Hello all,

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a new 2012 F150 XLT 4x4 Extended Cab with the Ecoboost engine. I am currently driving a 2008 Toyota Tundra that has been a great truck. I'm just really intrigued by this engine, and very impressed with it's performance. Are there any good tips, trick, etc. that you all can share to assist me with this truck? It also has the electric locking rear differential. How good of a unit is this? Are there any gremlins in this truck I need to be aware of? (Ever truck has it's issues, I just want to know going in.) Thank you all in advance.

Donnie

 

So far, surfing the forums here, it appears there are transmission issues with these trucks?

 

 

Welcome! I am going to move this to the V6 forum where you will get more comments on your question.

 

Check the thread, Talked to the BG Rep today. Good read on the ecoboost.
