It's still $1095 on the 2014s. It was only $750 when I bought my 2011.

 

Same here and I had a $750 coupon from Ford from the MY Ford magazine to apply towards my purchase. So, I got the eco for the same price as the V-8.

 

Here in Edmonton. 5.0 or eco. No difference in price.

 

If you are ordering the trucks, you'll see that difference in pricing. Some of the dealers in town may be "hiding" that charge, or offering larger discounts on the EcoBoost, but the difference in price is still there behind the scenes from Ford Canada.

 

Don't let the "V6" label fool you, I'm not seeing the EB matching the 5.0 in mileage from the many reports I've read here. Close, in some cases, but only when the EB is carrying a tall gear and I'm gathering not many folks have those. If you're looking for fuel mileage in a truck look for a 5.0 with a taller gear. THEN keep your speed in check, past about 75 the mileage on both plummets.

 

I've got good real world comparison. My son has the 12 F150 screw with 5.0 and 3.55 gearing. My truck is the 13 F150 screw with ecoboost and 3.73 gearing. Both of our trucks are almost identically equipped with options and actually I bought my truck because I liked his so much.
Anyway, getting to the comparison. Resently we took a trip as a group to the mountains and back on a 5 day get away.
Our trucks get almost identical mileage on the trip. This also holds true for our day to day driving around the city. On average we both achieve about 19 / 24 mpg (canadian) for mileage. I say Canadian because it's bigger than the US gallon. 4.4 liters Canadian vs 3.7 liters US. So our mileage numbers north of the border are higher.
I will also add that owning an ecoboost and driving turbo diesels for a lot of years that, your mileage is greatly affected by how you drive it. When you push the gas pedal into the boost, you will pay at the pump. The ecoboost can get good mileage. But it can get really bad mileage too if you like to be that guy that leaves the pack behind when the light turns green.
So there you go. This is my experience with our truck. It is what it is.

 

I am seeing between 15-18 city and 18-20 hwy us gal, when in the country roads mode doing anywhere between 45-64 mph, I have seen as high as 25 mpg, the real test here is for how long?

 

I've had my '14 Ecoboost w/4.10 gears for 9 days and my average is 18.2 MPGs. That will change later this week when I put my big beefy mud tires on it.

 

Like I said. Ecoboost mileage is like any other turbocharged engine. Good mileage that gets bad the more those blowers spin.

 

Oh congrats bro! I didn't see you post that anywhere. Wow 4.10's huh?


To the OP:

I am sorry but I find these topics of longevity kind of pointless. Most people do not hang on to their trucks/cars long enough anymore that it would remotely become a factor. (notice I said MOST) There will always be negative and positive reviews on any car or truck and let's face it things break or fail with any vehicle. I would say buy what you feel will work best for you and move on with life! Honestly I think any engine would last the test of time if you have regularly scheduled maintenance and don't beat on the motor constantly.

 

My last truck was a 95 Silverado with the famous "Small Block" Chevy
350. I changed fluids, plugs, cap, rotor, wires religiously and it ran great, albeit
a bit sluggish here at 6000 ft. with a 4 sp auto.


At 170 K, it's only engine problems occurred. An oil line leak, and an intake manifold leak. The
later was noticed by a rough idle, and a decrease in gas mileage over a year. It ran fine once warmed up, and the gap sealed itself. Had me baffled. Each of those repairs was around
$800.


Anyway, these type of problems will happen to any motor, especially pushing 200k.
I agree with The Prince. Get what you want. If a turbo goes on my EB, so be it.
It may not be as expensive to fix as if the power seat quits. Who knows.
The EB engine is worth it when you live up here in the stratosphere.


Oh, since mileage has been mentioned, I get 21, and up to 24 driving low 60s.
Down to 16-18 driving 80 which is legal here.


However my Audi with a V8 engine suffers the same degree of
gas mileage loss heading south on I-15. It usually gets 25 mpg going 65 but will only
get 19-20 going 80 mph. It's the ol' drag and the "square of the velocity" rule.
