2011 Eco-Boost Test Drive

Ford contacted me several weeks ago asking if I would like to test the new 2011 F150 Eco-Boost V-6, twin turbo. Ford has a guy who drives all over the country bringing the truck to your door for a 30 minute to 1 hr. (depending on traffic) test drive. All that is required of you is to answer questions duriing the drive.

I was so impressed with this trucks power, handling, braking, steering, everything. Once again, Ford has raised the bar in producing an outstanding truck.

Do you own a F-150 now? What engine, how does the Eco Boost compare to a 5.4??

Thanks for posting but how does it compare?

Thx,

I currently own a 1999 F150, 5.4 with 112,000 miles on it. This truck has been flawless since day one.

To answer mccart125: The Eco-Boost was surprising. It had much more power than my truck and the torque of the eco-boot was jaw dropping. Overall, the new eco-boost is a fantastic engine.

I had a dream last night that I tested out an EB. Of course the great steering and power were very exaggerated.

Starting to get anxious.
