I have owned every model half ton truck there is from ford to Toyota. I was excited to read the reviews and read all the info I could about the latest and greatest f150 with the Eco boost engine. Ordered one just the way I wanted it. Don't believe the hype. The engine is a dog. Yes it will pass everything out there, except a gas station. I know several owners of this hyped engine and no one gets anything close to the promised gas mileage. We all get about 14 to 15 combined average with 16 to 18 on the road. Love my 2013 new dodge 2500 and get 18.9 with it.

6.2 engine is awesome. power to spare even with 2 sleds on the deck and two more on trailer. (added a leaf to the rear) 16 mpg loaded and empty i will sneak 18 out of her. 170K miles, (switched to mpg not litres per hundred, for i am old and understad standard better. lol) and not one thing done to engine and drivetrain, just wear parts in truck
