2013 Ford 5.4 ltre?

[FreightTrain]

How's the fuel mileage? As advertised or better/worse?

I'm happy with it. I average between 18 and 19mpg per tank. Mixed driving and keeping my foot in several times per tank. One thing I've noticed and I've also read it before is the Ecoboost loves hot humid weather. You'd think it would like cool dense air being turbo charged, but I get my best mileage in the summer time.

Not sold on the ecoboost. Let's have this discussion in 10 years when the 5.0 & the ecoboost have 200k on the odometer.

Why wait 10 years. Just go to youtube and type in ecoboost challenge.

Not the same as 10 years on the road.

I bet there are some that have 100k miles already.

Ask our safety director at work who has 110k on his Ecoboost and has already had to replace all of the injectors/coil packs and a catalytic converter. I'm not too happy with the Ecoboost right now and am now buying 5.0's for our light duty construction guys. I bought 4 Ecoboost trucks before our SD starting having issues. I hope it's isolated but I am a bit concerned about long-term durability irrelevant of what Mike Rowe says on a Ford created website.

Disappointing as I really wanted to love the Ecoboost.

My brother's 5.9 cummins shit out 3 injectors with 95k miles on it and then at 104k the other 3 went out including the lift pump. Not to mention the A/C compressor went out 3 times during the time he owned the truck. Of course from reading everything on the internet your suppose to beleive the 5.9 was touched by God and never breaks down. Shit breaks and I don't trust anything once it gets 100k miles on it. My truck is over a year old and just hit 10k miles. It has a 60k mile power train warranty and will be paid off before it runs out of warranty so I'm not worried in the least.

Cummins break down, a lot, even more so in heavy applications and a lot of it is related to EPA required parts. There is a big reason cummins has grown from $6b to $18b in less than 10 years and it isn't based on parts lasting forever.

I'm not saying it's a bad engine, but a little disappointing based our experience. The truck our SD had before was an '08 Chevy 5.3L ext cab 4x4. We moved it over to a shop truck after 210k miles and 3 years. Repairs? Battery, alternator, some minor front end suspension bits, and a crank position sensor. That's it. We were hoping for the same or better experience plus better gas mileage out of the loaded Ecoboost Lariat we bought him. Mileage is only 2mpg better which isn't bad, but isn't earth shattering. Other than better towing due to the extra power, we haven't been too impressed.

Yeah it's a not a 5.4 If it's the platinum it might actually be a 6.2.

The ecoboost will outrun a 6.2 I've done it!

I had to have misheard him. He was across the street shouting it at my house with cars going by. It has to be the 5.0. He is no dummy by far. What times have you gotten out of your eco Jason? The Jap truck ran a best of 9.143 at K'dale with just a drop in K&N filter.

I have bigger tires now, so I am sure that hurts a little.

True, times kills.

I know of several

Do you work at Turner? They have several of the Ecoboost trucks.
