re: Ford F-150 Turbo V-6

I'd avoid the ecoboost. I've owned a couple of turbocharged engines over the years. Forced induction is cool but it comes with a price. Turbochargers wear out. It's just a fact of life. Eventually they need rebuilding. The little bit of money saved on gas goes out the window when that time comes. Also, turbocharged engines operate under more stress and heat. If you're looking for a motor that will last longer with less maintenance, I'd go with a naturally aspirated V8.

This is relative in powertrain now days, most of GM and many foreign stuff is GDI naturally aspirated, three times the moving parts.
In my opinion, the 3.5L EB is the best platform Ford has built since I've been keeping tabs. I do engines for a living.
And to answer what happens if the turbo pukes on one, I charged 900 to put the FIRST one i've ever seen fail. Go by a 5.3L GDI and pay to get the pump replaced.. its naturally aspirated.
