I know a couple of guys that have them. The one guy has over 40k on his. He did have to have 2 coils replaced a few weeks ago. He loved it some much he got his wife one. He said he moves his skid steer with it. He said he gets around 20 with his. I now another guy that has one and he is getting 18 but he only has a few thousand miles on it and he drives it offroad which knocks his mileage down. Ford did some extensive testing on the Ecoboost.

I bought an ecoboost crewcab 4wd for my wife. We love it. It has 38k miles or pretty close. We have had no problems and the little truck will pull. I like it better than my Chevy hd, goes effortlessly. Wish we had another. This is our first Ford to own. I hope it continues to do well.

Should ride smoother than the HD empty.

Naw the welding bed has lulled the hd to a wore out Cadillac ride

Your F250 with the 6.0L has one. It works so good you never knew you had it.

a few months back I had heard talk about them and that the 6.0 had them.. just never put much thought into them and them not having a wastegate.

are they putting this in the 350/450 trucks? or is this a 150 only job?

I bet if they took a small V8 and "Eccobosted" it, it would take a big market share away from the diesels. Especially with all the EPA regs.

Can you hear the turbo's whistle?

No, unfortunately not! I would like to hear them!!

I can!

I have had my 2011 Ecoboost F-150 for one year now and 13,000 miles. It has been flawless and has cost me zero dollars other than the two oil changes I did and fuel. Supercrew with 3.73 and 4x4 and leveling kit and I get 22mpg going 72-74ish on the interstate trips I take to work on 87 octane with ethanol. Around here and mixed city driving I get 17-19. Not bad for the giant, heavy brick the F-150 is.

And when I want to, this thing can fly!

It has been far and away my most favorite truck I have owned. I only wish I could hear the turbo whistle

I really wish Ford would put the Ecoboost in the Expedition.

My brother has a 2011 ecoboost 150 4x4 crewcab. He has been very disappointed with its mileage. He's taken it back to 2 different dealers trying to find out why it will only get 13 in mixed and 15 on the hwy( if he drives below 70). The dealers have said..."everythings in spec". But....all you have to do is look at his blackend sooted up tailpipe to see that its running rich. He's looking to sell it now with only 20000 or so miles on it.
