Other than that she is strong. Can spin my 35x12.5s easily it is leveled. The secret to keep this engine going is to do your basic maintenance.

Drove it across the country for pipeline and it saw all types of terrain and long idle or drive time. The motor is an absolute stud. My favorite gas engine I’ve ever had. 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.

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.

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

i drive my dads and it does its job. its all preference tho! people want the v8 for sound. Eco for power

[@cristiansofake7854]

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.

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.

[@foxtaubery9850]

It is pushing about 17 psi stock

What years is the first generation ecoboost motor?

[@wowcrazy70]

I love my 2.7

[@alaynagomes49]

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.

[@CustomOffsetsTV]

Nice work!

How'd your 17 do for mpg with the 34's?

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

[@adventureairinc7355]

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.

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

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.

[@sixwheelcarlisle8491]

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.

[@wesleywalden1632]

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.

[@zakblaze5728]

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

Good luck finding one right now. With the demand of those trucks and the prices of them when you do find one sheeeeeeesh.

[@thegrapevine10]

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.

[@lisandrocastillo212]

What about the 5.0 f150? Cant forget about that

[@paulhunter9613]

It’s all ready forgotten

[@rodneyball6017]

I love the eco boost had 3 different company trucks with a eco boost over the past 6 years. Cam fazzer was an issue but I think ford figured that so finally I bought one for myself a 2021 f150 xlt sport 4wd love it but I want to make it look better looking at wheels and tires. Do you guys have someone I can chat with in your website to help me pick the right wheel tire combo would love to hear back from you thanks again for the viedos.
