. super duty for sure.

[@poolchamp8]

I love these videos, but a nice print out screen showing the various weights used, weight capacities, power/torque, rated MPG, guantlet MPG, etc at the end would be very nice. AND, put in some performance comparison numbers in a second table showing how it stacks up to the competition you have tested.

[@davidhoover2446]

I'd like to thank you for the great job you do. Videos like this helped me be confident in the decision to purchase an F150 with the 2.7L Ecoboost. Plus, I just enjoy and respect your hard work bringing us great videos.

[@neilcarter77]

Hello from the future-are you excited for the 3.0 ecoboost!?

[@brianfisher2446]

the 3.5 price is more about trim than engine. King Ranch doesn't come cheap.

[@damaliamarsi2006]

I wouldn't pay more than 27 for the 3.5 and 25 for the 2.7. I think Ford is smoking crack on the prices.

[@lkcampbell9795]

I really think that you guys need to tell your viewers that the Ford EcoBoost engines are NOT Flex Fuel Capable. That might be important to some people. Personally, I am against the whole thing of forcing people to use ethanol. We were all told that it would be cheaper and I have not seen that at all. And it decreases your gas mileage. Just like those stupid 20 and 22 inch rims that marketing departments are putting on the newest trucks and SUV's.

[@JohnSmith-kr5kk]

Ethanol fucks up the turbos

[@dierpap]

When comparing similar packages, e.g. Lariat, the costs are similar.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

So a bargain basement, base model, short bed, 2wd, 2.7l ecoboost with a 3.55 axle ratio and no payload should haul ass then right? Gonna go look at one tomorrow. :D

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Photo314159 did you buy it? If so how is it?

[@mmateri]

The 3.5 won for sure, if you ignore the commentary you will see that the 3.5 was down to 50mph alot of times, where the 2.7 wasn't.

[@beunbad]

+mmateri Would results be the same if they had the same axle ratios?

[@benjamingriffith4183]

How lame ford has to pump engine noise through the speakers to make it sound like a chevy or ram.... lol

[@benjamingriffith4183]

So why is Ford doing it (making v8 noises from speakers)? Also there smartness if you knew so much about cars / trucks then you would know it is a fact that turbos put more stress on the entire motor thus decreasing the life of the engine. Excluding diesels since they are not aluminum and designed to handle to pressures. In fact those wonderful Eco Boosts you seem to love have excessive carbon build up and you can't clean it. If you put ANY cleaner in it it will void warranty. Because it damages / destroys the expensive turbo. Ford's solution is to replace the heads. Since I'm sure you have no clue what that is that basically means rebuilding the top end of the engine every 75k to 100k. Yea great truck! (Sarcasm)

[@FrequencyOfThought]

Benjamin Griffith Boost pressure in cylinders can damage ring lands if they are being over boosted in this case a few pounds isn't really that much more stress, The engines have this miracle thing called direct injection say that with me DIRECT INJECTION and OIL SQUIRTERS which act as a method of cooling because HEAT=DEATH not boost pressure. An engine is exploding air mixed with fuel and you're telling me just by shoving a few pounds of air in the intake doesn't make it more efficient ? Turbos aren't a new technology, with water and oil coiled turbos that also reduces heat. I think you're behind the times skipper

[@sly9263]

You're either listening to old guys whine about turbos from 20-30 years ago or their kids spewing the same rhetoric.

[@ghostcell030]

If you want the same noise as Dodge Rams just get into a vehicle with ticking noises coming from the motor. Our company has 4 Dodge Rams and they all have random issues and 2 needed motors replaced before 130k miles.

[@nono7984]

2.7 vs 3.5 ? how much weight are you going to tow?

[@k20t559]

61k ford is loosing it, I'd go for a ram 5.7 loaded for about 45k

[@clintmullins4406]

Yeah you can get a ram for 45k but you can also get a 45k f150. That 61k f150 has technology that ram doesn't even offer. Radar cruise, blind spot warning, lane assist, auto braking. Etc. if people want a pickup with Lexus features it's the f150. Dodge and chevy do not offer those features.

[@Jv19979]

You get what you pay for you either want off brand or name brand

[@Bigben-pz8bx]

Good comparison however I'm old fashioned and like v8s. Any chance you could get the five liter and pull the same trailer. I would love to see how it compares

[@HumbertoYi0878]

won't be good. everyday driving sure, but those mountains really make those turbo's look good, can't beat forced induction when you start running out of air. nothing against TFL, but if you want to see a towing test between the two, and you don't live in high elevation, I'd suggest a different reviewer. again, not knocking TFL, they live in Colorado, so they test there. if you don't, then understand all TFL videos are going to heavily favor forced induction.

2.7l twin turbo in mustang please ford. Thanks.

[@mariusdoiron9066]

Ultimatemxcn that would be great , the 2.3 ecoboost doesn't belong in a mustang.

[@discoveraudio6593]

V8s are WAY better than those half-engines. Get a real American car. (Chevy)

[@discoveraudio6593]

Christopher Gregory it’s true, though.

[@TeakillaSunrice]

Thanks for the review. I'm sold to 2.7 now. this up

[@TeakillaSunrice]

Thumbs up that is

[@Mebob2001]

mabey you should ask the tech's at a ford dealer how the new ecoboosts are doing/ the local one for me stated they are fixing oil leaks like crazy on trucks with less then 1500 km's, least a gm and fiats waits till 30k before it starts leaking. but the engines do work dam good but in the end of the day everyone just needs to try all 3 trucks and see which they like

[@ravynx]

It was an okay comparison. I can understand not getting similar options and especially axle ratios but at the end why don't you compare prices of similar models rather than the pink-up King Ranch model that obviously will cost a heck of a lot more? Keep prices real in the comparison rather than what model you got stuck with.

[@devn3813]

These engines sound god awful

[@FrequencyOfThought]

If sound is why you buy a vehicle I am not sure there is much help for you.

[@sly9263]

Let's be clear. Every pickup truck trying to be loud with their exhausts when they have negligible acceleration and horsepower makes them no different than a douchebag kid with a noisy honda civic. Guys just don't realize that they're ricing out their trucks, but are the same ones that would talk shit on an econobox for doing the same thing. When your goal is to sound loud and you have no speed, you're a ricer.

[@Roger-to2mn]

Who cares how the eco boost sounds when its so far ahead of the mopars, they wont hear it for long

[@drwombat]

Does that truck have dexcool in it?

[@adrokk2515]

I see a lot of people commenting about the price of the truck and scoffing at it. I have NEVER paid sticker price on any vehicle I have ever bought. Seriously, the only thing that is nuts is people believing that you HAVE to pay sticker price. I just bought a 2015 XLT with the sport appearance, tow and 301a packages. Its loaded with all sorts of goodies and the 2.7l Eco with 3.73 gears. Sticker price was $51,000. I paid $42,000. I am in Canada as well, and vehicles are a bit more expensive here...

[@Jassman3536]

Roman..Mr.Truck..the difference between the 2.7 vs 3.5 Eco-Boost is approx. 1500.00....engine to engine.....

[@MatthewSerta1]

Should put 4 cameras on each car you review, and just do the 4 split screen of all those cameras. This is cool

[@billgateskilledmyuncle23]

I cannot wrap my brain around the amount of work and size vehicle being moved by the same displacement as the Stratus v6, 80s Camry v6, and old chevy base model Camaro/blazer engine. Blows my mind!

[@klstrucker930419]

The block of the 2.7 ecoboost is actually made of iron: www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/engine/

[@MarcMonson]

klstrucker930419 compacted graphite iron yes... The same thing used in powerstroke and cummins

[@headcas620]

klstrucker930419 cgi =/= cast iron

[@MrChevypower]

Marc Monson 5.0 V8 Cummins, not the 6.7 I-6.

[@zachbattack]

Apple watch sucks

[@2strokeFORever]

I just bought a 2015 with the 2.7. i like it a lot it has so much more down low than i was expecting. Did the air oil separator and an intake already lol

[@johnroberts4789]

I ordered and am awaiting delivery of a 2016 F-150 Platinum SuperCrew 3.5L 4x4 loaded. I know it's a fortune to pay for a truck but as someone who was considering a high end SUV but ultimately wanted the advantages/flexibility of a truck, this model for me had all the luxury of what i would've wanted in the SUV. I know everyone who has commented already will say I'm stupid but I'm sure there are some of you who buy Snap-On versus Craftsman even knowing both will do the same job and have the same warranty.

[@jasonmeldrum7686]

***** Not true, where's your facts the 2.7 or 3.5 are so unreliable? The 2.7 is a new engine and there would be no history or facts showing whether it's reliable or not and the 3.5 had some minor issues years ago working out the bugs but has done a damn good job proving how good it really is. Next you mention Chevy/GMC de-throwing the F150 because sales have been so bad ? Again you need find the facts before giving your thoughts, demand is and has been there on the new F150 sales were down AS EXPECTED from retooling the two plants that produce them and they have repeatedly stated production would not be up to full until right now and dealers would not be stocked until late summer early fall the new F150 still has the shortest on dealer lots of anyone before there sold. Ford will make up ground second half of this year and will still very likely outsell GM and if they didn't right now this would be the reason for it. As for quality I would currently say they are pretty much equal and of course time will tell not opinions.

[@Fordguy1997]

I really like both of those trucks. Obviously I love the exterior styling of the King Ranch and all of the interior features, but I wouldn't buy one because it's too expensive and too heavy with all of that extra tech weight. I'd be content with a lowly equipped Lariat or upper level XLT. However, if I were buying a new F-150, I would actually wait for the new 10 speed auto and the updated 2nd generation 3.5 ecoboost. That will probably be 2017.

[@7onisesa5]

61k???????!!!!! ford.com $31000.00 for an xl what options are in this truck to be 61k!

[@ericfraley]

Optioned similarly, there is NOT a $14,000 difference between the two trucks! You could get a lower optioned 3.5L ecoboost for significantly less.

[@rayk9897]

I love how people think the King Ranch is the TOP TOP TOP of the line... Its like, seriously? Did you not know about the Platinum or Limited? 3.5 or 2.7 you cant go wrong.

[@c.juneau410]

GOT A 2013 F150 4X4 3.5 ECOBOOST WITH 3.73 REAR END. UNBELIEVABLE POWER. IM VERY INTERESTED IN THE 2.7L ECO, CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE OR NOT??

[@clintmullins4406]

All the people complaining about the price of the truck need to study an options list. For all the big 3. You can get into one of these trucks for the low 40s. It won't be a heavily optioned. The 502a option to get the lane assist/adaptive cruise is huge package of equipment. Which is why the option is 8k. But it turns the truck in a luxury car. It's an amazing amount of tech that works extremely well.

[@OffGlengolandFarm]

Hello I just wanted to point out a couple of errors, the F150 with a 3.5 Eco boost and 331 rear end is not rated to pull 10,700 lbs. In order to pull 10,700 lbs you need to order the trailer Max package which comes with 355 gears you can also option a 373 rear end for greater pulling acceleration. I know this as I just built a new 2016 f150 and read the fine print about max towing 😄! Maybe it was different in 2015 but I doubt it, manufactures always tout there product with Max towing figures then have a disclaimer (when properly optioned) lol

[@nickschaps4022]

Well maybe if you had compared the same body style trucks we could have come to a reasonable conclusion. But an extended cab FX4 and a crew cab King Ranch are totally different. Shit test. Try again.
