I'm now Ecoboosted.

Anyone know what these make at the wheel? I'd never think about buying a truck but the brother is looking at a second truck for daily use.

Also, can any owners chime in and say if they experience any noticeable lag?

Thanks.

Sorry to bump my old thread.

I just put new tires, 2" leveling kit in the front and took the step bars off. I like it a lot. Thought I would share. Tires are Nitto Trail Grappler MT's 295/60/20's or 34/12.0/20's
The thing that sucks is all 4 wheels got damaged when the tires got put on Friday evening. I don't mean a random little scratch, I mean gouges down to the metal. I didn't notice it till Saturday, it was dark by the time I left. The tire store isn't open till Monday. I will be going back In the morning to talk to them about fixing them or replacing them.
Anyway, on to the pics.

This is with the front leveling kit.

With the tires.

Without steps.

see that yellow circle? thats supposed to be at the valve stem.

so when they fix/replace your wheels make them mount them correctly haha

good looking truck.

Thanks guys!

very nice, love the color, the fx4 package...with smoke lites

Nice but I gotta ask, why the four doors? Most trucks I see are that version and unless you haul passengers it seems to give up a lot of bed space.

I've driven single cab long bed trucks and the short bed crew cabs and by far the crew cab is much nicer. If you want 100% work truck go buy a bare bones xl and be done with it. But in that case if you want 100% work truck I'd be getting a super duty to begin with. The crew cab f150s are sweet, very nice interiors with room when the family needs to go somewhere and still have the ability to have a truck bed when needed. Why would that be so hard to understand?

whats your MPG looking like now with the 34s? I want an Ecoboost bad but worry about mileage..especially towing the boat or car. The duramax got 17.4@70 mph the other day towing just under 7k.

 

[Paulinator]

nice purchase man!

 

[GOTSVT?]

Waiting to hear real world results with towing 7000 lb plus trailers

why is that? that seems odd.

Looks like a very nice pickup

 

[Boss 327]

Nice truck. I just got one with the 5.0.

Why did you decide to go with the ecoboost?

 

[fangstang]

sweet truck

 

[blacksrt]

looks good!

 

[Kellyo77]

I got an Ecoboost because I liked it. That's about it. The power from a V6 in that big of a truck is just impressive.
The fuel mileage sucks. With the new tires it's even worse. What is the difference from 15 and 13. Not much. I am gonna spend around $90 a week either way. So might as well be happy. Lol!
Thanks Guys!

 

[forcefedcobra]

the tire manufacturer puts that spot on there so that if lined up with the valve stem it will help the wheel/tire combo balance better.

Is that average? 13-15 city/highway mpg?
I thought you would maybe do a bit better than that.

I haven't heard much about these being tuned, possibly to get a couple more mpg's but I also haven't researched too deep. Nice truck :dancenana:

 

[61mmstang94]

I thought these trucks were supposed to get about 25 miles/gallon? Is that going 45 miles/hour on the highway never making stops?

I guess it's a fantasy of mine to ask for a full-size truck that could get 25-30 miles/gallon, have decent power and capable of towing a decent load.
