5.0L or Ecoboost

[Braddock54]

Ended up buying the Ecoboost. I was hesitant, but couldn't resist the low end torque. It just flat out has jam. The 5.0 was good too, but I felt it would have huffed and puffed under a load like my last 5.3 GM. Sure it sounds a bit like a sewing machine, but it pulls my 6000# trailer pretty well, just chugs along at 2000rpm or less.

Best I've seen on the highway is 12.4l/100km, no trailer.

Congrats on the new rig

I myself ended up going with a 13 f150 fx4 screw lwb. It doesn't have the eco jam but the roush exhaust and intake make up for that

Best I've been able to do so far. This was setting the cruise at 95 km/h. Road is a little up and down, no major downhills or uphills, but not flat.

I'd love to know how Ford got 9.0L per 100k!
