re: F-150 Ecoboost: Anyone own one? Pros cons?

I've got a 2012' F-150 ecoboost. Love it. I'm getting 22-23 mpg on the interstate & 18-19 around town. I got 13 mpg pulling my boat from lake charles to port aransas.
I did notice an improvement in mpg after I got over 5,000 miles. It was gradual, not all at once.
I've got 3.55 rear end also.

My father in law has had his for a little more than a year now. He loves it, and pulls a 20' champion boat regularly. He swears it pulls better than the previous 5.4, as well as the GMC 5.3 hes had over the recent years.
I have the 2011 FX4 with the 5.0, and I love it as well. Been having it for a year, and i average 16-17 around town.
The eco boost has more power, not terribly much, but enough to notice a little more pep.

these can be pros...but i have a 2011 gmc sierra 4x4 and i get one less mile a gallon and i have a V8...so its not that big of difference in MPG...but to be honest i wouldnt pay that much for a V6...buddy of mine has one and it feels like it struggles when it pulls his boat...so yea a pro-1 mpg more than a v8...con-way to much money for a v6 and i feel like it doesnt have more power at all...thats jus my opinion
