  • Ford Ecoboost Anyone??

    Is there anyone out there with the new Ford Ecoboost engine yet? I know they only recently starting arriving at dealers.

    I would be interested to know your experience with towing. Power? Mileage? Overall performance? What is your specific configuration? weight of your trailer? Axle ratio? Pics??

    For those who don't know, Ford is introducing a new engine for 2011 called the "Ecoboost." It's a 6 cylinder that is way tweeked with a couple of turbo charges and techno tweeks. It's supposed to give you V8 power towing on the fuel economy of a 6.

    There's a wonderful set of "Torture Test" videos on their website telling about it.

    I've been considering one for a couple of months now. I'm curious if anyone out there has any "real world" experience they can share.
