Drove an Ecoboost today

Only you would use a ratchet size to describe throttle openness lol

Off topic a little, but...

I emailed Ford about getting the 3.5L Ecoboost setup as a complete crate engine...not happening at the moment, and no plans of dong it. Now I need to find one in the junkyard...

One could only pray. You should make a stop by The Sanctuary and pray for one lol.
Nothing against religion meant, so sorry if anyone takes offense to this.

My EcoBoost is due to arrive on May 12. Wheeeee!

Yea, turbos are great for power. problem is the whistle and pop is addictive so the gas consumption goes down the toilet.

I used to have a turboed Ecplipse knockoff, it wouldn't get any worse than 20mpg no matter what I did. It would get darn near 30mpg on the highway.

Kinda funny back in '03-04 that was doing pretty good for a 200hp car...

I personally LOVE the new F-150's. Both my vehicles are paid off though, and I like it that way. It is very tempting though..... They are just plain sexy to me.....

I love them too. We just got one in at work as a salesman's car.

Someone needs to wreck one so someone on here will attempt to swap it into a Ranger, pronto!

I always say...never buy the first year vehicle....wait until crap gets sorted out and then buy the thing....lol

i agree with this to.. one of my friends was gonna get one but we talked about it and now he's gonna wait till next year- at least... and just keep driving his old 150 for now.. i know stuff should be fixed by ford, but its still a hassle if he would have to tow it in every couple weeks or so.

its fun eh! its even funner when its Ford allowing you to take it to WOT and test the speed limiter

i rode along with my dad when he test drove the new f-350 (then bought the same truck haha) and my dad asked how much it actually had and we were doin 30 and he said mash it and we were up to 80 in no time.....they are insane....and the specs cant be right bc my uncle got a 2011 sierra and my dads truck stomps it if they have a load on but no load the GMC won...pullin 4 bulls in a trailer though both the GMC and f-350 the ford beat it all day long
