I am really happy with my 2011 Ford F150 EcoBoost. A couple snapshots of real life mpg, 17.5 and up to 17.6 mpg. The mpg is acually about 5% better than the computer reads because of the larger BFG tires that are on the truck (285/70/17 @ 33 inches tall). This engine makes it's max torque at 2500 rpm (420 ft pounds), so running at 70 mph is effortless along with it's 365 hp.
This was the temp, 102, while I was loading the motorcycle in the back
of the truck. I worked up a very good sweat needless to say. The ice
cold Rock Star Energy drink in my cooler sure tasted great when I got on
the road towards home. My truck also has the cooled leather
seats...wow, nice feature on a day like this.
A bit of damage on the left side of the Yamaha.

I agree...the ecoboost is a great engine. I have a 2011 FX4 and could not be happier with the performance. I'm curious if you had to level your truck to fit the BFG tires?
Hey Chris,
No I didn't have to level it, they fit and don't rub. I was going to do a 2 inch level, but decided not.
I am very happy with the BFG tires. If you pull a trailer or carry a load it really improves the performance of the F150. Truck tires for a truck is what I say.
