F150 ecoboost

[Kim473]

So I got me a 2013 ecoboost about 2 months ago. Pulled a buddies 19ft bayliner inboard to Rock island lake last week (500km), drove to work and back this past week and still have about a 1/4 tank of fuel. About 700 - 8oo km. Looks like it averaged about 22mpg. Have less than 5k on it. I love my truck. Looks like it will get about 30mpg. no trailer, after its broken in.:sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:
The power is amazing also. :sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:
Anyone else have one and what do you think of yours?

It was just a matter of time until this debate reared it's ugly head.

It reminds me of when they ring the fight bell on Jerry Springer and two spandex clad hale and hearty toothless inbred sisters start throwing punches after they both got caught sleeping with their Momma's baby daddy.

[Ken07AOVette]

Right on! Great hearing when someone gets a good one!

I'm trying to find one for kid #2, or a 5.0.

The old 7.3 is a great truck, but too much for a daily commuter.

[Grizzly Adams]

That the one , where, if you forget to fill the urea tank, it goes into Limp mode ? :lol: That could be embarrassing if you're hauling a load. Happened to a friend of mine.

Do yourself a favour and don't read the post then!!!

While I'm no ford fan I applaud them for at least trying something different. Would I buy an Eco boost ? Probably not but if I had a company and could lease with warranty protection id think about it.

[Kim473]

I can't wait till the warranty is off. Rouse performance pack will be installed. 60hp and 80ft pounds of torque. Bring it up to 425HP and 500 lbs of torque.

[5Lgreenback]

We have a few 5.0 and ecoboost F150s as work trucks. I was thinking one of these would be my next truck but a couple years into use we have had some issues with them (mind you they are likely driven pretty hard).

They best mileage I could muster out of the last ecoboost I drove was 14L/100km, driving like a grandma, not towing, and 95% hiway.

Sounds like you got yourself a good one.

[Ken07AOVette]

We took an ecoboost to bc last year and averaged 10.8L doing the math.

Now he says it is very difficult keeping it under 13.

Injectors?

Interesting. Im also wondering if the ECU gets used to certain driving styles and with different people driving the trucks at different times and sometimes towing sometimes not makes it struggle to maximize efficiency...

[unclebuck]

I have 2014 F-150, loaded for bear, with the 5.0l engine. We pull a 26" bumper pull trailer with it and while pulling it, I have been getting 22.4mpg. avge, including Hwy 16 to Kamloops and Hwy 97 to Armstrong. Just put the shifter into "trailer", and you can maintain highway speed, including passing all of the underpowered Chevs and Dogs.:sHa_shakeshout:

I would love to see a picture of your fuel mileage computer display showing that mileage with over a hundred km. You would be stuffing socks in a lot of gaping holes here.

[Albertadiver]

I've got a 2013 ecoboost and very happy with it. I recently had an ECM reprogram and I think that helped my mileage a bit. I'm getting around 14.7-15.3 litres / 100km. It goes down if it's a highway drive, but around town that's what I'm getting. I tend to be a little heavy on the foot off the light at times.

When towing I'm around 17L/100km. I've got about 24000km on it now.

I had a 2010 F150 v8 5.7l and would get basically the same mileage.

In my personal experience the ecoboost isn't a super fantastic fuel saver, but for a full sized truck I'm happy getting over 900km to a tank of gas.

I can tow my travel trailer with ease, passing on scott lake hill if I need to and the mountains are no challenge for the truck. The only thing that slows me down are the curves to be safe.

[elkhunter11]

They best mileage I could muster out of the last ecoboost I drove was 14L/100km, driving like a grandma, not towing, and 95% hiway.

That matches the results that a friend of mine is getting with his ecoboost. He likes the power, but he isn't thrilled with the fuel mileage. What he really doesn't like about the truck, is when he pulled out to pass, and the engine thought that it detected a missfire, and shutdown some cylinders, as he was beside the vehicle that he was passing.

[NBFK]

I bought one for my wife two weeks ago. I drove it home from the dealership and it felt pretty good. She sure likes it a lot. I hope we don't have any issues.

[Smokey]

I like my new to my truck 2000 Chevy 5.3L, 130k. Gets bad mileage, but it cost me $3500 and is $400 a year to insure. What I don't spend in insurance and payments goes doen the pipe I guess.

5.7l?

[salmon slayer]

I had some plug issues with my Eco boost at 60,000km, my mileage is around 13.5L so much better than the 5.0L

[salmon slayer]

I mean not much better than the 5.0L

[Albertadiver]

5.7l?

My appologies. Brain fart.

This is the 2010 F150 I had.
http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr214/albertadiver/Dakota/img002.jpg (http://s485.photobucket.com/user/albertadiver/media/Dakota/img002.jpg.html)

I put bigger beefier tires on it and that had a big effect on mileage.

[Kim473]

Normaly I have been getting about 13/100 (21.5 mpg) city and about 10/100 (28mpg) hiway no towing. Hoping it improves after its broken in. I know the cover over the box helps slightly on the hiway. When taking the roto tiller to the cabin, got about 12 hiway. Coming home with the cover closed got 10 on the way back. Maybe it was down hill. LOL.

[angery jonn]

I had the eco boost for 1 1/2 yrs. Loved the truck, had tons of power. I did'nt have that great of fuel milage and it really sucked if I was pulling my boat. Now I have the new 6.7 1 ton and it's freaking horrible.

[CanuckShooter]

I like my new to my truck 2000 Chevy 5.3L, 130k. Gets bad mileage, but it cost me $3500 and is $400 a year to insure. What I don't spend in insurance and payments goes doen the pipe I guess.

There is something to be said for that combo!!

My 2012 6.7 averages 12.3L/100 but I drive for mileage. Are you a lead foot? May be something ford can update?

Anyone else have one and what do you think of yours?

had a new XLT 2012 F150 super screw 4x4 eco-borschit for 15 months, the worst gas sucking piece of sheit I have ever owned in 40 years of driving and owning probably 30 trucks,

cost me $25 thousand beating to have that piece of crapp for about a year, try trading one off in immaculate condition with 30thousand klms on it ,
the dealerships have HUNDREDS of used traded in eco-borschit pic-ups on their lots !

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ?

[angery jonn]

My 2012 6.7 averages 12.3L/100 but I drive for mileage. Are you a lead foot? May be something ford can update?

Gawd, I hate people like you, LOL. Every damn person I talk to gets better milage than me! I don't know what it is! And no i'm not a lead foot. On the majors I do 120km and I 'm lucky to get 15.6-16. Everyone I talk to gets 14 doing 130km/hr. I'm running 35 x 12.5 like a lot of guys, yet my milage doesn't compare. If theres a cross or head wind, forget about it, 22L/100KM. I've takin it to Ford on multiple occasions and all I hear is my truck is normal. According to 3 different dealers they all checked my tire ratio and it was set correct too. I hauled a 12' x 7' empty cargo trailer, from the Hat to Calgary and that took 3/4 of a tank.
BTW, what the heck is with the 100L tank in a diesel? Wish I would have noticed prior to signing the papers! Would've bought the long box.

[nekred]

I have a 5.0 F150 and I am getting 12.8/100 driving like grandma and 13.8 when I put my foot into it.

What I do like is the power maybe not as much on paper as the ecoboost but there is nothing better than a v8 rumble..... if ford took the 5.0 and run the same turbocharging system on it as on the ecoboost that would be pretty cool!....

thats what I replaced my 2012 eco-borschit with, a new 2014 5.0 Liter V8, awesome fuel mileage and it SOUNDS like an ENGINE !

not a mile'd out mini-van with a plugged up catalytic exhaust converter!:sHa_sarcasticlol:

[Huntnut]

LMAO

Just bought a 2014 f150 with the 5.0 in it. Brand new out of the box it gets 13.6L/100km's

[dcutter]

I just turned 9000 on my '14 F150 with the 5.0l. I haven't reset my average, and I am sitting at 12.9 l/100 km.

And yes it does sound like a truck! I don't very often put my foot into 'er, but when I do, boy the ponies come out to play!

Love mine!

Ya, till you burn a turbo per year out with it... They ain't cheap...

[nube]

I got a 5L 2013 Crew cab. I get 12-13 highway and 14 overall and I am happy with that. I can't wait till some of these Ecoboosts blow some tubes and we will see who is happy with their trucks then! I think they are both great trucks but I am a little worried about those turbos as you can tell.

Im sure they will spool up the 3.7 or 5.0 in the near future to stay ahead of Dodge and chevy. Look for it in 2016.

[syncronized77]

I own a mid size ute and I'm thinking about upgrading to a truck for towing....you guys are saying you get 700-900k on a tank, but how much does it cost to fill your guy's tanks?

[rembo]

Some of the newer gas trucks might be pretty good with lots of torque on paper and decent mileage.

But if you want to tow something get a diesel. My 2011 2500HD Duramax often drops under 12 L/100K on the highway cruising at 100-110K and with two Honda Rubicons on the deck and my old '98 vintage 22ft trailer that's about 6000 lbs loaded it runs 18-19 L/100K while cruising at the same speed noted above...and I can pass on the highway..:-)

We have a gas truck as our shop truck and while it's nicer around town I'll take a diesel any day when towing.

And around and around this one will go...

You have to tow a lot of km to justify the extra cost of buying and owning a diesel. Yes I own a diesel pickup, my 4th and I'd never buy another one if I wasn't towin' 40-50,000 km/yr.

Edit; I should amend the above to: I would never buy another NEW diesel

[chadyaz]

120L tank at $1.25/L = $125 to fill if the tank still has 20L in it.
If you drive to BC where the price is $1.50/L, you'd spend $150 for the same fill. Towing you'd likely not get more than 400km/tank (depending on which direction you head)

I can't remember but my computer says I can get 850+ K per tank. I think it is a 131L tank.

[nekred]

When I bought my 5.0 I was torn between it and the ecoboost, now wioth the feedback I am really glad I got the 5.0....

Gonna start tuning it to see what it can do with a chip, exhaust and intake....and headers....

A buddy of mine has the exhaust bypass on his 5.0 stang (not street legal) and that it really cool sounds awesome... especially when some little rice burner comes up all tiiiing tiiiing tiiing and then he hits the bypass and it is kind of like a rottweiler barking back at a chihauhua

[Ken07AOVette]

I can't remember but my computer says I can get 850+ K per tank. I think it is a 131L tank.

I was REALLY impressed last year with buddy's ecoboost when we went to BC, it pegged at 999km to empty and stayed there for quite a while. Mind you it also has a huge tank.

I get on a real good day 725 km on a tank in my 12 6.7 1 ton, but it only holds 85 litres. (you want to talk about a cruel joke?)

[Ken07AOVette]

Lol haha. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

When I run my Toyo Open Country MT's, 35-12.50-20 I use about half a litre more on the highway than the factory 20" tires.

Bear in mind though I coast to the stop signs and red lights, and do not care if the idiot in the ricer next to me beats me to the next red light, I drive a LOT yearly so I try to make every mile count.

Pulling a trailer the mileage and power are ok, but these 6 speed 1 tons are essentially high clearance grocery getters with this tall gearing as far as I am concerned, running 1600 rpm going 110 takes it out of the power band and you are hunting for gears.

That said I would buy another, but if I were pulling a trailer more I would opt for the DRW version with lower gears.

[Kim473]

Mine has 136L fuel tank. Last tank was 950km, 500 of that was pulling a 19 ft bayliner on the hiway, the rest was city driving in heavy traffic to work and back ( 13 L/100km ). I'm sure empty, I would get 1200 km to a tank on the hiway. About ( 30 mpg or 9 L/100km ) Does not have the heavy duty tow package but is still rated at pulling 10,000 lbs. The 3.5 ecoboost turbos make max boost at 2500 rpm, 365hp, 420 ft lbs of torque.

The 5.0 makes 360hp, 380 ft lbs torque.

As far as fuel milage, I think the gearing makes a huge differance. I have the 373 gearing I believe, which I think are more of hiway gearing. But it still pulls great. The heavy duty tow package is rated at 11,300 lbs ( lower gearing )

When the warranty goes of, I'm putting on the Rouse performance package which is supposed to bring it up to,
- 425 Hp
- 500 ft lbs torque
May need some traction bars when that happens. LOL

I have the 5.0 in my 2011 with the big tank I recently did 900km to a tank during my camping trip last month...with 12.5L/100km according to the comp.
On average I get 15L/100km during normal city driving. Where a tank will last me almost a month and I get about 750 to 800 km out of it before I fill up. I think it is all in how you drive it.

High clearance?

My buddy said his wife Subaru Crosstrek has more clearance than his F150 Ecoboost.

I laughed.

These new trucks, in a push for fuel economy and catering to the masses of people who drive buttery smooth highways with them in the states, are becoming high seated grocery getters. They are starting to stretch the word "truck" other than HP figures.

I'll continue to drive my 16 year old Toyota. Nothing has been offered that appeals to me for an upgrade.

(I don't tow large loads obviously) I prefer simple and reliable.

[greywolf]

A freind of mine has a 2013 ford eco, which is now 1 year old, has never reset the computer, towed once, approx 1000 km, and the rest is combined/hiway driving. Monday his computer showed 16.1L/100KM. Our round trip to Calgary was 12.3L/100km.

anyone that claims a consistant 9.0 to 9.5L/100 on the hiway with their ford ecoboost, would you please sell me your truck ????

[Kim473]

I did a trip to Okoyoks yeserday, Edmonton to Okotoks and back. 753 km in total. The on-board computor said, 491km left of fuel and 10 L/100 km = 28 mpg. Cruising at 110 plus on the QE2. Not once did it ever kick down to a lower gear to climb any of the couple of hills. I think if I cruised at 100 km or so it would have been in the 9 L/100 k. Its better than my old 2004 mid sized Dakota with its 6 cyl. Only 8000 km on it and getting its first oil change this week. All most 1300 km on one tank of gas. ( 136 L )
I love my Ecoboost !

[Magnet7mm]

I have a 2011 Eco love the truck when it runs right lol had a 2 month fight with wiring and injectors before ford got it right
Avg mt is the 14 litre per 100 k mark
Pulling my 35' bumper pull with two large slides I drop to 21 gross weight is around 7800 kg without water
Have all kinds of power for hills and passing don't tow enough to need a diesel and I keep up with my buddies dodge, pulling equal weight trailer, everywhere we go

[Browning Sharpsh00ter]

I can't wait till the warranty is off. Rouse performance pack will be installed. 60hp and 80ft pounds of torque. Bring it up to 425HP and 500 lbs of torque.

Edge performance also makes a great add.

[schmedlap]

I have 2014 F-150, loaded for bear, with the 5.0l engine. We pull a 26" bumper pull trailer with it and while pulling it, I have been getting 22.4mpg. avge, including Hwy 16 to Kamloops and Hwy 97 to Armstrong. Just put the shifter into "trailer", and you can maintain highway speed, including passing all of the underpowered Chevs and Dogs.:sHa_shakeshout:
I declined the "ecoboost" on my new '14 F150, with all "the goodies" and got the 5.0L. Saved some comparative $, don't have the "complicated" maintenance issues, and am very impressed with the power, mileage, and selective modes for towing, etc. Too new to be certain, but in researching it I just came up with the 5.0 being a better long term certain option.

[220 Swift]

On the 3rd ecoboost now. Had a 2010 5.4 L before that.
Liked them all the same and had no probs with any of them. All had 110kms on them when sent back.
12L//100km normal fuel economy at 105km/hr

I'm sure empty, I would get 1200 km to a tank on the hiway. About ( 30 mpg or 9 L/100km ) Does not have the heavy duty tow package but is still rated at pulling 10,000 lbs. The 3.5 ecoboost turbos make max boost at 2500 rpm, 365hp, 420 ft lbs of torque.



The 5.0 makes 360hp, 380 ft lbs torque.



As far as fuel milage, I think the gearing makes a huge differance. I have the 373 gearing I believe, which I think are more of hiway gearing. But it still pulls great. The heavy duty tow package is rated at 11,300 lbs ( lower gearing )



When the warranty goes of, I'm putting on the Rouse performance package which is supposed to bring it up to,

- 425 Hp

- 500 ft lbs torque

May need some traction bars when that happens. LOL


No need to wait to add the kit rouche. Takes over the warranty when their kit is installed
Have researched it because nearly bought one new with the kit installed
Sick truck to drive but would be incredibly hard on tires

Did you fill up when you got back to Edmonton to see how many liters it actually used?

Did another trip to Okotoks and back to Edmonton. This time I filled up when I got back and calculated.
760 km , 83 liters = 10.92 L / 100 km = 25.87 mpg

That was crusing at 115 km/ hr average on hiway 2 and 105 on the Henday and on the Deerfoot. Did a tiny bit of runing around in Okotooks and a tiny bit of Edmonton city driving. I would bet that mine will get very close to 28 mpg or better driving at 100 km/hr, after 10 to 15,000 km ( broken in ). Only have 9,000 on it now. Close to beeing broken in now. I Love it. Can sure tell when the first Turbo starts to work on the small hills. The second Turbo (larger of the two) is obvious when it kicks in.

Heres a pic of my 2013 5.0L doing 110km/hr going to Calgary and drove 100km a burn 11.5L of gaz and driving 100km/hr i burnt 10.5L of gaz

Don't trust your on-board computor for your milelage. Changed mine over to miles per gallon, as compared to L/100 , it's in US gallons on mine. LOL Only on a vehical made for Canada would they do that. What a joke !

Just get with the times, we have been using metric for 37 years. You pay by the litre why bother converting to MPG....:)

Mileage was so-so when we had our 2012. Average around 14-15l/100 km.

Traded it in at 38000k when it started giving us issues.

Loved the truck otherwise. Was awesome for towing.

Well I thought I would share - it's not astounding or anything but I was pretty happy that I could do it…

2x 1000cc Motorbikes fuelled up, back seat of the truck filled to the headrests with gear, 2 adult males, 136L of gas in the truck ***I stop filling the tank when it clicks the first time, I do not 'get all I can in the tank'***

Your kidding right. I never new that we were metric. Wow ! You just saved my life cause I have been doing 100 mph on the hiway for the last 37 years. and I thought I just had a really big gas tank, ( 136 gallons )
Thanks.

Just wanted to see what it would say rather than converting the old fashoned way.

I had a 2009 F150 with the 5.0 and was averaging 12.5 l/100 km ... bought a 2103 ecoboost based on the marketing genius of Ford ...boasting better fuel economy and better pulling power ... i'll grant them the pulling part ...but fuel economy is worse than the 5.0 ...i average 13.5 to 14 and i drive conservatively ... the turbo is very sensitive and a gas guzzler when it kicks in ... i will NOT be getting another ecoboost

Perhaps if you knew anything about these products you would get it right. 5.0L didn't get put in to the F150 until 2011. Prior to that it was the 5.4L, a real dog of an engine. Sure in 09 they got better mileage but at the expense of having zero power.
