Are you serious? There are numerous threads on this subject.

Love mine, test drive one and you will be sold.

 

Not everyone!

 

Lol true. For me personally I didnt test drive any other engine but the Ecoboost because thats what I wanted.

 

I test drove them back to back and the 5.0 just suited me better. I tried to talk myself into the EB, just could not do it. Now, I am totally happy with the 5.0. I'm getting as good or better mpg than most of the EBs are reporting and when I get on it, it really goes. I love the throaty exhaust sound. My wife even loves the sound.

 

I love my Ecoboost. I have no regrets.

 

I have to say I liked the EB on the test drive but it really grew on me a week after. I also thought I would miss the sound from my last 05 f150 but really enjoy the quiet exhaust. And love when people (ricers) try to pass me and I shut them down. The look on their face is priceless.

 

Yep, I've done some of that myself. Fun, and no way my tuned 5.4 would do that. The Ecoboost is really a great engine for Ford and if it proves reliable, will make them a lot of money.

I'm in truck country, and one thing I have noticed. The Hemi guys don't show off around me anymore like they did in my 2005. You don't see the hemi ads on TV anymore either.

 

I've seen one too many OEM turbo setups coke up and seize over the years. I wanna see how the EB engines are doing in 5 years after they have 50, 60, 70K on them.

They probably got spanked pretty hard by an EB truck, Now that they are not the big dog on the roads anymore, they just hide in the corner with their tail between their legs.

 

I believe "EB" is too short to search with


ETA yup too short

 

Yep, you are correct, my mistake.

Actually easier than doing a search, you can go to the 2011 forum and just start down the list of threads. Pleanty to be found that way.

 

x2, I prefer my 5.0L SCab over the EB SCrew I test drove.
