I bought my wife a 2010 Taurus SHO with the eco-boost, this car was the reason for my purchase of a 2011 Ford f150 super crew with the same engine. The truck is the best 150 I have ever owned. The power is fantastic, the fuel milage is good(16.5 average, 21.3 on the trip to Florida). With the 3:55 posi trac rear end, I can pull my 7200 pound Searay with no problems. The big difference is that it runs a whole lot stronger on premium fuel, have a little over 8000 miles on it, and like it better everyday.

#54 of 236 Ecoboost Vibration at idle by cat125

Just purchased a F150 Lariat with ecoboost engine - there is a vibration when the engine is in drive or reverse - as soon as placed in neutral or drive it does not - talked to the service manager and he says it has to do with the fact there is toque once the transmision is engaged - not sure if this happens on all 2011 F-150's or just the ones with ecoboost engine - can anyone comment -

Torque is the amount twist at agiven RPM. the more torque and higher RPM equel more horsepower. the Ecoboost deveopes its max torque at lowerRPM hence it can do more work at alower engine speed. Ideal for trucks. I took delivery of my Ecoboost F150sc on 05/30 2011 and have only put 1600 miles on it but it is averageing 21.3MPG On a trip to Flagstaff AZ. elev. 7000 ft.Inoticed NO drop in power The torque is comparable to my first dodge diesel.Now if it will just stay together this truck will be awsom.
