I've got an fx2 with the ecoboost with 3.55 rear end and I love it. On a recent trip to florida doing 85-95 the whole way I average 17.5 and on they way back set cruise at 78 and average 20. While pulling my 21' bay boat I average 16 driving between 55-65. The truck pulls like a beast and I have had any problems so far in 11,000 miles. And on another note my uncles 09 tundra with the 5.7 cant keep up with my lil v-6!

I have the Ecoboost and love it. I have a 4wd, with the 3:73 rear end and I can easily get 22mpg at 60 miles per hour. I drove a 5.0 for two weeks as a rental vehicle and didn't care for it. The Ecoboost is very quiet and the truck rides like a Lexus but can haul azz when you want to.

Anyone know anything about the Ford diesels?

Wait ! Rumor has that Ford Is planning on a V8 Eco boost in the 2013 F150. If so it should be a beast.

The harder the engine works, the more a turbo turns up.
If you don't hear it, it ain't turning up, but it ain't stopped either.
I have seen turbo's glowing red at night on natural gas compressors. Loaded.

Yes explain to us how that 6 cylinder diesel pulls so good at hwy speeds cause once you get up to speed its only a 6 cylinder.

I recieved my ecoboost in September, already racked up 11,000 miles. I have the 3.73, 4 X 4, 6.5' bed, with the max tow package. Arround town i average 16mpg. The only long trip i took without a load was 300 miles one way @ 19.5mpg. I have a 32' bumper pull camper, figured the weight of camper and contents to be arround 9,500lbs, pull it with no problem, except only gets 9mpg. If you are gonna do lots of towing i would get the ecoboost, it is a beast. The turbo lag is very minimal but noticeable if you know what to look for. If just ocasional towing get the 5.0. eather way you will get a truck that you are going to love to drive.
Another downfall is with the ecoboost i could only order a 26gal tank not the 36 like I wanted.
