F150 2.7 Ecoboost?

[WilliamBos]

How many members have one? How many miles do you have on it? What is your average mpg?

Have you had any issues with the engine or transmission?

On 11/25/2015, I bought a 2015 F150 Super Crew with the 2.7L Ecoboost. It was a "demo" with 10,086 miles on it. I liked it, but my wife didn't; too much trouble for a woman her age to climb in and out of. So I traded it off on 3/28/2017 with 29,753 miles on it. In other words, we only drove it 19,667 miles, during which it averaged exactly 20.924 mpg. Other than fuel and oil/filter changes, the only problem it ever had was when the tachometer quit working at 14,661 miles and was replaced under warranty. And yep, fleet management was part of my job years ago, so I still keep some pretty detailed records.

I have 2017 F150 super crew 2.7 Ecoboost. Getting about 23 mpg currently. Mileage drops in winter, probably because of fuel blends. Lifetime average is 21.9 mpg.

Runs nice. Better ride and mileage then my '97 Ranger.

My mechanic found oil leak at first oil change. Dealer did warranty replacement of plastic oil pan.

I have a '15 XLT 2.7 4x4 supercrew, leased 2 years ago, 36K miles so far. Best all-around vehicle I've ever driven. The 2.7 is a serious over-achiever, amazing how it propels a 4800# 4x4 truck, on regular fuel. Normal driving I average 21-22 mpg, 15-16 mpg pulling a 18' tandem with my BX FEL & RFM and gear. Towing performance is also strong up to ~7K#'s. On the road it's smooth, super quiet, very little wind/tire noise in the cabin. Wife just bought a new '17 Honda Pilot, my truck is more quiet right now than her brand new Pilot. Can't wait to lease another '18 with the 10 speed AT.

I have a 2016 FX4 with the 2.7 and it's the strongest motor I've ever had in a truck. I've had 5.3, 6.2, and four and six cylinders in Toyota trucks and this ecoboost smokes them all. My 6.2 was a 2011, not the current one. The only weakness this engine has is it falls on its face after 80mph BUT it'll get to 80 faster than you can imagine. This engine is seriously derated from Ford. They dropped the rpm by 500 and gained 25ft tq for the 2018's. This thing will surprise you and then you discover sport mode and then you really smile. Mine has 12,000 miles but those are farm miles not cruising miles. Not an issue to date and I average 21.

It gets the best mpg in sport mode, without my foot hard on it. Keep in mind that I am a conservative driver that keeps to, or just above, the speed limit. Oh, I don't mind the 'speeders', just don't complain when you can't push someone out of your way.
