Tag: 2.7L EcoBoost

The EcoBoost V6 was introduced by Ford to offer an alternative to a gas-guzzling V8 that offered the same (or more) power and torque. While many of you here at Ford Truck Enthusiasts would rather have your F-150 with a V8, more people than ever are getting their trucks with an EcoBoost.

Ford has a good thing going when it comes to selling pickup trucks. Year after year after year, they are the top selling vehicles in the United States.

When Ford announced the 2.7L EcoBoost for the 2015 F-150, they touted its ability to run the Baja 1000. They touted the towing, the horsepower, and the performance. They also touted the fuel economy.

Ford made a big stink out of their new, smaller V6 EcoBoost engine that first appeared in the 2015 F-150. The 2.7L EcoBoost features some cutting edge engineering and the best fuel economy of all the F-150 engines currently available.

In addition to dominating the pickup truck world and selling some pretty bad ass sports cars, Ford has a fast growing utility division.

When Ford announced the 2015 F-150, it basically declared the Tremor dead. But with the 2015 F-150, it might actually be a good time to give the Tremor a second chance!

Ford’s new 2.7L EcoBoost is extremely efficient. It carries a 26 mpg rating on the highway, and is only a $400 upgrade over the base 3.5L naturally-aspirated V6. It’s also pretty quick, and pretty fun. But was a turbo gasoline engine the best choice in the new truck, or should they have gone the diesel route?
