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

The Ecoboost is great for around town driving and occasional towing. It gets good MPG while unloaded and the torque is great for towing. The torque curve is very similar to a diesel motor but once the turbos start spinning, the MPG drops (while towing).

I have the 6.2 and am very happy with it. I test drove a 3.5 and was impressed by it too. I did not get it because I do not like brand new motors (yes the 6.2 is new but simple technology). My motor has to rev up to 3500 RPMs to make the power that the 3.5 makes at 1500 RPMs. Both have their pros and cons. Now, two years later, I would have no worries buying a Ecoboost. It out performs almost every gas motor on the market including the 5.0 and 5.3. It gives the 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2 a run for their money and beats several of them in certain aspects.
