Durability vs. Economy

[mikedatiger]

I had an 11 F250 and now have an 12 F150 Ecoboost. The 250 actually got better mileage for both city/highway. I find you have to baby the Ecoboost to get stated mileage, but the truck is so fast and so fun to drive it's hard to drive it easy.

The last time I towed my boat with the Eco I used the tow mode and was amazed that I was getting 16/17mpg above 40mph.
