Looking to get a truck and heard these can help save some gas. I read though that they only save you like 1 mpg. That's not a large improvement.

Anyone like theirs? Any reason not to upgrade? It's less $1000 to upgrade, and you'll repay that over the life of the vehicle.

Heard torque is not an issue with Ecoboost and is even slightly better than V8 at lower RPM

I don't have one, but all my friends who do love it compared to the v-8 of the previous years. The new model Fords are top notch

I get 18.9 mpg during my everyday driving. I got about 10.5 mpg pulling a 22' baystealth to venice with 5 guys. No issues at all pulling the boat out of the water

If you buy a truck, I'm making you pull the boat to the duck hole this year.

I just don't trust a turbo. If that thing goes out, watch out.
