The Ecoboost has been on the road for a while now. Let’s hear about your experiences with the turbo-charged 3.5 F150. How long have you had your EB, how many miles and what do you use your truck for?

I am considering an EB with my next new F150 purchase.

17200 miles. I bought it in June 2011. It was built 01/11 and so far seems to have been built before any of t he issues that have come up since.

I'm getting an amazing 20 mpg's mixed and well over 24 on flat interstate and 22 in the mountains.

My truck is my DD and it hauls mulch, top soil, lumber and usually just my bride and me.

Driving my 2004 Expy is now a chore where at one time it was my pride and joy. The ecoboost is only going to get better as Ford builds from it's "lessons learned".
