[QUOTE="DSG2003Mach1, post: 14866808, member: 16477"] you guys complaining about turbo lag - what gears do you have? I have the 3.73s of the tow package in mine and it takes off with plenty of grunt, I never need much throttle input (although I use it anyway) long term, id probably look at the 5.0, just less to go wrong. I love my ecoboost and Id buy it again. Trucks that havent had either the smaller intercooler replacement or the "sticker" that blocks the lower half of the front of the intercooler will likely have the ecoboost shudder in the right conditions. Basically if you cruise at steady throttle input for long periods of time water will build up in the intercooler than get blown into the engine next time you get on the throttle hard. Give it enough throttle to shift down gear every once in a while and its not a problem. I have a slightly heavy foot and get 15.5 mpg around town, in the summer on the highway its close to 21mpg @ 78mph and in the winter its around 19 (630 mile trip to NC i make 2x per year). Pulling my Mach on an open trailer at 75 got me 13.5 mpg [/QUOTE]
