I have the 3.5 Ecoboost on a F-150 4x4 and it's a great engine, very reliable. However, I get HORRIBLE gas milage.


Same here, I got better mileage from my 01 Lariat 2WD 5.4 V8 than my 2012 FX4 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Of course the truck is much heavier, so I don't know if that more about the what I'm pushing or the engine itself.

If it's under warranty don't do anything like an aftermarket tune for performance or fuel economy...Ford loves to void warranties these days
