6.2 V8
411HP @ 5500rpm
434 lb-ft @ 4500rpm


3.5 V-6 Twin Turbo EcoBoost
365HP @ 5000rpm
420 lb-ft @ 2500rpm

I'd say that the ecoboost is a BEAST!

I like the 5.0 better, but the 6.2 would be sweet.

BTW I was behind you the other day pulling in the neighborhood. Think it was Sunday.

You put 35s on there? How big is your level?

Eta: the low end torque on the Ecoboost makes it a towing machine with a 15% better fuel mileage than its older brothers.

Buddy of mind bought one about 4-5 months ago and it started down shifting randomly. He brought it back to the dealership and they gave him a new truck without the ecoboost

I've only got 4k miles on mine but I love it so far


I read about these problems before I bought it but I realized that you'll read more complaints than praise if you look at the forums too much

I'm very impressed with mine so far, but lift and tires really hurt my mileage

That's to be expected. I would do the same. Do you have any pics of your setup?
