Nice comment, moodkill

Sweet truck. Sweet color! That leather looks amazing.

 

Just stating my opinion, i did tell him congrats on the new truck

 

I notice you live in Denver, does the ecoboost seem affected by the high altitude? I drive a 99 F150 w/5.4 and moved close to Denver from PA. The first thing I noticed was the power lose from being 5k above sea level. I also was getting 18mpg in PA (truck is not stock) but living in the Denver area I barely get 15mpg. I wonder if the ecoboost, 5.0, and 6.2 will experience this type of power and fuel mileage loss.

 

Congrats! Great lookin truck!! Enjoy.

 

Turbo motors typically excel in the higher altitudes...

Pasted from an online article after a simple Google search:

The high-altitude performance of a turbocharged engine is significantly better. Because of the lower air pressure at high altitudes, the power loss of a naturally aspirated engine is considerable. In contrast, the performance of the turbine improves at altitude as a result of the greater pressure difference between the virtually constant pressure upstream of the turbine and the lower ambient pressure at outlet. The lower air density at the compressor inlet is largely equalized. Hence, the engine has barely any power loss.

 

I wish I never clicked on this thread....that's exactly what I want!

Enjoy the new truck!

 

I was going to have to spend some $$$ (that's what I told the wife).


I am glad you added that last part in there! I was starting to think you were going to tell us the same line you told your wife!

Nice truck

 

Ecoboost seems the same powerwise in Denver as it did in Omaha. Quite the opposite with the 2002, when I got to Omaha it felt more powerful than usual, almost got cold feet and turned around and went home without the new truck
