Ford F-150 "EcoBoost"..Anyone have one?

[hpboats83]

I was going to ask what the towing capacity was but it sounds like it's not very good at towing 8000 lbs. I was thinking of making the switch from my F350 to an F150 because I cant stand the ride. I get almost 18 mpg in my Diesel on the highway.

What does your Shockwave weigh?

That's a good question but I would guess boat and trailer are 6500-7000? But hopefully I will need it to tow a Daytona.

I found a moving company who allowed me to drive on the scale, unhook my boat and get the weight without even charging me, it was pretty cool. I would bet your boat is at least as heavy as mine, Bobby lays those Shockwaves up solid.

I saw that you posted in another thread that they are going for 48K and then I looked and saw that my same truck in the 2014 model is 65K Maybe I will just stick with my paid for '06.

That was the cheapest one. The other four or five 4x4 supercrew ecoboosts were 50-55k. Just depending on certain options I guess? The platinum white is really nice in the "limited" here's that truck, 55k. Interesting is that the front license plate on all ecoboost models is off to the side on every front bumper.

Just a FYI....they do that because the plate in the middle would block the intercooler

You and my wife would be the only people in the world that could own a Prius and get 15 mpg...lol

I don't think a license plate is gonna help the lead foot

That sounds like a challenge?

not really a challenge more like reality...lol

I will be babying my jeep for a month trying to get it to 15 mpg. My wife takes it to the grocery store a half mile up the road and by the time she comes back its at 13 mpg...wtf
