on 11/20/15 at 6:31 am to FeralI have a F150 V8 and the wife has an Expedition with ecoboost. she gets better mileage and her suv can run circles around my truck. I have no idea about the longevity of the engine yet.

on 11/20/15 at 6:42 am to jimbeamFamily member has a 5.0 with the 3.73 rear that has 210,000 on it, drives from Lafayette to Baton Rouge almost every day. I'm a huge ecoboost fan but if this is your plan put your mind at ease and get the 5.0, it's proven

on 11/20/15 at 7:12 am to FeralI recently bought a 2015 3.5 Ecoboost and i'm amazed. Was always a chevy man before. This truck is in a world of it's own, literally.

on 11/20/15 at 7:41 am to hawgndodgeI had 2013 with 95.490 on mine no issues.
June and July I towed 5,000 lb trailer a few times in the mountains of New Mexico and Arizona did ok.
In June got 2015 with 2.5 L ecoboost and so far so good knock on the plastic console for good luck.

My V8 does 24 at 65. Mileage wise, ecoboost is a sham...power wise, it's solid. We may see the mileage spike once they introduce the 8 speed trans though.

on 11/20/15 at 8:13 am to FeralI love mine but about the best mileage I get is 14.
I have a 13 Ecoboost. GREAT motor IMO for someone that uses a truck like it should be used. Hauls my boats/trailers better than anything I have driven and is quiet but will burn rubber at any second. I'm approaching 80k with no issues whatsoever. In the next year or 2 I'm hoping to upgrade to a newer body style but will stick with the Ecoboost. I can't argue about the MPG because my truck isn't exactly stock.

on 11/20/15 at 8:27 am to fisherbm1112i have a 2012 F150 3.5 ECO with 63,000 miles on it. It seems to be holding up pretty well, like a lot of the others i worry about the engine lasting long term. I also get 17-18MPG running around town. i have only taken 2 trips since i've owned it and got around 20MPG.
The power of the eco boost is awesome. Towing my dad n laws tractor is a breeze.
My wife's brother has a 2013 5.0 and the 3.5 that i have seems to handle the load of the tractor a little better then his 5.0 does.

on 11/20/15 at 8:27 am to jordan21210The 5.0? What rear end?
Here's my question. If I get an f150 I plan to put 33" tires and am looking for the most fuel efficient setup because any of the motors win have plenty of power to pull what i need.

I'm not sure what rear end is in his truck, i will text him and try to find out.
