Scotty, you forgot to mention that all EcoBoost engines are flex fuel (they can use E85, which is a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% regular unleaded gas). E85 is actually preferred fuel for EcoBoost engines. Using E85 results in more power, and is costs about 25% less than regular gas. Also E85 is less harmful to the environment than regular gas. I am thinking about getting an F-150 PowerBoost (EcoBoost+hybrid) - it gets 24/24/24 MPG (and some people even claimed having up to 35 MPG in the city)

I've been driving Ford pickups all my life, (been driving for 60 years...) and I have a 2016 F-150 with 135K miles. It has the 2.7 liter twin turbo Ecoboost, and it's the best engine I've ever owned. Have pulled a 19' foot boat to Canada twice and you can barely tell it's behind you. Got 16-17 mpg pulling the boat, and get 24 mpg on the highway without it. It's been the most bullet-proof truck I've ever owned. Use synthetic oil and change every 10K myself.

I bought my 2016 F150 XLT with the 302a package, thus outfitted very well. I'm the second owner, but I got all the paperwork/receipts since new, as the fellow that bought originally always took it to the same dealer. It needed one exhaust manifold (warranty) but other than that, here it's 2024 and I'm coming up on 136K miles and it runs perfect! I've not had any issue, and I still keep oil changes to 5K and use the recommended Rotorcraft semi-synthetic and quality oil filter. The power these 3.5 Ecoboost put out in 'Sport' mode is crazy, not that I use it often, as I do personally drive for fuel mileage, and on a photography trip I took last year, I was getting 23 mpg, and that was mountain driving, so I was pleased. It's truly, a pleasure to drive, yet I often wonder if the higher end trucks put a higher end sound system in them? Mine is ok, but my last F450 King Ranch dually had a sub woofer and lots of speakers, and definitely preferred its sound over what I have now. Not complaining, as it's just ok...but I do love my tunes!

I'm 75 and if I live to be 95, and still can climb behind the steering wheel, I'll be driving it, because I only go 5K miles per year and it is a great vehicle. Gas may go up to 10 bucks a gallon, but it will be cheaper to own than any EV or most other cars. Ford rates the 2.7 Ecoboost for at least 225,000 miles. By the way. We have dual power heated seats ( my wife had to have one too) in the front with a fold down console. It's always left down. It's fine and has a lot of storage. However, someone else could ride there if necessary. We also have the cloth seats. I had leather in my prior vehicles. Nothing wrong with the cloth. I need to clean them though. Will do that when it gets warmer. Anyway, I love my truck.

I changed all the plugs and fluids in it when I bought it as I did t know the service history. Really the only issues have been an intermittent catalytic converter code and the rear window defroster quit working (I don't want to replace to fix so I'm ok with that). It runs good and everything else works just fine. Pretty good for the miles and age with all the bells and whistles the King Ranch has. And...it'd a very nice ride.

A lot better pick up to speed and going up long hills the turbo's kick in. Eco's make & have more torque on the low end. Now towing with a F350 7.3 Godzilla . MPG's towing is about the same as the others. Empty in town & freeway is about 3- mpg's less. but I bought it to tow. No replacement for displacement in this case. Diesels do not get 2x the mileage. More like 10-20% in my experiences & other friends with them.

I bought a used 23 F150 Platinum with the 5.0V8. Truck had 12k miles when I got it. Honestly the V8 can get upwards of 20MPG if you are doing 55mph. Ill get 20mpg all day on flat ground in ideal conditions. My real world MPGs are right around 16mpg. The 3.5Ecoboost has a higher tow rating than the 5.0 does, but I went with the 5.0 specifically because of the reliability that the 5.0 is known for and that V8 sound

@omed.i 22 күн бұрын

Another good review Scotty. Having had the ecoboost in the past and now the 5.0, I disagree with the mpg. The ecoboost barely went over 17 at long highway drives, but my V8 now reaches 22 mpg on the highway with almost 150k miles. The ecoboost averaged around 16 mpg combined while this V8 gives me 18-19 mpg combined with the more than occasional spirited driving. The V8 is just more natural in these trucks regardless of what you use it for. The ecoboost was smooth and fun still but I don't think getting a better mpg should be a selling point for it. Also I would much rather have the V8 for longevity.

I don't off road or tow any significant weight and I get 25 to 30 mpg. I bought it as the plain Jane version for 32,000 just before the pandemic. It is an ecoboost v6 but I have it serviced riggerously. At this point I'm at 140,000 miles on it and other than regular maintenance I haven't had any major issues. I had to replace the turn signal switch and the head lamp bulbs. That's literally all I've had to do to it so far. I'm still driving on the original Michelin ,tires rotated regularly, at 140,000 miles and I still have another couple thousand miles before I have to replace those. Everything is wearing out perfectly. So I wouldn't buy a new f150 today but I'm glad I did back in 2020. Buy far the best truck I've ever owned.

Unfortunately, both the new Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon pickups don't have the extended cab available. With Ford, you would have to get a full-size truck starting with the F-150 for that option. With my new 2019 Chevrolet Colorado 4x4 that was bought over a year ago, I was lucky to obtain a truck with not only my goal of having 4-wheel drive but the added bonus coming with my cab design of choice.
