Anyone got an F150 with eco boost?

Thinking of trading in my Pathfinder for a pickup, would like a bit more towing capacity for my camper, and hopefully a boat someday.

Anyone got a Ford F150 with eco boost? Pros / cons?

Thanks!

Got one and I love it. Haven't towed heavy with it but it has more torque and tow than the V8 supposedly. I always had the V8s. If your looking new check out alone Star Ford in Texas. I got my 2014 as a new leftover. After having it shipped here I still saved over 4K. The dealers around here wouldn't come close to their price. Good gas mileage and a good pickup with the little twin turbos

Thanks. It absolutely has more towing capacity than the V8.

I had the 2000 F150 4-door, V8 pickup, and before that the Ranger crew cab. Was a great around town truck and with kids on trips, but no comparison to my 2012, F150 V6 Crewcab (suicide doors). Haven't towed anything, but hauled a lot. The thing is great. Great pickup, pretty good MPG. I've done round trips NJ to the Cape and back on one tank of gas. Best vehicle I ever owned, by far.

I picked one up in Feb and I'm glad I bought it .

Ive worked on quite a few new (all aluminum) Ford 150s
Not too impressed !
The all aluminum doesn't translate to mileage considering to cost of the truck and what it will cost you when you bang it up.
But a Toyota !

look at RAM 1500 V8 best bang for the buck easily get 20 mpg highway and tows fine

and the fords are to expensive I lease 12 k a year went over by 1200.00 mile no issues no magnifying glass or white glove when I re leased

and no 600.00 payment

RAM is also on my list, thanks for the response.

I have 2016 SCAB F150 with the 2.7s - averaging 19+ mpg. Runs fine and like it. Have not towed yet.
