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.



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

And FIFTY less horsepower. But yeah, those two more cylinders make you sleep easier at night.

Either you're full of shite or he's trying to tow a Hatteras.

Yeah, 420 ft/lbs of torque and is weak. What does your 5.3 have? Oh, 105 less... And yours beats 0-60 in 6.4 seconds?
