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.

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.

[@tagle2818]

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.

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 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.

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 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.

[@paulhunter9613]

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

2013 ecoboost XLT just hit 100k miles. Complete junk. Broken mainfold bolts, leaking turbos, interior rattles like a bucket of bolts. Jankey ignition. And about a million other things. Dealer offered me a good price for it. Probably beeing sold Tuesday and I’ll never step foot near another one.
