That is the TRUTH!

 

I got some vendors in TN, so I can probably write the mileage off! I'd love too.

 

^ damn you guys on the East have all the fun I'd love play with some fellow F150 owners for some "all in fun grudge races". Anytime I get to play I either get flipped off after the run or they stay behind me when all I want to do is give a thumbs up. I hope you guys can meet up, I'd love hear if Dewser has a factory freak that runs hard or do the others suck at driving Have fun guys and stay safe

 

Well I didn't make it down to Knoxville.... But I am going to still go with the assumption my EB is slightly quicker.

Damn If I really don't miss my V8 growl tho.... 6.2L might be next for me .

 

and so will every gas station you pass Honestly, the EB and 6.2L are dead nuts even. You just get way better MPG out of the boosted 6

 

Now wait jist a doggone minute here.

5.0 = 360 hp/380 ft lbs
EB = 365 hp/420 ft lbs
6.2 = 411 hp/434 ft lbs

So, there's 5 hp difference betwixt the 5.0 and EB. There's 46 hp difference betwixt the EB and 6.2. Yet, the 5.0 can't hang with the EB, and the EB is dead even with the 6.2? Sounds like some fuzzy cipherin' ta me.

By the way, my best friend bought the EB version of my truck a couple days ago. We had a little fun tonight. Again, both are great engines!

 

Yeah, because none of the 5.0s run hard.

 

6.2L vs. EB

 

It's all about torque and where it's made. The NA motors need to wring out to damn near redline to make the power. The EB has a dead even torque curve from about 1600rpm all the way to 5,500 rpm. That's why spooling to about 2,000 rpm then launching is tough company for most folks to hang with.. obvious from my video posted above (spooled vs. not).

 

The reason I say that is I'd like to get into a Raptor next.

And If I went Lariat instead, I guarantee I could get as good as MPG or better than my previous 5.4L's with a 6.2L from what I have read.... Numerous folks on here have turned in some solid MPG numbers with their 6.2L's.

 

Hook, line, and sinker!

I'm just messin' with ya, hydro. I know what the difference is.

See? I figgered y'all would post a vidya of a 6.2 vs an EB. And that's when I'd post a few vidyas of 5.0s vs EBs, and then we'd go 'round and 'round again.

But I'm not gonna post the 5.0 vs EB vidyas again. Been there, done that. It's an endless discussion.

It's been my experience that comparably equipped F150s (package, features, drivers, etc) don't really 'walk off' one way or the other. They are all outstanding engines (can't speak for the 3.7), and they will accomplish any reasonable task a man can throw at a truck.

 

Jesus, another turbo hater. And when were these turbo failures? In the 80's?

Irrelevant.

Next you're gonna tell me that Ford should get rid of the turbos on the diesel engines as well.

 

Seriously, 7.3L Powerstrokes go a very long time on the original turbocharger. The one on my 2000 F250 is happy as a turtle in mud with 140k on the clock. No sign of dying on me. And Diesel is a MUCH dirtier fuel than gasoline.

The Ecoboost turbos have something the older Diesels don't, liquid cooling.

 

I have a friend that has 90,000 miles on his EB and has yet to have an issue.
I am ordering one for my next ride. My 2010 is at 100k in 2 years and 4 months

 

From a dead stop and no pre spooling on the EB I can see how it would be easily a 5.0 or 6.2 victory in a race. Now get a decent driver and some pre spooling and that EB becomes a serious problem for the 5.0 and 6.2. In the end they are all great engines and everyone is free to make their choice. I myself have an EB and love it so far, but I've always loved turbo cars boosting is fun as hell. I came from a 5.7l Tundra so I can definitely say I have driven a badass V8 in the past and about the only thing I find that I liked better about the Tundra engine was the sound it produced.

Regardless of what engine, we can all go easy on the skinny pedal and obtain some nice mileage... but that power and boost make for some big *** grins.
