Ecoboost Torture
 
Got an Email From ford with some Ecoboost Vids.


2011 Ford F-150 | EcoBoost Torture Test | FordVehicles.com

I got to drive one today dragging 6800 lbs and it felt awesome. 80+ miles per hour, passing tundras, rams, and silverados UPHILL like I owned the road. A must buy. Being a turbo fan I had and idea of what to expect, but my expectations were blown away by the Eco's flat torque curve. If I needed to buy a truck to pull, I'd be all over this, kicking some V8 butt. :D

That was a pretty impressive video. Props to Ford, I knew they tested the engines but I didn't know exact what they did. It's pretty neat to see exactly how they test these engines.

Now if they would just post the rest of the videos... I am not a patient person when it comes to truck info- Just ask my wife!

Nice, but will be very hard and expensive to service later on down the road :(

I always look at things from a fix it myself perspective because I am cheap :D

This is the engine that is going to be used in the Police package Taurus next year as well. Quite fast.

Personally, I would go with the 6.2L in the truck.

The operative word is "Some"....Yes, it'll rule the 1/2 ton class, and I'm glad to see it. If I were in the market for a 1/2 ton, I'd go with the ecoboosted F150.
